I tried to make this draw look "painterly"........I don't know if I succeeded or not......"lol"!! I used the pen tool only......I don't know if you can make draws look "painterly" using the pen tool. Any advice or criticism would be appreciated! :)

Whoa! Santa looks bigger than life standing by that tree! I'm not all that fond of the texture on the bells but I love everything else about it! Merry Christmas, firecracker!

Merry Christmas! Very nice job, fc. :)

Very soft and fluffy hair...I like it but I must agree that I don't like the textured balls either.

"Wow"! I want to thank you ALL for your nice comments......I really do appreciate it! I'm glad you all like the "pic"....but some of you don't like the textured bells......maybe you're right....I might try to fix them up. That's the only place that I used the texture tool.....I thought the texture would make the bells look shinier.....but I guess it just detracts from them. Nobody said whether this pic looks "painterly" or not......I tried to make this draw have a painted look to it....sooo...how did I do???? "flubadub"....Santa is supposed to have a huge bushy beard....didn't you know that!!?? "LOLZ"! :P

When I was little....I believed in everything that was magical......I believed in Santa, and the Easter Bunny, and I even believed in the "tooth fairy"...."lol"!! I was very disillusioned when I found out that these were all "myths"....."lol"! :)

iary (Dec 23, 2009)

O.o...Santa is coming ! Great !
