Thank you Sketcher, you certainly made my night. I have been pretty lazy on drawing lately...I really need to get back into the swing of things and I am definetly out of practice. I really try to put my all into my drawing but sometimes my all isn't good enough.

you must not worry about that, the safest and best way in my opinion to learn is by basing yourself on some pictures or painting. Althought you gotta do what you really like in order to keep the passion awake. Once youve got the enough pics in your head, having copied them, you can then draw basing yourself on your overall knowledge. Of course youll always forget things, but thats why its important to never stop drawing if you want to make a living for it :P other than than , if you ever forget too much stuff, a lil observation piece should get you back on the road. Although i dont think you need these advices since you already seem to have a strong eye for observation

this is very pretty.

Such expression on his face! This is wonderful, Kute.

Thank you Hunterkiller, dave, lori and momma! To me it still looks unfinished. But this was for me, sort of like the portrait was for Dave. It scared the crap out of me to try it seeing how some other artists can make fur so lifelike. I knew I was not going to be able to succeed in that, but DONE is what I am here. I don't have to guts to even try to fix this or work on it anymore. I guess that is why my stuff never really looks too finished, cause I am a coward. LOL

really nice job on this Kute!

Thank you Sir Dave! She is my fav. subject to draw. I really would have loved to have added some more details and kind of fixed her right eye (our left) a little more but beggers can't be choosey in my case. I was so grateful for getting just the space to get it to this point I wasn't going to hang myself and ask for more. I just have to learn to use my space better somehow. Gonna miss you at the other place! :(

For something this sweet, you shouldn't hessitate to ask for more space. Gosh, I've asked for an upsizings on much less than this :D

ADORABLE! I love her skin tones, you captured the 'babyness' so nicely!

That's a cute little guy there. Good fluffiness of the plants.

nice composition!

very pretty, I love to draw the birds and this is beautiful love the background coloring, nice compliment to the bird. I have tons of ref pic for birds if ever you wish to browse my photbucket account let me know.

It looks like a girl but very nice!

not advanced

Please move it if you would like. I am not an expert at this stuff. :-(

not if it's 24k

The look on the birds face is priceless. Also, it all looks like it was done with watercolor. I like it :D

Thanks for the comments, it is a big encourgement for me to keep trying. I have a hard time with the applets after not being here in such along time, but I will get back to where I was and much better. I have my mind set on it. What really heps me in comments like yours and pointers. Thanks again. Happy Easter to both of you also.

love the colors! very nice!!

Thanks for all of the sweet comments on this one. I prefer Lascaux also but I wanted to try shi and it is like over at the other place and that is the only reason I submitted a small drawing here. I just wanted to check out the programs a little more.

Sweetcell we draw at rate my drawing and at Ginkgo. There are a couple of other places I draw too but not a lot lately. I just recently came back to 2draw after being gone for months.

But thanks again, elly, Sweetcell, Pantera and Miss DJ!
