Thanks! Although that you risk to make something that doesn't "look good", there is also a high risk to learn something new and get inspiration for further work.
In my eyes it's all about skill and making mistakes.
When I paint, then I try do implement some elements that I already mastered (being able to do them intentionally), and as I paint there occur some unintended mistakes. Some of them look interesting and others do not.
So I try to follow those new elements and try to understand what makes them so interesting. And if I don't make mistakes, I force them to happen by drawing intentionally not correct.
It is a lot of fun, but you should not try to many different things at once. Keep it simple and try to put some time into this new thing.

Making too many mistakes at once (well, you/me already do infinite unintended movements at any moment) makes your work seem pretty random.
And this is what I do wrong...I do not develop enough skill in every style.
I do not draw enough to handle them all.

EDIT: Is it just me, or can others also not see most images on 2draw?

Kloxboy (Nov 7, 2006)

I totally agree. I let my imagination and skill collaborate as much as possible, and I'm all about happy mistakes sometimes. I like your system.

And yes, every other day, it seems a good third of the images don't load properly. Might be our browsers though, not sure. oO

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man

Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this
It will help you some sunny day.
Take your time... Don't live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman and you'll find love,
And don't forget son,
There is someone up above.

And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Won't you do this for me son,
If you can?

Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself.
Follow you heart and nothing else.
And you can do this if you try.
All I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

Great Drawing! So this song was sung by Lynyrd eh? Awesome! The Deftones have a version of this song and I used it to make a home video of my dad playing around with nephew when he was about 5yrs old. My dad passed away from Lung Cancer, so I thought this was the perfect song for it. I made my family cry because when they watched it, they could not believe how sad the song was in correlation with the video.

neat little icon

Kloxboy (Nov 5, 2006)

Noremac: This design is over 3 years old but yes, it's different than the majority of my work on 2Draw. I use the original "leafhead" design for my MSN icon, which I've made into many different colors, including orange & black for Halloween. :)

This would be a great logo for a clean environment organization.. nice work mr Clox

Im not telling you what you should draw. you can draw 100 more of these if you want, Im just saying personally I'd like to see you mix it up a bit more.

Kloxboy (Nov 3, 2006)

No worries hideyourface, you just gave me an opportunity to explain myself, so I took it. ;) You're right though, although I'm just doodling, it wouldn't be too hard to change up my subject matter once in a while.

Kinda reminds of the Mona Lisa... o.0
