No Escape

reference from the internet. SUCH a cool picture!!! Someone was at the right place at the right time....or were they?

Sweetcell (Sep 20, 2006)

THIS is striking. (sorry 8])

But really Elly, I am amazed at how far you've come in such a short time. I feel so sorry for that tree.

elly (Sep 20, 2006)

Ha, thanks SC. I look at my first few and sort of laugh. I can draw & paint no problem, it was just learning the tools here and knowing when and where to use them. It's so much fun! I LOVE this board!!! (STILL wish I had a drawing tablet though!!!!! Maybe I'll get one for my birthday or Christmas?)

Gemmy619 (Sep 21, 2006)

Excellent draw, i love the glow around the lightening and the clouds are fab too :)

emmamommalag (Sep 21, 2006)

Great job.. you've inspired me to try this.

Thank you, Helena. :)

Sweetcell (Sep 14, 2006)

Yet another one I forgot to comment on. That water is so amazing you can hear the surf. I'm guessing that shadow is a mountain or cliff? Really stunning emma.

Deino (Sep 14, 2006)

Oh. My. God. Gorgeous...

TammyF (Oct 11, 2006)

Absolutely breathtaking!!! Sooooo much depth!!!!! The more I look, the more amazing this piece becomes!! Excellent work!!!

believe it or not kutie, these are my first! It took me a while to feel they were looking realistic but I got the hang of it.....I think!

suntan toes, I love your user name....and I love it when my feet are tan!!!! Thank you =)

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.

The Classic Drip

elly (Sep 12, 2006)

Yep, had to try the drip!

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!!

davincipoppalag (Sep 15, 2006)

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

DinoFlorist (Sep 17, 2006)

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! =)

Cleans up well?

Red Ripe Tomatoes

Just another attempt at realism

emmamommalag (Sep 13, 2006)

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

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.

STARZSHINE (Feb 11, 2008)

absolutely adorable!

Starting over?

DMV (Sep 10, 2006)

This is probably not Intermediate level...sorry .

I'd recognize that drawing anywhere! Welcome back!

DMV (Sep 12, 2006)

Nice to know I was missed:)

Anna (Sep 13, 2006)

heck yes you were missed! welcome back :D

HunterKiller_ (Sep 13, 2006)

Hey dude. The halftone(?) on the left side is totally buzzing me out. It looked like it's flickering and shifting up and down like T.V static, because i've got an LCD monitor. Totally trippy. =D

Eye

emmamommalag (Sep 9, 2006)

Oooh, me too and this one's gorgeous. :)

GreenEye (Sep 9, 2006)

wow, this is really pretty! Stunning colours... ^_^

Sweetcell (Sep 9, 2006)

Just simple strokes and look at how beautiful it is. Reminds me of the older pulp comic books.
