great picture,cause it seems so offhand,like it was easily,casually thrown together,but actually has great skill,and I love that style;purple,to me,I have thousands of colors in my monitor spectrum(put in at the factory,for art)but purple is a passionate color,and this little heart tells me,"is this a valentine for someone?"whatever it is,it's cool.

I think the rest of it is beautiful, i was just saying that the hut could look a little better.

Suntan (Feb 9, 2010)

thanks guys for the comments :D
Suntan - heh, its just luck that i joined here :D i was fed up with OekakiCentral and wanted to try some other oekaki site. i found this other oekaki site where i sent my registration application, but while waiting for my confirmation email, i found this site and i didn't need to wait for any administrator to begin drawing oekakis :D and also this site looks to be more active than the other one, so, yay!
Bobstained - ah you meant that. heh, the hut does look does look a bit rubbish, doesn't it, but then to my eye so does the horizon line too. I meant to just do a quick 20-30 minute landscape study, and then i ended so frustrated with getting the sea to look even halfway decent.. and as for the hut, thats my second try to draw the hut and it still looks like that... for my excuse i can say that i didn't understand the form of the hut from looking at the reference picture... it just looked to me like a haphazard bunch of sticks, so thats how it pretty much ended...
and besides guys, i made this in the beginner section, im sure this will be lost quickly enough in the flood of other posts that are made in this section. When i post in the intermediate or advanced boards i will take more time to draw.

everybody else, sorry for not replying, but im really slow at writing stuff and i really need to go back to drawing (or should i say painting?) this nude in the advanced board. It will be awesome! :D

I love those cars!

firecracker (Feb 8, 2010)

These cars remind me of the little toy cars that my brother and I would play with when we were little kids....

did you use a reference photo for this or was this from your window? cause if you did use a photo, it would be easier to give constructive comments to you if we could see it... but im gonna try anyway. just keep in mind that im not that good at drawing environments myself, so take anything i say with a grain of salt, so to speak :P
Here i go... What i would like to see is some more depth separating the objects. Especially the upper part of the trees from the background. Now they look pretty flat, but if you maybe darkened the street at the upper area of the image the trees would pop out a bit more. Or you could use a sharper brush to paint the leafs around the upper edges of the trees. Or you could instead add some more details at the street at the upper part of the image.
Also i think the street would look a bit more like it was raining if you added some small bright dots here and there on the street, but don't over do it, just a few bright spots.

I love the colors in this. It makes me think of a famous artists work, but I don't know who.

Thank you, bmw. This is from so long ago, I had forgotten to look at until starsh came in. I did this about the time I started drawing here for one of Clox's contests. (wish you would do them again, Clox)..anyway, glad you like it, it's one of my most comfortable ways of doodling. :)

one day I was shopping and heard thunder the same time I saw lightning and thought boy that was close, when I got home my husband and 3 kids had that same look on their faces, they had been placing a metal ladder against the house when the lightning struck the roof and ladder. they let go just in time

Suntan (Feb 7, 2010)

I was rinsing a fork off during a storm and a ball of lightning..that's the only way I can explain it because it was round, came through the window and stopped at the sink. I had a few friends with me, so I wasn't the only one who saw it.. Clap of thunder, the ball of lightning, and gone. It was freaky and very scary so I can imagine your husband and kids.

lynnandcharlie (Feb 7, 2010)

that sounds scary as well
