Please help! I can't save my picture (in Shi-Painter).

alwaysLearning (Mar 9, 2004)

I can't seem to get my latest painting to submit, and I'd like to know if there's anything I can do to solve the problem. I'm using Shi-Painter, and when I try to "Upload" my drawing, I keep getting a series of three message boxes. The first asks me the usual question "Are you done with your picture? Click Yes to submit your picture.", with the usual "Yes/No" buttons. When I click "Yes", then I get a confirmation box, which suddenly blips away before I can even see it. Where it was, ...

I figured if you're gonna use Flash the parts that make up the subject should be simple and separate. The eyes, the hands, the mouth. He travels by simply sliding around on his little plastic pen tip leaving lines in his path to keep mobility simple. Just an idea. Of course in Flash the edges would be much smoother.

This is one of the best laugh attacks I've ever had... in fact, it's what finally tempted me to visit the Theme Board! :) I can't say it's the mascot I like best, but it IS in the top 2, I think. <smile> <LOL>

Dangling conversation

Axil62 (Mar 4, 2004)

"It's a still life watercolor of a now late afternoon, as the sun shines through the curtain lace and shadows wash the room. And we sit and drink our coffee, couched in our indifference like shells upon a shore you can hear the ocean roar in the dangling conversation, and the superficial sighs, the boarders of our lives. And you read your Emily Dickinson and I my Robert Frost and we note our place with book markers that measure what weve lost...." Simon and Garfunkle

One of my all-time favourite songs, Axil - and you did it justice. The final version really captures the feelings of "the shadows wash the room", in a way that the earlier versions didn't, leaving the image more disconnected from the song. This brings them back into a connected whole, as a picture and its description should be, IMHO. :) The only flaw is not in the image or its execution, but in the connection between it and the song - because she doesn't look "couched in indifference", but instead intently focused. No insult intended, though -- the piece is gorgeous, regardless.

dont know how i missed it, but oh man, it rocks dba. the shadow of the tree is amazing. awesome work as usual.

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Mar 6, 2004)

Thanks yall. :)

alwaysLearning (Mar 13, 2004)

Oooh, more pictures of the home of my heart! You have a real gift for rendering this kind of scene, Cindy! :) There are two points that I have to question, though, for future reference (again, not that I could do this myself, but I can tell that these two points don't look quite right -- my eye being better at this than my hands, as yet, at least).

First, the ripples in the dry wash of the path seem to me to be too consistently angled, instead of following the curves of the path, the way I'd expect them to, if they were caused by water running over the mud during flood time (which is what I think of when I see that kind of image). They'd make more sense if there were a way for the water to have acted on the land outside of the path, the same way, but with the wall there, I'd expect the water to be restricted to the path more, and curve to follow it, during flash floods.

Second, the tufts of greenery on the bush don't seem to have a correlary set of darker areas, within the shadow of the bush, so it looks to me like the shadow is of a bush that doesn't have as much foliage on it as this one does.

These are both fairly minor points though, which I offer only in order to point out directions in which you can continue to work on advancing your work, which is already spectacular, and VERY evocative of the landscapes you've been painting. <smile> As you may be able to tell, what I've seen so far has been enough to spur me to go back through the pictures in your user board, in order to see more of these pieces! <grin> But even great artists can still grow, and I hope I've offered some useful suggestions for your consideration, here. :)

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Mar 13, 2004)

sure, always, I appreciate all the helpful suggestions. (Actually, it doesn't rain often where this was taken from and it's very windy, so I assume the ripples were caused by the wind since the sand changes rapidly - although the rain does a number on this wash when it does happen)

Drippy - the Crazy Little Paintbrush

craptastic_spaztic (Mar 3, 2004)

Took forever to come up with a design for a mascot.... thats why the over an hour duration. Finally just threw down this little guy. Still not happy the way it turned out. No references.

HAH! looka likea me when i'm confused.

alwaysLearning (Mar 11, 2004)

This little guy is adorable! He still isn't my favourite mascot, but he was well worth browsing back this far into the boards, to see! <smile> You have quite a gift for creating expressive features; my only issue with this piece is that I'd like to see the lines a bit smoother -- but apart from that, for what he is, he's great! :)

*votes* i love him! hes so cute!

This is wonderful! Glass is so hard to draw, because very clean glass can be more like a play of light (like wateR) than an actualy object, when drawing, even with refereance, this is a fantastic job!

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Mar 3, 2004)

You did a great job on the glass - doing any glass at all for me is a nightmare! This is wonderful.

frappa (Mar 10, 2004)

really amazing glass!!

alwaysLearning (Mar 14, 2004)

Eep! If you're posting on the beginner boards, maybe I should just take my tools and shuffle off... <sigh> No, seriously, this is stunning, and I wish I knew how you had mastered drawing glass so believably. <smile> The background is wonderful, though the one thing that seems to detract from it slightly is the lace(?) runner on the chest of drawers - it seems to be done in a different style from the rest of the piece. Regardless, the piece is gorgeous, and makes me glad I decided to browse your user board -- I'm really enjoying seeing more of your work.
