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

Giddy-up!

firecracker (Dec 24, 2009)

Looks great so far......I don't know why, but this pic makes me think of the movie "Sleepy Hollow".....maybe it's the black horse.....the rider has his head, so I know it's not the "headless horseman".....lol. Anyways....I like the draw so far....hope to see you finish it! :)

dorothyblueeyes (Dec 25, 2009)

You must be around riders and horses,good movement;and the sky accenting is very effective.

Aakyra (Dec 26, 2009)

Thanks to all for the comments so far... I draw encouragement from your support, and I feel I will need it to finish this one. DBE - unfortunately, I do not have a horse or the time to spend with people who are fortunate to own, ride, show these beautiful creatures, but I do love rendering them. This is my path of choice as far as my traditional art is concerned, and with each completed work, I am fortunate to be able to see and do more to bring the spirit and beauty of the horse to life. Thanks again everyone, and Happy Holidays!
