I like square plates too I have been playing around with my new tablet, the only trouble I have is the pen interprets a press and hold as a rt click which means I have to move the pen the second I place it on the tablet, do you use a tablet?

hmm..is it a type of Wacom?you might look at the instructions that came with it,or the index on yer computer for help.I have a Bamboo,but I dont think mine does that either.In case you can't figure it out,I'd ask the manufacturer customer service.Good lookin food!

great picture,cause it seems so offhand,like it was easily,casually thrown together,but actually has great skill,and I love that style;purple,to me,I have thousands of colors in my monitor spectrum(put in at the factory,for art)but purple is a passionate color,and this little heart tells me,"is this a valentine for someone?"whatever it is,it's cool.

Rose

haninja (Jan 25, 2010)

The rose isn't any good but I'm just practicing. It's difficult to draw on my laptop. I REALLY need a drawing tablet for my computer.

I know what you are talking about, Mine arrived today and it drove me crazy until I made some adjustments on the pen. I did a practice draw today with it which is not good but it helps me get used to it

elly (Jan 26, 2010)

I think your rose has GREAT potential....just need to work on the details/shading/light/shadows, etc....I draw on my laptop too sometimes but I stick to abstracts mainly...this is pretty impressive for laptop drawing! Welcome to 2d! Hope you can get you a tablet. Very affordable these days...

if you have problems with getting smooth lines try painting on chippipaint and use the smooth tool, it helps alot

it takes alot of strength to draw this, I know there are a lot of women who can't speak out because of fear or because of emotional pain

In the end Firecracker beat him to death with a big inflatable apostrophe and buried him in the back yard...he had it coming so he did.

elly (Jan 26, 2010)

I'm thrilled when a drawing brings out comments more than just the "OMG i love it!" comments. I just posted one that may stir emotions but that's not what mine was intended for. This one, Sunny, evokes many emotions I'm sure! It's deep, and it's bright and eye grabbing to get your attention! VERY well done!
Fire, you are a strong person. First, to have survived all the physical and emotional pain you've gone thru, and second, to be able to share it! Blessings to you, my friend =)

Thanks Lori and Elly.....I'm glad that all those bad memories are all behind me now,,,,,but actually it was my daughter who suffered the most pain more so than me. When my husband would get drunk,,,,he seemed to focus all his anger on our daughter, and she was only about 12 or maybe 13 yrs old when he really beat her up badly. He had a dr jekyll and mr hyde type of personality. My daughter is all grown up now and she is a "survivor", and in spite of all the disgusting things that he did,,,,,she still loves him.....I don't understand that, but that's how she feels. He died a few years ago, and I'm certain that he is not in Heaven. And "Noooo flubadub".....I didn't hit him with a giant apostrophe.....only you could come up with something like that...."lol". But I do have a lot of good memories of my time with him.....but the bad ones overshadow the good ones. I blame it all on alcohol.....he would turn into a "mr hyde" when he'd get drunk. Anyways......talking about this just brings back a lot of bad memories that I try to block out of my mind, so I'm not gonna say any more about it....it's all in the past, and he isn't here anymore.
