Hey, thank you all for the comments! I'm really motivated to draw more now. I do see it's too small, for sure. I have trouble committing to the huge amount of work that a bigger canvas requires... But I really, really enjoyed this picture! It's been a while since I've taken my art seriously... A long time... But mostly because I got frustrated and scared I'd never be able to the art I really wanted to make. This picture, though, and your comments, really renew faith in my ability, or potential at least!

Thanks!!

Next picture will definitely be larger.

You just need a little more confidence in yourself! I used to feel the same way =) I don't think a bigger canvas requires more work, just longer lines...lol ;p....but whatever the size canvas, it's the effort you decide to put into that particular drawing. Some drawings get more effort than others depending on mood, inspiration, time...etc... altho this is rather small, I can see that you put your effort into it and worked with it. Keep it up! And welcome to 2d! I'm elly, nice to meet you =)

Thanks Elly! I feel like you really do know my problem pretty well, and love the perspective you put it in!

Amazing textures, I can't imagine how painstaking that must have been. Well done.

He gives me the willies...seems like we should see more of his nose, like part of the other nostril. Scary looking man well done.

"We Made History!"says Obama,of healthcare bill.

dorothyblueeyes (Dec 23, 2009)

A labor of sarcasm,and political discontent; Obama has his "machine",but now does it work?Most of the Legislators have not even read it all.Cutting billions out of Medicare,so you have old people with no medical treatment,great.this is not reform, it's a bad expensive JOKE.POOH to healthcare bill!

ha ha that kinda sounds like a bush mistake
i like how thick the manuel is no one will want to read it let alone understand it

dorothyblueeyes (edited Dec 29, 2009)

Thanks for the compliments about the art;I agree,this is hard to take.Well,I'm not sure what people on Medicare will do;already,most doctors wont take Medicare patients.It's exactly like Bush,to cut the Medicare,and then non-fund Seniors and disabled people's medical treatment;that's what we fully expect to happen.NO medical treatment.The money will be gone. Oh,yeah,all you guys everyone,who does not buy insurance,are going to be FORCED TO BUY IT. OR,you start getting heavily fined by the govt. I say,a revolt is in order.

I detect most people who voted for Obama,to now be wanting to throw him out of office;they're angry at him,cause he's just like a Republican,no diff.So,maybe he's a lame duck.

Canada has it's own problems,like no doctors;they all leave.A Canadian told me that,anyhow.Some people say Canada is good at healthcare,some people say,they die watiing for operations.Maybe it depends on where you are.I read true stories,the equipment in Canadian hospitals, is so old,worn out,they chauffer the patient across the border,to an American hospital,to use THEIR EQUIPMENT. So,I'm not sure;if you're gong to Canada,some new Canadians,from America,say that they are reviled and disliked by the natives,because they consider expatriate Americans to have DUMPED and deserted their country.I would really go there,for a while,first,see what it's really like to live there;(before you abandon the US.)Me,if I thought Canadians would hate me,for moving there,I'd be more hesitant to go permenently.

No, the people who voted him and who now are angry are lame ducks. Why did they choose him if they aren't happy with his plans?

Bubblicious (Dec 27, 2009)

This is why my mom wants us to move to Canada, they don't have these sorts of problems. She has friends there who tells her this stuff is bullshit...

dorothyblueeyes (Dec 25, 2009)

you know how to use it;effective picture,really grabs you; me like.

Aakyra (Dec 26, 2009)

The pattern of light at the top reminds m of the Northern lights. Besides that it is a wonderful light display, perhaps the Christmas star... a lovely abstract elly!

thesolarwinds (Dec 27, 2009)

This is amazing, almost like an act of god as it happens, or so it seems to me. I love the colors and the light. :p

Giddy-up!

firecracker (Dec 24, 2009)

Looks great so far......I don't know why, but this pic makes me think of the movie "Sleepy Hollow".....maybe it's the black horse.....the rider has his head, so I know it's not the "headless horseman".....lol. Anyways....I like the draw so far....hope to see you finish it! :)

dorothyblueeyes (Dec 25, 2009)

You must be around riders and horses,good movement;and the sky accenting is very effective.

Aakyra (Dec 26, 2009)

Thanks to all for the comments so far... I draw encouragement from your support, and I feel I will need it to finish this one. DBE - unfortunately, I do not have a horse or the time to spend with people who are fortunate to own, ride, show these beautiful creatures, but I do love rendering them. This is my path of choice as far as my traditional art is concerned, and with each completed work, I am fortunate to be able to see and do more to bring the spirit and beauty of the horse to life. Thanks again everyone, and Happy Holidays!

any tips?

dorothyblueeyes (Dec 25, 2009)

your swirling waterfall part is going well;you can make that the focus of the picture.So far,I think it's going good;I like the dark and light contrasts.too.Not any more tips than that,I like it already.
