Hi "Carmine", and "MissDJ", and "Gillie", and "Pantera"......thank you all for your nice comments.....I really do appreciate it. "Carmine and "Gillie".......any advice on how to use layers is appreciated......I'm going to try to experiment with using them on my next draw. It's too late to use them with this draw. "Gillie"....you make it sound so easy to use the layers.....I wonder why I have so much trouble when I try using them. I tried using layers at "Floatingginkgo" (Starzshine tried explaining it to me)......she explained it very well, but it wouldn't work for me. I don't understand why it doesn't work for me, but it works for everyone else..."lol"! I think I'm "jinxed"!! Anyways.....I'm gonna start to experiment with them, and see what happens. Thanks again for all your comments and advice....I really appreciate it. "HAPPY EASTER" to you ALL!! :)

Fabulous! :)

Great finish!
edit:
I had to add more, lol. I really can't believe all the detail you put into this, because, seriously, if I tried to do that, I would kill myself. Detail is not my forte, lol.

This really grabbed my eye with all those colors and interesting details...I found myself studying every little nook and cranny! This deserves to be framed! (I'd gladly store it here on my wall for you too =)

Lately you see more and more (kids) posting on the wrong boards. Perhaps it is an idea to get the rules for drawing on which board on the front page. Or maybe there should come more mods.

I still think this man looks like George Burns when he was younger. He always had these kinds of "stogies" in his mouth. :)

DMV (Apr 5, 2009)

you have mastered chibipaint,, (the finger by the mouth needs to have more detail where the joints are)

montezmaria (Apr 5, 2009)

Thanks everyone. I have no clue who this is. Dmv, yep now that you mention that I'm agreeing. The hand still needs work and I'll get to it when I'm more in the mood. Thanks : )

nice picture can't afford therapy, I live in Oregon; it's normal to be mentally off here. nice. (did you know mental illness is described as "not being in the behavior rules of the society"? leaves the door wide open.) Like that movie, "Never Let Me Go."

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Apr 3, 2011)

I've been meaning to comment on this since I saw it some time after you first posted it, didn't do it just then and since have been too lazy to go looking for it when I was here, which isn't often anymore. Just now as it came up in the Showcase thumbnail strip I realized if I didn't do it now, I might never. You know I've always hated you because I'm so jealous of your talent, and loved you because you're so very real, which is rare. (and because you always inspired me to strive to do better)
This, I believe, is one of your best paintings, because as a self-portrait I see in that expression the Staci I think I've come to know and love/hate here. ;) Along with being absolutely perfect realism, you've done the impossible "capture the expression" thing... something that almost NEVER happens in a portrait. There's depth in those eyes, something fascinating behind them. Some people see that in the Mona Lisa and say that's why it's so upheld. (One major difference there is that I think she's ugly and you're beautiful, so... ONEUP on that one for sure... hah)

I've looked at this a lot of times and been blown away every time. I just now realized what I like about it most, the way you slightly exaggerated the things a camera does when the shot is a little overexposed and the flash is causing it. How the light shows the details in the skin in a way normal vision would never pick up on. And the corona of color around the iris. And the way the hues of the skin tones are uniformly off. It's a great painting of a 'bad' photograph. That and the killer cupid's bow mouth.

staci (Jun 23, 2012)

yes! you totally get it. this is a HORRIBLE picture, horrible. Bags, blotchy skin and all. if I had a zit that day I would have drawn it in as well. thanks!
