lol, I have that a LOT.In fact, almost all my pictures are like that^^;.That's also why I'm so slow at drawing because I gotta go back and correct it><.No problem about the comments though.I really like to see people improve and I'm just trying to help you^^.Btw, I really like all your drawings.Keep it up XD.

Boy have I got alot to learn.. I looked at this and said .Wow..then I read the critique and I had to say Wow to that too..I got alot out of what Gigandas said...you really have to look at your own stuff very carefully as if you are completely detached from it ..my work here sucks so far..but I am still gettting alot out of seeing the great pics that many here do, and the other insights I get from the critiques.. i LOVE this site!

EYE just like it. That's all I've got to say. :)

Yes, I know, original, aren't I? Oh yes, yes I am...

What the... Grphsdhtop... *note to self, never ever submit unfinished work.*
Yes, I'm stupid.

No, it's not really finished, but I've taken too much space as it is, and I am very grateful for what I was given. I know I didn't get any papers or junk on the floor, I'm sorry.

Maybe when I get better I'll do a larger version of this on the Intermediate board.

Taori's right, love the texture with the bricks and things.I really like the light shining in there, but looking at your reference, I think the center of the beam could use some white white(as in R:255,G:255, and B:255).But good job overall^^.

Harmanye (Feb 16, 2004)

White, yes of course *bangs head on desk*, I should have done that when I made the light in the first edit. Thank you oO;.

Gigandas (Feb 16, 2004)

Sorry I mentioned this late, but I thought it was better than never mentioning it^^;;;...

davincipoppalag (Feb 17, 2004)

I like the lighting alot.. and the overall feel..

First of all, glad you got your pic back.And second, it's definitely another great piece completed by you^^.Somehow, your drawing remind me of the oil painter Thomas Kinkade....

DinoFlorist (Feb 16, 2004)

This is a good picture! '____' I would hang this on my wall, and not much goes on my wall unless I draw it myself. I really like the glow of the house reflected on the snow, as well as the whole purple tone.

kk, done. cheezy background. tried for the whole sand/water/sky/cherry blossom thing... err.. not sure it worked out. but hey.

Haushinka (Feb 16, 2004)

wow, thats really good! i love the background!

Gigandas (Feb 16, 2004)

I think it worked out nicely^^.Looks like a photo taken in the frame and works out nicely.Well done^^.

Pkingsora (Feb 15, 2004)

You should try going for a couple hours, then you'll REALLY know what hurting because of drawing is like^^;-Trust me, I've done it on paper before.Anyways, onto the picture...I have to say you are improving a lot^^.I don't know whether you were holding back or not, but this is one of your better ones I have to say.Great job.I wouldn't have the patience to draw more than one character per drawing so that makes it even better><...

davincipoppalag (Feb 15, 2004)

very nice.. these have great expressions..and the one on the right seems to be actually looking back at you!

I got the "Good Ending" with Tidus... It was so sweet. I almost cried... Poor Shuyin...

As for the pic, just messing around with the water... Erm... Yeah. It took about half an hour for the actual drawing. I was having some fun with this one ^^;

I love this, especially the uber smooth shading/shines on his forehead. The teeth rule, as well, I didn't realize that's what they were at first, lol. Awesome job.
