This looks like something from the surrealist period. Picasso like Klox. Could also be a violin if you look close.

Very impressionistic, for sure. I see all kinds of stuff here, too,

I wouldn't want to get in his way.

I have the impression of a sargeant yelling "Mess Time" , dunno why.. just do.

Squint your eyes and look at this.

It's metallic and 3D in the thumb, yet organic in life size. I like where you've been going.

Thanks guys. I think smoothing out some of the edges would improve this image, I'll try that on a future piece.

Damn. That is too deep Kloxboy. So your training your brain to collab with each Hemisphere? I predict that with more of this type of practice, we will start seeing drawings from you that will blow us away. ( Beyond what you have already drawn )

Thanks NR. Painting like this is certainly not all left brain, just particular aspects of it. In terms of being more left or right brained, there is more theory to back up that concept than anything else. Such theory is not meant to be applied too specifically, especially in regards to psychology. While each hemisphere serves a variety of different functions, you'll never meet someone who is just right brained or left brained, pending they're not missing half their brain. Even then, there is evidence that the brain can make up for missing or damaged areas by using other areas of the brain to take over the function of the missing section. Even more, the left brain can take over right brain functions or visa-versa when the brain is damaged. Overall, I believe it's a good -general- theory we're talking about here and there is some pretty good evidence to support certain conclusions derived from said theory. Just remember, it's not a fact and even if it was, it can't be applied to everyone. I'm trying to make this clear because a lot of people make too much of the hemisphere divisions, they go on to make their own theories based on popular theories, which of course, they also treat as fact. You know what happens when you assume? You make an ass out of yourself and leave me to tell you so. (I didn't mean that to apply to anyone, I was just making a joke).

I've played piano for several years, i usually pick up songs easily by matching the notes with my ear. Reading sheet music and understanding music theory? Not one of my strong suits. According to my piano teacher, understanding notes as they are on the page, and understanding how to read sheet music is a left brain task. Matching notes and understanding the sounds of the piano is a right brained task. So alot of my practice is designed to build my music reading skills, in order to help me to be a more well "rounded" pianist. I think this is a good exercise for the left side of the brain Klox.

*nods quietly in agreement*

I understand.

I feel like this quite a bit. it's very powerful.

wow.

Thanks guys. :)

Jill: To get the variety of brush strokes, I just layer my strokes at different opacities and sizes. Almost all the work I've done on 2Draw for the last 3-4 months has been done with the square brush, that seems to be the key player in making my bush strokes look more deliberate. Thanks for the kind words.

That is how I look like after work. Except with Jet Black Fade haircut. Awsome work as always Klox! :)

Klox -- thanks so much for the feedback, I went to wiki for a second and used your input for a peice I'm working on, it helped a lot, thanks again! Jillj

Hmmm.. Is this a Younger Caricature version of Sean Connery?

It's Orson "Welles Rob.. Famous for "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast and the movie Citizen Kane...

Here is the reference I drew from: Orson. I distorted it and added color.

I love this! Clean and crisp. Lovely colors too. :D

I see it! ^_^ This is very good. :3 I love the colors.

Uber Graffiti!
Nice one klox!

just imagine how bad things would have been if she had waited to show this side of herself. But like lori said...she did inspire some awesome art work here. You'll have better luck next time i'm sure.

There are so many wrong people out there. But I'm sure your right is round the corner (I know, I know, cliche')
You do good works from your guts. :)

Dating Satan. Not so lucky in love are you?

Thanks guys.

Sweetcell: Really? I was sooo going for "all those things." :P

Kind of reminds me of Rip Van Winkle when he woke up..only bald.lol Anyway, I really thinks it's cool. I am always fascinated by people who can do lineless art, I myself am unable to do so. Nice work.
