This turned out very pretty. You do still lifes well. Maybe a few more shadows on the vase to have it look more substantial, as well as some shadows on the leaves and flowers that intersect or lay over the other. And as well highlights here and there, like the wrought iron. That's wrought iron right?

I wanted to go back and add some more shadows, but I had asked for space so many times on this one that I was about afraid to try it again. You are right about the shadows and highlights though, now looking back on this one. Yes, that is wrought iron (or simulated wrought iron) LOL Thanks for the great comments and suggestions. Airin and Shigatsu Sensei, your opinions mean so much to me as well...I love feedback on my drawings, even if they are not good. Yours please me well.

......she felt the unresistable pull to swim out to red rock. Even knowing it was over 2 miles out to sea, she couldn't fight it. The urge was too strong. It was nearly dusk as she tore off her dress and dove in to the calm but brisk waters and began to swim. Nearing the first mile, she began to tire and weaken but the pull to get to the rock continued to grow. As she passed nearly 2 miles, her strength began to grow, she found it easier to swim. Her torso naturally took over and moved up and down with fluid motion pushing her through the now reddening waters towards her destination. Upon reaching the rock, she pulled her upper body up against the jagged edges with all the strength she had in her arms but she found an unbelievable weight added to her legs.....

huh-a mermaid with a butt. Amazing. :)

elly (Sep 3, 2006)

.......as she laid upon the rock staring at the disapering sun, the weight on her legs slowly creeped up, covering her bare flesh up to her breasts......she slowly slid down into the water and swam away, never to be seen again.

... yeah

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Sep 2, 2006)

I think it's really interesting... I mean... It takes a moment to register that it's an eye...and then when you do you see the image in the eye... so you begin searching for what the image means... it's really an intriguing piece of art.

elly (Sep 2, 2006)

I agree with DBA, and I love your use of color and all the details. Very interesting!

Just updating this to "finished" to clear out the 'ole studio. No more space to draw on this one anymore. I know I can request more space but I'd rather just have room to start another drawing =)

a little more...more to go

KuteDymples (Aug 21, 2006)

That is too cool! Can't wait to see this one done!

elly (Aug 21, 2006)

Well, I guess this is it for this drawing. I've lost it somehow, even though I can still see it in my gallery, I can't revise it. I still had space too. I've got a memo out waiting to be read about the problem so maybe, just maybe I can work on it again. I'll be bummed if I can't. I was really into this one!!! Oh well, art goes on.....

davincipoppalag (Sep 1, 2006)

Yea...that happened to me a couple times, too..don't know why or if they can fix.. hope so I like this

This ones just been sitting. I "was" going to delete it but I decided to give it one more draw. I'm done. =)

davincipoppalag (Aug 31, 2006)

I like the ringy hair curls.. I think her eyes are a tad too far apart though?

elly (Sep 1, 2006)

yep, I agree. Too far apart, not enough definition in the corners either. Same with the nose. I can only get better though right? I'll keep practicing!

davincipoppalag (Sep 1, 2006)

Dass how it's done!@

baby blue

elly (Aug 30, 2006)

I'm attempting a drawing of my son....only thing here that resembles him is the pose....such a cute pose. I'll keep working on it =)

Ok, this is not supposed to be on the contest page. Don't think I can switch it. Guess I'll send a memo to see if the guru's here can do it for me =)
