Hi "bmw"......thanks for commenting.....I'm glad you like the pic, and I do agree with you about my using the texture tool. I know I rely on it a lot......but I didn't use it very much in this draw.....I used the "scattering tool"....not the texture tool, to make those little spots on the horse....to make him look "dappled". I used the texture tool a little bit on the "trim" of the woman's dress, and a little bit on the rope that she is holding. I don't think I used texture anywhere else. I guess I don't really try to make my own textures because the texture tool is there for that purpose. That's why I don't understand why I get lots of "flack" about using this tool, when it's there for you to use...."lol"! What is the purpose of the texture tool if you're not supposed to use it??? Chibi paint doesn't have near as many texture tools like Oekaki Shi painter has. I used to have fun playing with all the different textures that Shi painter has. Anyways.....thanks "bmw" for commenting.....I do appreciate your comments and opinions and any criticism....whether it be good or bad...."lol"! I have so much to learn yet.....I don't know if I'll ever be able to feel like an artist.....I'm still just a "novice". I just deleted the last couple of draws that I was working on, and I'm about ready to delete another draw that I've been messing around with for the last few days.....I just can't get them to turn out the way I want them to.....so I don't want to "post" them. Thanks again!! :)

I cant bring myself to delete a draw, i post pictures i dislike all the time.I just dont see the point in spending all that time on something and having nothing to show for it at the end.

Ya flubadub.....but most of the pics that you "post" are worth posting......if I had your talent and knowledge of art....I wouldn't delete any draws either. These last three draws of mine that I was working on are really not worth posting. Two of them I already deleted, and this third one I was trying to do a draw using a "ref" pic by an artist named "Mullan".....and I can't get this pic to look right.....I'm just so frustrated with working on it, and if I did post it.....you would probably say it "sucks"! "lol" :)

This is soooo totally awesome! I love it! ;o)

Pretty cool.

This is incredible, you really created the fire beautifully.

I agree with Firecracker, the stones are especially well done. The mermaid looks like a real person which is nice for a change. I really like it

Yeah.....you're right.....this mermaid does look like a real person.....I'm not used to seeing that. All the mermaid pics that I've ever seen show "mystical fantasy looking" creatures....but this one really does look real....especially her fin....that looks like a real fishtail on her......and her "pouchy" midsection does make her look like a real person.....most women don't have a flat tummy. I also like her hair.....great draw!! :)

you're right,this mermaid is more like a real person.Not idealized,which is great;wonderful landscape,details,too.

I like it too...

crazy hair.. cool drawing

very nice sketching....I really like how you did this.....:)

I like her horns, and the skull that she's holding in her hand.....cool pic! :)

I think it's great! Please finish it! ;o)

thanks :)

The textures on this suit it well as well as the contrast of bold choice in color

thank you

I can't for the life of me understand why you use paintbbs, but I do love your style

I think it looks like the style of some of the older Disney cartoons.

Pretty anyway

sweet

thanks, I will see if I can clean this up a bit

He looks a little sleepy
