"Black Panther"......
firecracker
(Apr 2, 2010)
One of my favorite big cats is the black panther.....so I saw this ref pic, and I thought I'd give it a try. Well.....I'm posting this as finished for now.......there's still some stuff that I want to work on.....but I think I fixed up the "out of focus" look to his face and eye area, and I added some whiskers...."lol". I'm still not satisfied with his tongue.....I'll deal with that later. I thank you guys for your comments and cc's......I hope he looks a little better. I really luv black panthers......:)

Well....I guess this is a bad habit of mine.....I watch too many "horror" movies...then I sometimes have nightmares...."lolz"! I'm not finished with this pic yet....I didn't know what else to draw....I don't drink...I don't smoke....I don't do drugs....so I had to think of something, and I figure watching too many horror movies would qualify as a bad habit . I grew up watching spooky eerie movies....my brother, sister, and I all have this habit......my brother finally sorta grew out of it....my sister still loves horror movies.....she has the habit worse than me...."lolz". If this doesn't qualify for the contest board.....then just "bump it" to wherever you want......:) I have to post this to "finished" so I can start another draw.....I might try to add more to it some other time. Thanks again for 3rd place.....I really appreciate it!! :)
GreyGhost (Aug 23, 2010)
There are worse habits to have! Anyway, look at what comes out of it :)

I'm having all kinds of problems with this draw.....I can't get the "clarity" that I want.....it looks cloudy or something to me....I dunno what's wrong. I might end up deleting it, and drawing something else. I never did an all black and white draw before.....I'm so used to using colors. Oh well.....a first time for everything. Any suggestions and/or criticism would be welcomed.....I need help!!! "lol"!! :) There isn't any more that I can add to this pic, so I'm posting it as "finished".....if I keep "messing" with it......I'll just screw it up....."lol"!! I can always add some finishing touches to it later on.....

I like your drawing because it's less tom cruise-y than the Lestat in the movie. This fits more with my mental image of him from the books. I don't particularly like the texture on the building, but that seems more of a trademark for your work, so I respect it in that way. Over all, nice job on this piece. :)
firecracker (Oct 2, 2010)
Thanks very much for commenting "artsy".....I appreciate it. You're right.....this draw is less tom cruise-y than the Lestat in the movie. I never did read the book.....but I loved the movie. Using the texture tool is a habit that I have....I can't seem to finish a draw unless I add some texture somewhere...."lol" Yes....I agree....I think the building would look better without the texture, but I'm not gonna change it now....I'll just "mess" things up if I start messing around with it...."lol". I'm glad you like the pic though....Thanks!! :)
lori (Oct 29, 2011)
what if you used the sharpen tool on this to get the effect you seem to desire?
firecracker (Oct 29, 2011)
Hi Lori.....I think you can only use the sharpen tool in lascaux .....I don't think chibi paint has it. I haven't been to chibi paint in awhile....I'll have to check there to see if they added a sharpen tool since I've been gone. I love using the sharpen tool....it gives you great effects.....I wish chibi paint would get it. :) |

This is my first time trying to draw a male "torso".... so please bear with me.....it's far from perfect.....but I'm not gonna do any more work on this draw.....I'm tired of working on it. I think it looks ok, since this is my first attempt at drawing a torso...."lol"....:)
madscientist111 (Aug 24, 2010)
FC, it looks perfect! You perfectionist! Please don't delete it! Hot stuff!:))
firecracker (Aug 24, 2010)
Thank you "mad", for your nice comment......I'm glad you think it looks ok......I've wasted so much time just trying to make that one hand look perfect, and I can't do it. I did feel like deleting it, but I guess I'll just leave it be.....I'm tired of wasting time on this draw. I guess I'll just post it as "finished" and be done with it. I was gonna change his hair color to red.....I tried it, and my sister looked at it, and said that she doesn't like red-haired men...."lol".....so...this is the way it's gonna stay.....whether I like it or not. Thanks again for commenting "mad".....I appreciate your comments and opinions....:)
madscientist111 (Aug 25, 2010)
The hair looks perfect! Sometimes I think guys with red hair remind me of Howdy Doody or Bozo the clown! LOL!
firecracker (Aug 25, 2010)
"LOL"!! "mad"....Howdy Doody or Bozo the clown....Hahahaaa.....that really is funny.... I guess I have to agree with you.....I never cared much for red haired men....they look kinda nerdy or something....I dunno what it is.....but most of them are just not very manly looking......but there are exceptions though. Speaking of Howdy Doody.....I used to watch that show all the time when I was a little kid. I never much cared for Bozo the clown though......my sister hates clowns.....she says they're scary. I'm glad I decided to keep my "hunky hunk's" hair the original color....I'm not gonna change it....."lol"!! Anyways.....thanks for your nice comment.....I really do appreciate it. :) |

