hey i was doing the twist last night at my mom and stepdad's reception last night :D..but seriously cool picture :) i like those cars it looks like the pic is set in the fifties (they did the twist back then right?)

Well, yeah, actually this is kind of early sixties I guess. They were twisting then and twisting again in the 60's. I was born in the mid 60's so alot of these cars were still driving around when I was little and I have always loved them. :)

this is my favorite of your most recent art. That looks just like the neighborhood I lived in until I turned 3. We go back there sometimes and it still looks like this, only without the classic cars. Never got a tornado but my dad burned up the back yard accidently once. Ahhh, reminiscing about the good old days... I can still feel the ashes burning my eyes.

Lori... don't be so hard on yourself.. if you think something is impossible of course it'll overwhelm you everytime you try to face it. Fur is something that is really hard to do. Imagine, the Gerbil and Rabbit on the blockbuster commercials took over one million single strand hairs on each one to make them look real. In that respect none of these pictures can look "just LIKE" the photo. If you set impossible goals for how you want your picture to turn out you'll always be disappointed. I think you should be proud. It's a very nice picture of a squirrel. The contrast would come along nicely if only you set high, but realistic, goals for how you want it to turn out. Art is supposed to be a release from life and troubles and turmoil, not create it. Don't stress over a picture.. just relax, you're great :-D

LovelyLori (May 5, 2004)

this is as done as it's getting, I've already gotten extra space once.... thanks Aubrey, such nice words... I've always been a perfectionist, and get real irritated when something doesn't turn out how I want it to.... this little guy would've been better had I taken a different approach from the beginning, but oh well.... lately, I just feel like playing on here, doing things from my mind rather than a reference... and you wouldn't believe how many pics I've deleted recently! lol

DeadlyBlondeArcher (May 5, 2004)

I think he turned out quite nicely, Lori, and I totally understand the perfectionist frustration thing. I have been doing the same thing lately... working on stuff and then just deleting it. One of the first paintings I ever did in real oils I got so mad that I painted a huge black x on it and threw it on the floor. It felt wonderful. (But I was like 8 years old lol) I got in alot of trouble, though. :) And the next day I told my art teacher she was ugly and fat (well... she was, and she was mean to me, too) Sometimes you just have to let it go and do exactly that, draw and paint things that you like just because you like them, and don't worry about if anyone else is going to like it or not. Some of your best stuff will come out like that. Right now I am working on the weirdest picture I never thought I'd do.... just because it's a combination of some of my favorite stuff. Even if it doesn't turn out perfect I'm going to post it and be happy. You should be proud of your squirrel... he looks fat and happy to me. :)

LovelyLori (May 8, 2004)

thanks dba.. well put.... I hate getting so frustrated, and I try to tell myself not to give a damn about it... but it's kinda hard on this site, I want things to look just so for all who view it.....

It's pretty much done.I might fix his chin sometime since that kinda bugs me, but other than that I guess it's alright.Sorry about some of the sharpness in the shading.I didn't have control over that since it just happens when being submitted for some reason^^;.Well, here it is and hope you enjoy it...if you guys want the reference pic, I'll try to put a link to it.

good question... but, I do kinda agree, that it's not totally worthy of advanced...

Gigandas (Apr 12, 2004)

How the heck does my stuff like my last one stay on advanced compared to this???I don't get it^^;.....Marcello should move my stuff down too if that's the case...

LovelyLori (Apr 12, 2004)

he pretends not to like me, but I know he does ;) lol

Wraith (Apr 16, 2004)

Very nice! I am not really a bird lover, I like squirrels better because I think I was a squirrel in my former life. But this one drawing is amazing! Great job LovelyLori. :D

I don't know what to do the background, that is always a major prob for me... I'd like to make some hint of foliage, blurred .... but damned if I know the best technique for that...and I should've done it in the beginning!

I love your boidie. The butt crack, on the other hand, well, let's just say...I now can't get it out of my mind...lol.

Gigandas (Apr 16, 2004)

It's finished XD.I really like the bird's features^^.Something about the wings makes it look incomplete though.....it could be that there's too much of a solid area on its wings and it clashes with the detailed texture of its body.But the body itself is really well done.The night sky goes well with it too.Another awesome piece :)...

craptastic_spaztic (Apr 16, 2004)

WOW! Much impressed. Big thumbs up.

Aubrey (Apr 23, 2004)

Very cute Lori, you draw birds really well.
