firecracker (Aug 8, 2010)
I'm having all kinds of problems with this draw.....I can't get the "clarity" that I want.....it looks cloudy or something to me....I dunno what's wrong. I might end up deleting it, and drawing something else. I never did an all black and white draw before.....I'm so used to using colors. Oh well.....a first time for everything. Any suggestions and/or criticism would be welcomed.....I need help!!! "lol"!! :) There isn't any more that I can add to this pic, so I'm posting it as "finished".....if I keep "messing" with it......I'll just screw it up....."lol"!! I can always add some finishing touches to it later on.....

I like your drawing because it's less tom cruise-y than the Lestat in the movie. This fits more with my mental image of him from the books. I don't particularly like the texture on the building, but that seems more of a trademark for your work, so I respect it in that way. Over all, nice job on this piece. :)

Thanks very much for commenting "artsy".....I appreciate it. You're right.....this draw is less tom cruise-y than the Lestat in the movie. I never did read the book.....but I loved the movie. Using the texture tool is a habit that I have....I can't seem to finish a draw unless I add some texture somewhere...."lol" Yes....I agree....I think the building would look better without the texture, but I'm not gonna change it now....I'll just "mess" things up if I start messing around with it...."lol". I'm glad you like the pic though....Thanks!! :)

what if you used the sharpen tool on this to get the effect you seem to desire?
firecracker (Oct 29, 2011)
Hi Lori.....I think you can only use the sharpen tool in lascaux .....I don't think chibi paint has it. I haven't been to chibi paint in awhile....I'll have to check there to see if they added a sharpen tool since I've been gone. I love using the sharpen tool....it gives you great effects.....I wish chibi paint would get it. :)

"Surely just having the ability to conceive of a higher authority as a possiblility would constitute a half belief."

I can imagine a pink monkey driving a cement truck around Jupiter. I must "half believe" in that idea, right? No, I don't.

If we're talking about a belief system (multiple beliefs, not just one), you can believe in certain aspects of that system, while dismissing others, figuratively speaking that could be called "partial belief" or having "weak belief" or "weak faith", what have you. But that's in regards to a whole system of beliefs, not a single belief.

If you're talking about a single belief, you either believe it or you don't.

"Any theory or fantasy relies on the same commitment to neither side, that the truth could be one way or another."

Not knowing something (an unknown) is not equal to"half believing" in it e.g. I don't "half believe" in everything I don't know. Theory is a linear process, a process which is contingent on knowns, not unknowns. It's what we know that allows us to make theories, to fantasize, to hope, etc., not "half beliefs" or unknowns.

@enigma - The show you were watching, was it "Shameless"? I'm looking forward to the Showtime remake of the British series.

An agnostic is not committed to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of God or a god. They are not half-believers or riding the fence, they simply do not believe in anything without physical proof.

In either case, I dig this picture, was it referenced or created?
enigma (Nov 8, 2010)
Yeah, it was shameless, and I'm not looking forward to the remake at all, I believe it should have stayed British.

Also, the drawing was mostly referenced, then tweaked a little.

The feeling you have when you're afraid that the one thing you love most in your life may be slipping away and no matter how hard you fight to keep it, maybe you just can't win.

American flag accuracy fail.

Also, I did this one because I myself am American, and I hear things constantly about our obesity issues.

Congratulations!!
dorothyblueeyes (Oct 10, 2010)
Truly well done.Yes,they say,now that India and other countries have :"industrialized civilization"(i.e.,they have all our jobs and manufacturing,and business now)they are also having "obesity problems",or starting to.They;re going for more fat,sugar,less good food,so it's only a while,until they get our obesity problems with their industrial civilization.

sort of reminds me of John Merrick
artsy (Oct 7, 2010)
I like this, it's interesting. I just have one thing to add though, just for future reference, there's a space after every comma used in sentences. Sorry....just, it's been bugging me.
davincipoppalag (Oct 7, 2010)
A comma's a pause at the end of a clause, and a cat has claws at the end of its paws.

He who joyfully marches in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice.

I wouldn't call this advanced.

you need to draw using the beginner board until your skills have improved enough to use the intermediate board
