very good style!

very nice.

the colors in this are very Cooool.
niceee.

Draw us a jar full of them, please.

A coffee bean, I work my ass off for you flubbles, and all i get is one coffee bean!
I should get at least three or four.

Thats what a pimps job entails.

I am glad you like it. They republished the east of the sun and west of the moon about two(?) years ago in a really nice hardcover edition. :) I was so glad when i saw because while I had a book of his illustrations I really wanted to be able to read the stories that went along with all of his illustrations.

Very attractive style, those soothing colors are great.

It would be a great contest, draw from your favorite artist. In his or her style.

when i compare your piece with the original, the first thing that pops to my eyes is that the original looks like it was made with watercolors, while yours looks too smooth, there's hardly any texture.. i liked the texture you had going in the fifth version.
if you wanted to have texture like in the original painting, an easy (and quick!) way to do it, would be with a scatter brush (choose a high scatter count and you can maybe crank up the spacing too) on a separate layer. that way you can easily erase the eventual wayward dots from unwanted areas, and you can also play around with the blend mode and opacity (make it subtle)

..hmm, another thing that i noticed was that the original was much more sharper (darker and thinner lines).. i suck at line art so i'll not gonna try to give you any advice on that. You would only get worse if i tried to teach you line art :P

love it, beautiful work...and indeed the reflection on the floor looks great!

so colorful! awesome draw suntan :)

Thanks very much you guys. :)

this guy needs a tissue

this reminds me of a Dr.Seus character

:)

yeah, and probably from a pea shooter ;)

This guy reminds me of some guy who played in an old tv series.....I can't remember what the name of the show was, but it was a cop show, and this guy played a cop.....I think I do remember what show it was......it was called "The Streets of San Francisco".....and the guy I'm thinking of is Karl Malden.....he has that same kind of nose that the guy in this draw has...."lol".....cool draw....:)

thanks :)

Lol, looking out of the windows, or just reading nice books instead of studying :D. Setting the alarm really early because you had to turn in an assignment, you had only known for 4 weeks about.

haha, thank you everyone!
Well, I'm gonna be pulling an all-nighter to finish my essay tonight, as I was procrastinating all of yesterday. XD
And waking up super early to do the other homework due tomorrow that I didn't do. lol. and then going to bed early and sleeping until 'till noon for Thursday. XD

I'm wishing my studio was empty so I can clean it out..lol So much to do and so lazy to do it.

hahaha^

I like this pic too.....very good!!! :)

Cheers guys... I can't find a direct link to the ref but it's a dog with the side of its face pressed to the ground. Plus, I can't stress enough how inspiring some of these tumblr blogs are... if you are ever in need of something new to draw...
