I'm unsure if this issue has been addressed. Do you think that it is fair to congratulate, and perhaps even put a drawing into the showcase, if the artist copies an image exactly? I can imagine how wonderfully some people do copy images. It looks exact, and very sharp. But alas, it is still copied. It is almost like plagarism. There was no originality, not even changes, to some images. And while others slave away at creative drawings, with unique designs and skills, and receive little praise,...

It's a Twilight Zone picture. Interesting idea Audrey, and I like the painty feel of this.

Although I don't understand it, I like it.

This reminds me of some of the old style of painting they did, where the faces weren't painted and everything else was very simplistic, I love this. You did a great job on this.

Wonderful silhouette, Anna. I heard an owl down by the river last night but couldn't spot it.

Pencil toot-orial

TheCrimsonKing (Mar 28, 2005)

This is for those who had asked me how to achieve pencil quality sketches. Keep in mind this is easiest to do if you have a pen tablet..if not, good luck.

The basic idea is just to go over and over the lines.
Make sure the size of the brush is "1px"
If you want lighter lines change the opacity to 230-235, but I recommend keeping it at the default 241.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for sharing Crimson, I kind of had an idea of how you were doing all of those amazing sketches. I really really like your style, even though I have failed to comment on most of your drawings. I promise to comment in the future, it isn�t nice of me to keep my comments of your drawings to myself : ]

Will redo this description. I felt left out on cyclops week, but I needed to get my head space back to get this idea out. I figured you all should get to see it before I finish. I hope you will like it.
