It's very nice. You have a wonderful coloring style. I bet it will look awesome when finished.

This is good looking work so far. The hair looks terrific

WOW! Amazing first draw! Very cool. Very cool. :)

Its not just a "bunch of circles." No one person can say what isn't art and what is. I did spend a lot of time on this. These time counters are messed up. I spent over an hour on the second picture i submitted and it says it was 19 sec. I was going for something abstract. Some people just paint their canvases a bunch of different shades of one color, and that is art.

Next time you think of calling one of my pictures a "bunch of circles", think again. Just because it doesn't have people in it or a landscape of some kind doesn't mean that its not art.

Well, seeing as it does consist of only a bunch of coloured circles, I'd say it'd be pretty fair to call it that.

I don't think that paint splashed on a canvas is art, and I don't really think a few colored circles is art. Sorry, but that's just opinion.

But here's a tip for you if you want to be an artist: The artist is evaluated on their richness in what they create.

When you go to a mueseum, nobody is amazed or interested in a bunch of circles--they go for the things that are very deep, almost magnetic, like a person painted with a breathtaking backdrop, or an object they relate to being twisted into a surrealistic piece. Those guys who buy a paint-splashed picture for 12 million bucks... I don't think they truly understand what art is. They just want to say they do, and hang a pricey image on their wall.

Even Picasso, using circles and shapes and whatnot, managed to take it and intergrate an image like a nude woman or little boy. So be artistic in your abstract--create a strong visual feast that makes us want to stop and just... stare at it.

Sorry if that bugged you. I just wanted to say it. I don't want to start any debates or fights over what is and isn't art, because in the end, it would only be two sides repeating over and over that they have certain opinions. Nothing would really change in anyone's mind, I think. :)

Good luck in whatever you do.

I can;t wait to see this finished, it's looking fantastic so far.

Holy Shiza! This is looking awesome! Where can I get a copy of this? :D

Why is everybody so good at this opposite hand thing? D:

davinci - I did this /righty/.

punky - Because a handful of us try silly things like drawing with our feet, without seeing, with both hands at the same time, whatever. :D Don't feel too bad. That just shows those who can either a) can write naturally with both hands or b.) have no life.

haha... no I'm nots... thanks for nissin me though :) I've been doin fine,lol

We did niss you Stufani, we did. I like how the black breaks up the green. Almost like there are bats or something behind her. Or her shadow has power and seperates from her. Did that make sense?

yes it did, no, I actually did it to try a cool effect, but oh well.... plus it hides the crappy lineart, lol.

Okej ^^

For lineart on Oekaki I like to use the airbrush, med thick lines, then coming back with the soft erasure on med flow and shaving the lines down, takes longer but the lines are clean and smooth, plus you get a difference in thickness. Some people like to use the watercolor tool. If I attempt (and that's a challenge for me) solid shading I'll use the pen with the size at 2. Any thicker and it would be, well too thick :D Maybe size 1 for more detail but the only time I use the pencil is to sketch. Pencil just makes too ragged lines. Hope that helps Elfen. Experiment to find what works best for you.

This piece is nice, but there's just too much white. If you put in the rest of her body and do a different color bg it would look more finished.

It helps me very much thank you Sweetcell.

THE PICTURE CHANGED RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES!!
i went from one they posted to the other and it morphed...
dear god that's great!!

Holy crap, I didn't even see the face until you guys mentioned it, it kept looking like the face grabbing picture to me. It keeps changing in front of my eyes now. That's pretty trippy.

Dude, this is so fantastic. You are fantastic.

All of you are doing better than I did. I tried to do it, and I had like zero control . The cursor was flying all over the place

Favorite! It looks just like photo!

Oh, if you want to know my pictures collection, just visit in http://ringside-photos.net

Agreed with Punky, awesome job on the lighting and the rain. This is Intermediate quality.
When you click from version 1 through 3 the rain seems to be getting harsher. Fun.

And if you click through all versions, it looks like there's a flash of lightning going by.
