I agree with Flubbles. I'm proud of how well I did with it so far, but there's a lot of things that aren't right. The thing I notice most is the right side of the building that juts out: I made it a lot longer than it is in the reference picture. The left lower side isn't long enough, too, and other things are either too tall or too short, like where you can see inside up at the center of the building. I may try fixing those things... Maybe not. Don't know yet.

But I'm loving this! And thanks everyone for the comments!

Turned off anti aliasing and drawing those two lines down there made a mess! Internet Explorer 8. Maybe I should use Firefox instead.

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.

elly (Dec 29, 2009)

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 =)

QTgillie (Dec 29, 2009)

very nice indeed

FreshBagels (Dec 30, 2009)

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

And even though they don't know it

The more I listen to regina, the more I enjoy her music. She has a brilliant way of pronouncing.

"Shitted" you should get yourself some incontinence pants girl.

Miss_DJ (Dec 29, 2009)

I like this a lot and Regina sounds unique, too. I like the lyrics.

shults (Dec 29, 2009)

Does it come in skirts too?

elly (Dec 29, 2009)

The colors are brilliant! Cool design too, especially the 'leafy' part...I'm not familiar with Regina either but I'm gonna check the link =)

Gillie"......I think you should draw a pic of "Brett Favre"......he's the main reason the Vikings are doing so well this season......I really would like to see Brett win the Super Bowl this year.....then maybe he can finally retire! "LOL"! :)

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

Suntan (Dec 27, 2009)

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.

Sweetheart, I love it. At least you take a chance!

Suntan (Dec 27, 2009)

haha..why thank you, honey bunches!

QTgillie (Dec 27, 2009)

And wouldn't it be a loss to the world of art if such artists as Picasso and Dali just to name a couple, always drew picture perfect realism. Keep experimenting Sunny, that is how we all grow!!

Suntan (Dec 27, 2009)

yeah, thanks..I'll keep plugging along. This is all cc in good spirit. I like that. :)

"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.

Roytje (Dec 24, 2009)

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...
