http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinterklaas#Sinterklaasno reference used. Shoe Traditionally, in the weeks between his arrival and the 5th of December, before going to bed, children put their shoes next to the chimney of the coal fired stove or fireplace, with a carrot or some hay in it "for Sinterklaas's horse", sing a Sinterklaas song, and will find some candy in their shoes the next day, supposedly thrown down the chimney by a Zwarte Piet or Sinterklaas himself. However, with the advent of central heating children put their shoes near the boiler or even just next to the front door. Typical Sinterklaas candy is the first letter of the child's name made out of chocolate, chocolate coins, a figurine of Sinterklaas made out of chocolate and wrapped in painted aluminium foil, and coloured marzipan shaped into fruit, an animal or some other object. Children are told that Black Pete enters the house through the chimney, which also explains his black face and hands, and would leave a bundle of sticks or a small bag with salt in the shoe instead of candy when the child had been bad. Children are also told that in the worst case they would be put in the gunny sack in which Black Pete carries the presents, and be taken back to Spain, where Sinterklaas is said to spend the rest of the year. This practice however has been condemned by Sinterklaas in his more recent television appearances as something of the past. (I love wikipedia, saves my fingers from typing it all) |

I"m in a serious art-funk, but still want to draw something. Toying around and out came a fleece close up. At least, that is what I think it looks like.
coward-san (Oct 5, 2007)
it looks like you covered all picture with flowers
jessdel (Oct 6, 2007)
awesome and fleecy...
Sweetcell (Oct 11, 2007)
When you say texture do you mean the 'd' tool on the lower left of the canvas, below the layers window? If so I have to try that. It does look like fluffy wool, it must cause I'm itchy now. :)
enjoydotcom (Oct 14, 2007)
Yup, lower left of the canvas, I played moth with the bottom one, cause the top one is too regular. |

This is sooo cute, I like it!
enjoydotcom (Sep 17, 2007)
Thank you! You know, the longest took drawing the letters. I'm still pondering (are you pondering what I'm pondering?) on what else to add.
camadeon (Sep 21, 2007)
Ya, this is cute. Would be fun to see it in a new color theme here.
TripleE313 (Sep 21, 2007)
Maybe a couple more little animals? Maybe one in the w and on top of the 2? A little butterfly or somethin on top of the 2 would look cute...=) |

Ladybugs, no real reference used. Started out as a doodle.I think I'm done.
Axil62 (Oct 5, 2007)
FART! FART! FART! FART! FART! FART!
DeadlyBlondeArcher (Oct 5, 2007)
I love this picture you painted of ladybugs. How do we get more ladybugs, though, if they are all ladybugs and there aren't any boybugs?
enjoydotcom (Oct 5, 2007)
I have no idea! Funny thing is, in Dutch they are called, lieveheersbeestjes which translates literally into sweet-gentleman-bugs.
Roytje (Oct 6, 2007)
Or sweet-rule-bugs... :P |

Line'art' practice.

Ha. cute Kangoo
Heartsdomain (Aug 20, 2007)
You did a clean job on the black outlining.
Sweetcell (Aug 21, 2007)
It does come out nice and smooth doesn't it? This is because (from observation) when it's put on thick it's less pixily (word?) and more like a nice brush stroke. Ya done good. I'm guessing a Kangoo is a cross between something?:)
DoOp (Aug 21, 2007)
Thats the coolest looking kan-goo ever 8D |

Have to stop it for now, before I draw my entire saturday away :P
enjoydotcom (Jun 2, 2007)
Now that you mention it, it is an A.
enjoydotcom (Jun 7, 2007)
Hmm, arched neck, I thought A is for Aviation animal :D Bit silly since she has very small wings.
Sweetcell (Jun 7, 2007)
Aviation is good, why didn't I think of aviation. |

Rembrandt's selfportrait. Using a reference. Just an experiment.I can never get it exactly like the master himself, but I'm pretty damn proud about it!
enjoydotcom (May 23, 2007)
LMAO...
KuteDymples (May 28, 2007)
I agree with you about some of the comments over to Senile, but I guess the thing that draws me over there is that shi painter 1.8 I love that program. I wish we had it here or over to Ginkgo. Maybe by the time I get really good at it they will update it here, or over to my other fav. place. I go over to Senile about once a day to check things out, but as far as posting a bunch I won't be doing that. I can see they are a lot younger, and don't put a lot of effort into thier drawings or comments. I have seen some pretty drawings, but like you said We can spend 2-3 hours on something and someone that puts no effort into their stuff will give a negatively sounding comment. Ooooo KKkkkk! LOL It was just sort of a challenge for me to figure it out, since I almost have it, it is losing it's appeal.
Miss_DJ (May 30, 2007)
oh my goodness. This is exquisite. Wonderful work!
enjoydotcom (May 31, 2007)
Thanks Miss DJ, glad you can appreciate it. And Kute, If you ever need a human translation, I'll be happy to help. |

Finger is my own... yup, its crooked.
Miss_DJ (May 3, 2007)
yeah...32 is young, trust me..lol..my hands looked much different 18 yrs ago than they do now. (but, you're right...13 yr olds think we're ALL ancient).
JK-Arts (May 3, 2007)
Hmm baby press buttens.Hi i really like your shading.
enjoydotcom (May 5, 2007)
Thanks for the comments, I'm calling it done now :D
MelissaMissy (Jan 29, 2008)
I'm 12 and I don't think 32 year olds are ancient... I think they're rather young. Just cos we're younger (12 and 13 year olds) doesn't mean we don't have age sense! :-o |

Different style from what I'm used to do. I love making shapes in face using just darker and lighter colors.
enjoydotcom (May 5, 2007)
I know, the bended finger is supposed to be the thumb, but I have to fold the other fingers over the thumb. Nah, she's a baaaad little mouse.
Roytje (edited May 5, 2007)
Another thing that cought my eye was that the mouse drank to much "beer" :P (only Dutch people will understand it)
davincipoppalag (May 5, 2007)
this looks almost 3D Joyce!!
enjoydotcom (May 5, 2007)
I know Roy, I thought of making it "Biertje". :-DThanks Dave, I like trying to achieve a ''realistic' coloring with lined drawings. |

And yes DK, Sinterklaas may have been the foundation of commercialism, I prefer to think commercialism took over Sinterklaas, because before stores, people made the gifts themselves. One of the other traditions I like(d) very much is "surpises" (pronounced surpreese - kinda French). Everybody draws a name out of a bowl, the name that is on the paper, is the one you give a gift. You make something that is specific for that person, a train for a train freak etc. And inside that you hide the real gift. Usually done in schools or sportsclubs for children. Lotsafun.
Auw, arms hurt now...
