fantastic. i'm sure you could work from setups, too, the real objects.-- if you don't already. (why are there all these great artists here, after most my drawing career is almost over? i have done scratchboards similar to this, & you have to use photo reference cause scratchboard is so detailed. it's an old medium, but you would be good at it, yer work is so perfect. i love this.

Yes, it's coming from a photo, I wrote it somewhere in previous messages.
Human brain can't elaborate all minimal light/ghadows variation of the reality, we can't always recognize where we should use white in shadow or grey in light. Human brain it's able to understand what is Blue (just for example), also if red enlighted, but if this light it's strong, you can simulate it in a draw, if it's light, mixed ti shadow variations and other ambient color minilam reflections, you can't!
In a Photo there is not he same color in two different zones, also if there is the same material/object/paint and light!
To do that work, we need a reference pic. At least up to today I can't really think some one do it without a Photo reference.
And again, thenks to all!

Looks like young Sam Elliot...for some reason I thought you'd been here longer.

Pileofcrap (Dec 31, 2010)

Sadly I missed out on the early years of 2draw. I got told about the site a couple of years before I joined, but a couple of people told me that the people here were all assholes, so I never bothered to join. Just goes to show you cant listen to other peoples opinions, you have to decide for yourself. I got told Axil was an asshole aswell, but I'd have to say he's one of the reasons why I still come here.

backmagicwoman (Dec 31, 2010)

I found out from someone at TigernTigress oekaki...I had never heard of 2draw before..when I first got here people were nice for the most part, nothing any worse than I got anywhere else...This is a good place, and I'll continue to stay here for as long as I can...

Suntan (Aug 2, 2011)

I was told the same thing as Pile...but when he and Royje were here I felt braver. lol silly me. ;p Time to draw again, Pile. You've been too quiet and it's been too long. Say yes, please. :)

My eye ALWAYS stops on this draw when I happen past it! The colors are so soothing and has a victorian feel to it for me. I just LOVE this piece!

Specialty Boards/Contest!

Gigantoise, Eater of Trees

Shanghai (Apr 8, 2008)

So imagine it's like an adventure/rpg where the bosses are things like a giant monster crab, or, in this case, a monster turtle with only one weak point that you have to hit when it reaches a certain point of its attack pattern.

I haven't put anything in a contest for a long time, so I thought I'd do one for this week, but if sweetcell doesn't want to include it in the judging that's fine too.

Wonderful!!

backmagicwoman (Mar 20, 2011)

''See the TURTLE of enormous girth!
On his shell he holds the earth.
His thought is slow but always kind..
He holds us all within his mind.
On his back all vows are made..
He sees the truth but mayn't aid.
He loves the land and loves the sea,
And even loves a child like me.''

dorothyblueeyes (Mar 27, 2011)

WHAT CONTEST? i've been watching for one,looking, nver see them. screw it.

"I don't wanna phone you, I don't wanna touch,
I don't wanna see you 'cause I don't miss you that much."

No Action

"Don't say you love me when it's just a rumour.
Don't say a word if there is any doubt.
Sometimes I think that love is, just a tumour;
You've got to... cut it out."

Lipstick Vogue

"No don't ask me to apologise. I won't ask you to forgive me.
If I'm gonna go down, you're gonna come with me."

Currently obsessed with this album...
