Hehe, yeah I cheated on the background. I just used this sketch to test a bunch of stuff I hadn't done while doing all those portraits....an older woman, someone facing left, and drawing without a reference. But, I hadn't studied bodies, so....I guess I did use a reference...a mirror for the 'buff' shoulders that don't fit with the head. Thanks, Sal. ;D

A Monkey For Kyle

Anna (Jun 25, 2004)

Monkeys have been the topic of discussion with Kyle (Hope you like it). So I wanted to try drawing one. I used a picture from National Geographic for this.

I'm so jealous that you can actually leave your computer on for more than 20 mins. Mine always freezes or completely shuts off. I need a computer geek boyfriend.lol ANYWAY! I really like this pic. It looks so neat and I really like the way you did the face. so smooth. :D

DMV (Jun 27, 2004)

I like the colors and coloring technique you've used in these last few drawings. It seems to work with these great characters.

davincipoppalag (Jun 27, 2004)

He used to be a teacher but he retired because he no longer has any pupils. (ah jes caint hep it)..This is a great character Dino..so imaginative and your style is wonderful.

emmamommalag (Jun 27, 2004)

He's a mean looking dude. Great job on the coloring and shading. Lol @ poppa's funny.

Eagle Nebula I see.
Very different approach to drawing nebulae. Very detailed. Very nice. Draw more! ";

Knockoff (Jun 28, 2004)

WOW! This is amazing. The colors are excelent! It has a lot of depth to it. This is great.
Awesome job!

mooseflower (Aug 4, 2004)

It's scary how you keep coming up with these great 'draws', DMV.

DMV (Jun 26, 2004)

Thank you all:) yeah I thought so too VV :)

davincipoppalag (Jun 27, 2004)

But that's why he is doing that. His job is coconut opener on an island in the south pacific, he was the fastest around because he used to open them with his teeth..sadly they wore away and he lost the world record. It was very upsetting for him and it drove him to this. Nice THINK D! lol heehehe

DMV (Jun 27, 2004)

Excellent story Sir Dave:) lol!

I dunno how you do that in Lascaux either Lori... please explain... *sips sunkist*

LovelyLori (Jun 26, 2004)

ok... ahem... damn... I dunno what the little doohickies are called... but there's this little thang over by where you can add layers, it shows two layers, stead of one, ya nab that thang, , then ya click on your pic(if you wanna clone something small, it has to be the only thang in the pic so far, I believe... oh man... you guys aren't gonna understand a thing I"m saying.... anyway, if you wanna move what ya just cloned, ya go nab that arrow lookin thang over by where you can add text... and well... if ya wanna keep clonin... just repeat.... ya git it? lol.... ahem

Gigge (Jun 26, 2004)

Hehe, I undertand you, Lori. But, that's probably because I've done the same thing to clone. But, not as much as you did in this pic. Very cool effect.

Knockoff (Jun 28, 2004)

Thats just really scarry. *runs away* Lol, this is cool. Its a great idea also.

Eye Study

MD_Anonymous (Jun 26, 2004)

And only two of them have eyebrows.

Gigge (Jun 26, 2004)

Pretty eyes. It's good to try different styles and techniques. I like the gold one the best.

MD_Anonymous (Jun 27, 2004)

Only problem is I can't come up with different styles! ^^ Thanks for the comment.

I kinda like v3

Gigge (Jun 26, 2004)

That's pretty cool how each of the versions is a completely different picture. I like the colors you used on the last version.

sal (Jun 27, 2004)

i like this version the best... nice soft colours... good draw ;)

Knockoff (Jun 28, 2004)

Wow, major changes. But these major changes are really good. I like the soft colors.

Old Lucketts Man

Gigge (Jun 25, 2004)

Here's the reference: http://www.jimemery.com/people/oldluckettsman.jpg. This is turning out quite different from the original. I hope it's not too bad in the end. I just read the photo caption and the guy lives in a neighboring county! Not good to offend your neighbors.

Aubrey (Jun 26, 2004)

Agreed about poppa's suggestions. Both hands need to be dulled down a bit. As it is now they're barely noticeable, but with a little shading they'll look great. That's a great reference picture. Your take on it is comin along nicely :)

Gigge (Jun 26, 2004)

:S Out of space again. I need you guys standing over my shoulder making these suggestions before I submit! Hmmm

deannak24 (Jun 27, 2004)

JackSprat (Jul 26, 2004)
