The ritual of nail painting dates back to 3000 BCE ... first practiced by the Chinese as something of a status symbol. The royal dynasty wore silver and gold ... and commoners were only permitted to wear pale shades. Deviations from this custom were punishable by death.

I love this sketchy style. Has the feel of a quick storyboard drawing colored in.

Took the only painting as inspiration of Rembrandt that isn't Baroque/Rococo... :/. Hidden in the painting (on a hidden layer :D ) is also a female figure, a little more baroque. Landscapes are hard yet fun to do.

omg that looks so good the water is just so watery!!! :)

enjoydotcom (Jul 8, 2008)

Thanks, doing the water was a lot of fun. More than I expected to actually. In fact doing the whole scenerey was more fun. Felt a bit Bob Ross-y. 'Lets make a mountain here, after all it is your world!'. Still have to fix the lady, any tips on what else is off? Anyone?

Thanks, I like doing fabric. Missed doing folds and stuff, but went all out with my previous drawing on the dress :D. So I couldn't let go of it yet.
When done with this drawing I figured it must either be a giant ducky, or a miniature towel. Making the tiles darker was actually very easy. I cloned the layer, set the top of the two to "desaturate" en played with opacity of the layer, making it more gray then blue.
For the drop shadows under the duck and towel I also clone the layer, moving the lower layer slightly right and under, setting it to overlay, set to the opacity you like. And finally blurring the edges so the shadow looks soft and more natural.
