How do you get water to look "wet"??? This is really amazing.....I agree with "MissDj".....The glass looks like real glass...the marbles look the way marbles should look....very smooth and glassy.....the water really does look like real water...nice and wet......and that goldfish just "blows my mind.....he looks so alive and beautiful.....I want one!! "lol"!! You are definitely a great artist "Bette". :)

thank you all so much .. and I agree with you the chosen, the bowl does seem too small for the fish, but that's the way it was in the ref .. donna and firecracker, I am glad you both liked it and you guys are just way too kind to me :)

Cool drawing, love the colours and the text.

lori (May 21, 2009)

thanks, I wish I put the text off to the side, der.. but now the layers are merged so..

Miss_DJ (May 30, 2009)

new church logo

elly (May 29, 2009)

Whatever text I've added to this in the last 10 minutes is NOT showing up for me! I'm not a very happy camper at this moment .\ /.

it's a great looking logo elly! your pastor will really love it :)

elly (May 31, 2009)

Thank's, y'all. You ROCK! y'all are so consistent. I love it! I'm happy to say that the pastor loved this draw, but I talked him into trying it with a more 'rugged' looking cross instead of a clean lined one. So, whenEVER I get the chance to play with that, I will....after the wine wears off...LOL. Oh, dave, there are many premises as to why these elements are in this logo but I'm afraid it would take too long to lay it all out!!!! Ooo, that might not be a good thing... *off to the think tank*

shults (Jun 3, 2009)

Forgive my ignorance, but is there a meaning to the unnatural way in which the water flows?

drawn in 1 min

Well, if this text doesn't show for me, this one is HISTORY!!!! I've typed my explanation out several times now and it hasn't shown up with the drawing yet! I think I've got my s**t together now and will try to explain my dilemma with this draw ONE MORE TIME......

After drawing version #5 and tried to use the logo, it has a white bkgd along with them image that I wanted to get rid of. SO, I opened the draw and using the eraser tool, erased everything on all the layers under the cross/water, then uploaded it. The version that appeared instead was version #6 looking nothing like the one I uploaded. After thinking on it a bit, I decided to go back in and completely delete all the layers under the cross/water layers and resaved it again. This time I got version #7, again nothing like what I saved. Also interesting and frustrating as well are the last two entry thumbs that have a blue bkgd till you open the file, then you see what's above now.
Does anyone have any idea how/why this would happen? Can anyone tell me what I can do to get rid of the white bkgd box so I only have the cross and water show up when using this image on something????? Huge thanks to anyone who can offer some info!!

"Daredevil"...

firecracker (May 30, 2009)

This is from the movie "Daredevil"..... I never saw the movie.....but I liked the "ref" pic....so I wanted to try to draw it. I did use some textures.....but I didn't "overuse" them.....just a little texture on the buildings. I guess I'm posting this as "Finished"....I was gonna add some "rain" to this "pic".....but I'm afraid of "messing" it up...."lol". So....I'm finished with it for now....I can always add stuff later if I feel like it.

firecracker (Jun 1, 2009)

Hi "Bubbles", and "Elly", and "catfish"......Thank you all very much for your nice comments.....I really do appreciate it, and I'm glad you all like the "pic". Bubbles".....I don't know how to use the "layers"....so I can't do the "rain" that way.
I keep hoping that someone here will do a "rain" pic.....that might give me some "tips" on how to do it. Anyways.....I'm glad you guys like the "pic"....and thanks for commenting. :)
