First attempt at cliffs and waterfall. When did trees become so difficult?

Not bad Gigge.. the edges need some sharpening, and the cliffs could use some more horizontal elements to break up the vertical striations.. but this is nice..

Thanks for the suggestions, Poppa.
Knockoff (Jun 17, 2004)
Ohh, this is really nicely done.
I love the depth. And the little waterfall is nice.
If you put more detail into each thing (grass, trees) becuase overall you have a lot of detail, but it looks flat in some spots. Still very nice.
emmamommalag (Jun 17, 2004)
That's better, Gigge, now that you've sharpened it up some. It's a very nice picture.

I don't think it's flat. I think it's pretty good. It does beg the remark " pull my finger" lol...

WOW! I really like this picture.Hands are really hard to get right and you've captured them beautifully!
cmb (Jun 17, 2004)
I just came to draw- but had to comment- what a lovely picture- are you working from a photograph? fine shading!
Gigge (Jun 17, 2004)
Ooh, yeah thanks forgot to mention....I used a photo from an 'AIDS Relief' site (I think).

Ok...time to move on. I think I learned alot more from doing this one pic than trying to do several rough sketches. Too bad I learned more toward the end of the draw than the beginning. Maybe I should retitle it 'Tree frog sitting on string of green chile peppers'.
DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jun 9, 2004)
I think you did a great job, especially since you are new to the tools... I'm still learning (every time I use the applet) I think if you had put some highlights on the outer perameters of the frog it would have brought him to the foreground and separated him from the background a little, but other than that I think it's perfect.
audie (Jun 9, 2004)
Thats real good.
Gigge (Jun 15, 2004)
Yeah, DBA, I was wondering whether I should add a 'glow' around the frog. I got up the courage to ask a mod for more space, but I've just redone 3 pics so I'll wait a bit to touch up this one.

Nice background, Gigge. Waiting to see what you put in front of it.

Ok....I wasn't going to add any kind of a foreground, but you pushed me into it, Mamma. ;)
laurael (Jun 15, 2004)
Looking at both versions, I'm glad you did add the flowers. They make this look complete now and I wanted to tell ya...nice job!
emmamommalag (Jun 15, 2004)
Yay, Gigge! Very pretty flowers you've added... I like this a lot. :)

I drew another outline for a picture that was mostly glass and then I realized I had never actually drawn glass. Not as bad as I thought it woulc be. Things I learned this draw.....keep blurring, keep blurring, keep blurring....

davincipoppalag (Jun 12, 2004)
Blur is good..but you also need sharp edges.. use the antialias setting and a small brush..and then blur the inside edge (it helps to enlarge when you do this part) with the sharp outlines the rest will look ever so much more real...the top of the clear glass vase is off a bit in perspective I believe. The front edge needs to be a bit higher, it seems to drop too low? This is a good job! I particularly like the blue one!
emmamommalag (Jun 12, 2004)
I love that blue one. Nice job on all of it. :)
WildMageDaine90 (Jun 13, 2004)
that's pretty good! i agree with davincipoppalaq on the need of more defined edges, but it's cool. i like.
~WMD90 (LOL)
Gigge (Jun 13, 2004)
Yup...I agree too! The problem started after version two when I decided to add a background so you could actually see the glass. That didn't work at all. The clear glass got so over worked it wasn't worth salvaging. Better to take the comments and try to incorporate them into another picture. Thanks for the tips though. :)

So...still a bit west of realism, but improving. I learned this time that I like the feel of full flow, medium opacity.

Hehe...googly eyes and tomato leaf hair probably would improve it. But unfortunately, that's not how the tomato I was holding looked. I'll keep those suggestions in mind for the next vegetable draw. ;)
davincipoppalag (Jun 11, 2004)
Waaaaa no greenery??? ((BTW..just for the record.. and for accuracy..in actual fact.. a tomato is actually a fruit , not a veggy) ..o ..not even ONE little bitty green leaf? lol
RIKG (Jun 11, 2004)
Hehe, thats really nice. I like the shading, its good.
I don't like tomatos though.
ILoveKenshin (Jun 11, 2004)
Dang... that should be in advanced.. O_O I can draw realism at all! :D

I wanted to work on drawing stones. And, I found this old photo of European castle ruins. The different layers of stone that were used as the techniques changed for masonry over the years provided an oportunity to work on differnt types of stone. It was also kind of symbolic. The draw changes as my abilities with the tablet and drawing in general do, kind of like the castle stones. I think I'll be hanging out in beginner for awhile and playing with the tools some more.