I've adopted a blind English bulldog who I am helping see life through my eyes. My love,care and giving for animals brings so much joy to my life. My portrait is all about giving love from your heart.
firecracker (Jul 7, 2010)
"Wow"! What an awesome draw, and what a beautiful thing for you to do.....to adopt this gorgeous blind dog. I live with a blind dog.....she's a rottweiler named "Zelda", and she's my sister's dog. She's about 9 yrs old, and she's been blind for about a year or so now. She gets around really good, but she does bump her head a lot. My sister should teach her to carry a basket around as a buffer, like suntan said that her aunt taught her dog to do. Awesome draw!! :)
Teapot (Jul 10, 2010)
I've never met a blind dog. They rely so much on their sense of smell and hearing I guess it's not quite as bad if we go blind because our other senses are not as keen as a dog's. It's so lovely you are taking on the care of this sweetie. I LOVE English bulldogs...stubborn but so sweet-natured. I'm going to be caring for a dog with severe epilepsy for a couple of weeks. I'm a little nervous about it. Started fostering rescue dogs...have a beagle and a Maltese at the moment. My life just doesn't feel right without a dog (or six) in it.
montezmaria (Jul 10, 2010)
I'm sure you'll do just fine, Teapot. Yes, English bulldogs are very sweet dogs and have silly ways about them. The breed really touches me and I am in love with them. It is too bad they have so many health issues though. Alphie, the blind bullie I have is amazing at how well she does with her sense of smell and hearing. I swear at times she can see, but know she can't. Sad to say she use to see until neglect of her owners caused her to be blind, due to infections in her eyes untreated. She is a wonderful, loving girl and I love her to death. Wouldn't trade her for any other dog. I'd love to have six dogs myself, but I'll settle for two at a time.

Bless her little heart! What a great thing to do, Ree. |

Looks great! I thought the legs looked a bit skinny at first, but you fixed them. Good job on the horse hair!
elly (Jul 18, 2010)

You got the Bob Ross artist kit didn't ya? I was going to get it, but it was a bit pricey. Nice drawing. Really does look like a painting.
montezmaria (Aug 16, 2010)
Thank you all for the comments. Wraith, that is cute...Bob Ross kit. I remember watching him do his paintings, speaking so soft..drove me nuts.
Teapot (edited Aug 19, 2010)
Is he the guy that was always saying things like 'happy little cloud'? He drove me nuts, too. He and Mr. Rogers were kinda creepy. This is beautiful, Ree. The sky makes me feel sad, though, the way you do in that moment when you realize that summer is over. Or when you've just gotten your tent pitched for a 2-week holiday and you suddenly know it's going to rain for the entire time.

Ahhhhh....Cooled me off right away! Greets from Florida ... Meno :) |

First of all....I apologize for this pic being in the advance board....it's obviously not "advanced"....but I had no choice, because I needed a big board for this pic. I'm still not finished with this draw....there's a lot of "detail' stuff that I have to do yet......I know it's far from perfect, but I'm trying to figure it all out, I hope I can make it look better. I loved watching Cisco Kid on tv when i was a kid, and I love his horse. I know this doesn't look much like the Cisco Kid.....but I'm using a ref pic, and the ref pic doesn't look like Cisco either...."lolz"...If this needs to be moved to a "lesser' board....that's fine with me....:)
PAKS (Dec 15, 2009)
do you use a grafix tablet or a mouse
firecracker (Dec 16, 2009)
I draw with a mouse......I wish I had a tablet......I think my draws would turn out better if I used a tablet. I've been wanting to get a wacom intuous 3 tablet......but I haven't been able to get one yet. Thanks for commenting "PAKS".....I appreciate it. :)
YourBestFriend (Jan 7, 2010)
I love the feel of this. I like the textures, and the feeling of this buy and his horse being connected to the environment.
firecracker (Jan 7, 2010)
Thanks "yourbestfriend" for the nice comment.....I really appreciate it. I'm glad you like the pic....:) |

That's what they use to keep the holes stretched right?? I'm laughing reading this now, believe me, talking to her about butt plugs was the last thing on my mind. HAHA~ crazy people here. lol
