Well this was fun for me to do, experimenting with the effects, not intending to be "realistic" but rather "stylized" again taking a bit of artistic liscence here and adding a few things and deleting a few things in order to get a composition with the "right feel" to it! again david hope you enjoy, I did, you are a gifted photographer and this is a "gift" for you!

This needs to be showcased. No really. I just think it's so awesome. The use of texture in this picture.

Hi Donna!! Glad to see you still drawing and around.
You have done a million drawings here!!! Most of them interesting and creative I am sure.
I found another spot to draw that I enjoy.
Hope you are well, take care.

QT...I'll find the draw where I sort of explain how I do this kind of thing. Basically, tho, it's the difference tool, blur, sharpen and other nifty toolz!

Pose

QTgillie (Mar 10, 2008)

This is a picture that I got from a fried on bebo, so I do not have the reference site. I have three layers here and it took a very long time because I kept getting these morph images when I would draw and even when I would toggle through the layers, a straight lined boxy image in black would appear. I had to redraw the girl at least ten times in different areas of the drawing. Is this because of my pen, this program, or a problem with my tablet? Any information would be appreciated.

Ethereal, Laura!

QT i don't want to be mean or seem mean in any way, your image is great as everybody has said. So i hope you don't take this the wrong way, i just want to help. It seems that every time i look at this image i find that something is wrong, and it seems to me that the leg the figure is standing on is way to short in proportion to the other leg and the rest of the body...i could be that my mind is playing tricks on me or some weird optical allusion, i don't know, but from the way i see the leg is a little too short. I hope you don't hate me, i really like your drawings and hope to see much more from you in the future

QTgillie (Mar 14, 2008)

met, you are probly right,l but I got so frustrated with this pic because of the ghost shadows appearing every time I touched it, I will NOT mess with it anymore. One reason that it optically looks longer tho, (I think) is becasue the leg in the air has the butt attached to it so it is visible and the standing leg does not. Take your fingers and measure and compare each leg going from the crotch or the bottom of the butt ot the toes and they are pretty close. Thanks for your input.

Wow, got some critique on this from another site, which brought me back to this piece. I was never happy with it and I think it has improved but could use a little more work here and there. This was more difficult than it looks by a long shot!
