I kept thinking"is this a varmint?is this a photo shop?"hamsters do this?yeah,this is so darn cute,you could put it on cards you send peiople,and you'd cute them to death;what a wonderful painting work!fuzzy with paint,yow, i want one!you have a genius for animals, i see you animating their lil furry carcasses in revivals of "toy story"films. this talent wit critters should not be wasted.colors and details of fur...wonderful.my oracle says, "you will do critters,in the future,and make millions of adult kids very happy."(but what is the hamster saying,up there?"My feet are in knots,I can't get them untied!HELP!!")FABULOUS. :)

LOL!!!!! Baaahahaaaa@dorothy!!! Thx ^__^

Aaaaaaaaw, soooo cute!!!! You are such a good artist... i wish I were as good as you! Great job!

I like this too

This is absolutely gorgeous.

This is very beautiful, the lines are nice and crisp...it is absolutely perfect! Great job!

very nice pencils.....I have a set of colored pencils, and I never used them.....in fact I have a lot of great art supplies and pastel paints and pencils, art paper, etc.....and I never try using any of that stuff.....I guess I just got "caught up" in drawing online, that I don't make time to learn anything else....what a shame....I should try to find time to draw and paint "offline", as well as "online". I should make time for both....."lol"! Anyways.....nice draw!! :)

Yea, painting is a lot of fun ofline too, theirs a lot you can do... If you take a thicker piece of paper... doesnt have to be canvas, draw rainbows (awesome with oil pastels or you can do it in paint) going in all different directions then paint over all of it with black, silver, or white, then you take a plastic fork and scrape it across the wet paint (try to paint thick or else it wont look as awesome) in parallel or wavy or zigzag or criscross patterns...try using variation. it looks really cool, Also try to use this technique for a background of a painting...It looks sweet!

I remember scratch art! It is fun and always interesting to see what appears =) They actually sell unscratched scratch art dye cuts like xmas ornaments, easter eggs, etc...usually covered in black. but I once found blue snow flakes that were shinny silver when you scratched the blue off. VERY cool!
LOL! Ok! Your pencils! Great job!! I SO remember the feeling I got when I finally created a more 'realistic' piece! It's all the motivation you need to strive to get even better! You are WELL on your way! Congrats!!

lol@dave....who knows? They're just random boobs...laptop boobs...could hardly see what I was drawing! I think this one needs to go in the trash bin!!!

Nice job on this

I like the perspective this is drawn in. Nice work! Welcome =)

Beautiful! Can almost hear the waves splashing!:))

Um..how do you think I was finally accepted...;)

I see that I have created much grief and I hope all of you will accept my apology .I have stained the board with art that was not suitable to make the grade.and I am very sorry. However,I am in agreement with my friend Flubbles.As I have stated this is just recreational to me and I do have a life.This was just part of it. As for Lynnand Charlie I am very fond of your work.And it would please me if you continue to make us all entertained by staying and doing more of your brilliance. As for Maiko I knew you not .And now that I do know your authority .Forgive my "sloppy work". I hope to see more newcomers do great things.That's what makes this website so great!

Hmmm. Yeah. I know what Maiko is talking about. I don't spend too much time on my drawings, and so, I am still using the beginner board. I want to try intermediate soon, but I am planning on spending some quality time ( I think I have a few intermediate drawings in gallery not sure ). I think if you really want to post in advanced, you have to look at drawings from Flubbles and Jekyll's collabs. Or just thier own drawings alone. A simple drawing should always be in beginners. Even great artists of this website I am sure post in beginners when they draw something simple.

Aside from that, I think this is a great beginners piece! Like the gold/bronze look of the hour glass.

Interesting work you do, itchy. I can see volcano, but my first thought was raw wool. Great work. :)

or maybe 'TheShadow' from Inkheart. though it was blacker.. silica not too good for jet engines either... i imagine wool has silica content.....thnx l,d,t,s i'll have to do a proper referenced one now :)

This is really cool.....I have to agree with suntan.....it makes me think of raw wool also.....:)
