very nice pencils.....I have a set of colored pencils, and I never used them.....in fact I have a lot of great art supplies and pastel paints and pencils, art paper, etc.....and I never try using any of that stuff.....I guess I just got "caught up" in drawing online, that I don't make time to learn anything else....what a shame....I should try to find time to draw and paint "offline", as well as "online". I should make time for both....."lol"! Anyways.....nice draw!! :)

Yea, painting is a lot of fun ofline too, theirs a lot you can do... If you take a thicker piece of paper... doesnt have to be canvas, draw rainbows (awesome with oil pastels or you can do it in paint) going in all different directions then paint over all of it with black, silver, or white, then you take a plastic fork and scrape it across the wet paint (try to paint thick or else it wont look as awesome) in parallel or wavy or zigzag or criscross patterns...try using variation. it looks really cool, Also try to use this technique for a background of a painting...It looks sweet!

I remember scratch art! It is fun and always interesting to see what appears =) They actually sell unscratched scratch art dye cuts like xmas ornaments, easter eggs, etc...usually covered in black. but I once found blue snow flakes that were shinny silver when you scratched the blue off. VERY cool!
LOL! Ok! Your pencils! Great job!! I SO remember the feeling I got when I finally created a more 'realistic' piece! It's all the motivation you need to strive to get even better! You are WELL on your way! Congrats!!

That is one HUGE pool! Great draw, I love it!

thanks! I'd love to swim in it!

Most of my family lives in Pheonix AZ. They keep telling me to go visit, since they are always visiting us. They say Pheonix is a very pretty place. But very hot during day. I want to jump into this pool, only if u jump in it with me. I'm shy.

I like that Marble effect.

WOW, what amazing colours! You have a brilliant style! Great job!

thank you Suntan and lynx3!

Lovely colours!

The Thumbnail looks really great!

I was going to do some more to this but I needed the room.

Very very nice.....I like this a lot!! :)

Lovely :D Great theme ;)

come here and let me kiss you on the cheek. ♥

*smack*

awesome draw!!! :)

Um..how do you think I was finally accepted...;)

I see that I have created much grief and I hope all of you will accept my apology .I have stained the board with art that was not suitable to make the grade.and I am very sorry. However,I am in agreement with my friend Flubbles.As I have stated this is just recreational to me and I do have a life.This was just part of it. As for Lynnand Charlie I am very fond of your work.And it would please me if you continue to make us all entertained by staying and doing more of your brilliance. As for Maiko I knew you not .And now that I do know your authority .Forgive my "sloppy work". I hope to see more newcomers do great things.That's what makes this website so great!

Hmmm. Yeah. I know what Maiko is talking about. I don't spend too much time on my drawings, and so, I am still using the beginner board. I want to try intermediate soon, but I am planning on spending some quality time ( I think I have a few intermediate drawings in gallery not sure ). I think if you really want to post in advanced, you have to look at drawings from Flubbles and Jekyll's collabs. Or just thier own drawings alone. A simple drawing should always be in beginners. Even great artists of this website I am sure post in beginners when they draw something simple.

Aside from that, I think this is a great beginners piece! Like the gold/bronze look of the hour glass.

I used to look at tools as a kid, and think they were amazing to look at. Now I see this and Damn! Jekyll u are inspiring me alot! Thanks for your amazing talent!

Thank you, Wraith. I am still amazed by tools.I think they make them look good so people will get excited about working with them. I think this is how art works too. We create to excite others into creating. I'm glad you found this inspiring, Wraith.

wth O.O

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...

Good looking drawing

will be nice to see more of your work

Pretty good! You are an advanced beginner in my opinion.
