Am I the only one who sees a face?
Gigge (Jun 14, 2004)
I dunno. I can't see anymore. Too busy crying over the spilled milk.....,,,,,,,..comment. :D
emmamommalag (Jun 14, 2004)
I don't know about a face.. I see a white dog with spots of different colors.

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....

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. :)

I found an old sketch book from 6th or 7th grade. It looks like the last thing I was working on was cloth. So, I decided to try again. I think the contrast of the folds here may be a bit sharp, giving the cloth an upolstry feel rather than cotton or silk, or polyester or whatever it actually is. Things I learned this draw.....patience pays off and rather strange for a black and white draw, that right clicking acts as an eyedropper tool. Go figure.

I like it.....i agree its really realistic looking. Detail is AMAZING!!!!!!!!
mx (Jul 7, 2004)
Very nice...
I like the fact that you gave it an "aware" unfinished look...i.e, you knew when to stop when it was looking good:)

go well

Wow, you are browsing way back. And, giving me too much credit. I cut this piece out of a magazine 15 or so years ago. That's all there was to the clipping, no more to copy. ;)
LovelyLori (Jul 7, 2004)
wow... awesome!

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.

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.

Although I like doodling, this is my first online drawing and first real drawing of any kind since about the age of 12. Good to see that my skills have only partially deteriorated...sigh. The subject matter isn't very interesting, but this was mostly an exercise in learning the blending tools. Any criticisms, critiques or helpful comments would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to improve!

Thanks,
Gigge

I think it's very interesting, Gigge. I love the colors and you seem to be catching on quite well already. Looking forward to seeing more of your pictures. :)
Gigge (Jun 8, 2004)
Yeah, Cheese (so used to calling you that) it's the same Gigge. I found you! haha And, I went to look at your gallery. I'm floored. Very impressive.

I read the rules twice VisceralVamp. I see that I'm over the size limit, but I don't know how to correct that. Help, please :/

This is all very new to me, but it seems like alot of fun. Thanks for the encouragement everyone!

I took VisceralVamp's suggestion and reworked this pic now that I have a clue (just a small one) about the tools.
Renuar (Aug 12, 2005)
I find this relaxing. Very good Gigge.
