Sweetcell & shults, don't look at the "water", look at the mid-tones, highlights, lowlights, and shadows along with the over all shape. Keep trying though!! You'll get it!!

Less is more with water and shiny stuff. I still can't do shiny... look at some of Axil's and Annas...

I think when you draw an eye or a water drop you're selling your soul to the devil!

elly (Sep 18, 2006)

Not if your soul is already sold to higher ground first! =)

The Expensive Sunglasses

KuteDymples (Sep 14, 2006)

Just had to try it. The glass part was the hardest. I know they are not perfect, but the best I could do at this time of night. My Reference Picture: http://www.designer-fashion-trends.com/img/sunglasses/chanel-sunglasses-1.jpg

Thanks for all of the great comments! I just thought of something funny, should have put these on the Alien Frill.

~NC~WildGunzTomcat~NC~ (Sep 21, 2006)

Wow that's pretty good. Very nice. (This is Brian btw lol)

DeadlyBlondeArcher (edited Sep 21, 2006)

Unmistakably Chanel, yeah. I always liked the "signature" because it looks like two intertwined horseshoes. (I'm sure that's probably not what was intended)... I think cheap sunglasses make a much classier statement when you can wear them and "pull it off".... but that's the rebel in me. :) I would love to have these.

I think you did a wonderful job on the translucence of the lenses.

Thanks everyone for your comments, I can't believe how long ago I did this. I did sparkle them up a bit. I hope it looks better.

how did you scan that photo of me stalking those idiots riding through my yard again? LOL no this is so crazy! the details on the horseriders are .. how? inspiring. Its so hard to make things very small look so realistic. The wispy coulds are incredible too. all around greatness.

Alien Frill

My weird side

KuteDymples (Sep 14, 2006)

I knew that is why I liked you Elly...YOU ARE WERID TOO! But thanks.

Sweetcell (Sep 14, 2006)

Very wierd and cute. I like weird and cute. To make it truly alien you should remove the nose.

davincipoppalag (Sep 14, 2006)

Now this looks like a mask for your cat

KuteDymples (Sep 14, 2006)

If I had a cat, I would have to wear a mask. I am so allergic to them. I was going to remove the nose, but it isn't worth asking for more space on this one. LOL Just a doodle actually, Thanks for all the comments guys!

Raggedy Ann & Andy

KuteDymples (Sep 12, 2006)

One of my Childhood favorites

Sweetcell (Sep 13, 2006)

I had one of those growing up (but I can't remember if it was Anne or Andy) And I still have a childrens book from the 80's. Thanks for the memories Kute. :)

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Sep 13, 2006)

Raggedy Ann! :) I loved the book, and my Raggedy Ann doll was one of my favorites, although I put her through way more hell than Marcella did in the stories...my Alaskan Simoan dog Snow White ripped my Raggedy Ann's head off in the end. I think we should start calling Marcello "Marcella"... it's much closer to home. :D

I'm glad you did this picture, it brought back lots of funny memories, and you did such a cute job in depicting them.

KuteDymples (Sep 14, 2006)

Thanks everyone for the great comments on these, I guess they are just "Old Favorites" of a lot of people. Actually I do paint a lot of childrens characters for pay but on canvas I do much better than on the net. I am really not half as good as I would like to be. I have painted so many Winnie the Pooh pictures I have grown not to like "The Pooh" much. LOL My favorite childrens characters to paint is Disney, Mickey and Minnie. I just love them and could never paint them enough.

They look good enough to eat! My little granddaughters picked most of my tomatoes and threw them all over the back yard last weekend. Grrrrr..

Sweetcell (Sep 14, 2006)

Pick one, make a sauce.

KuteDymples (Sep 14, 2006)

I like 'em just sliced with salt and peppa! My mouth is watering as I type. Actually my favorite tomatoe are the "green fried" ones. Yummy!

STARZSHINE (Feb 11, 2008)

very nice, and I love these little guys, so sweet, mmmm makes me want summer to get here in a hurry

fleeting_memory (Sep 11, 2006)

nice water droplets-I've never been able to figure out water :)

emmamommalag (Sep 13, 2006)

I haven't tried drawing water like this but you are inspiring me with this and your others.. I just might have to give it a go one of these days.

Sweetcell (Sep 13, 2006)

After seeing these water pics of yours I really have to try myself. I don't know how hard it is but damn you make me want to try. It's all a matter of placement of refractive colors and shapes I know, but it's harder than it seems. Hope you do more of them elly, you obviously got the hang of it.

Bloodshot fire clouds in your eyes

But if God made you he�s in love with me"
