thanks, I appreciate the encouragement. does a tablet help? I don,t know why I ask, I can't afford one did you see the portrait of the girl with the yellow scarf? that was hard to do because it is hard to control the mouse well and I do not know how to get smooth shading. I would appreciate any of your comments or suggestions. HEY, I just looked up stuff on ebay and found a digital pen/mouse and they are affordable. it would give me control like a pen. Have you heard of these?

I've never had a tablet, so I don't know much about them, but I have heard that you can do really great things with a tablet.....that's why I would love to get one someday. Yes I saw your draw of the girl with a scarf, and it's pretty good, but I have the same problem about getting really smooth shading. I have a difficult time trying to control my mouse too. You found a digital pen/mouse on ebay?? I shop on ebay quite often.....I'll have to look that up......I've never heard of a digital pen/mouse before......it sounds interesting. :)

Having a tablet did not give me more skill. It simply is more like holding a pen or pencil than a mouse is, so that made it more controllable to hold. Go to the Wacom site. Mine is the tiniest and the cheapest..I think it was less than $100 on sale at Best Buy.

thanks for the info, i just came home from having surgery on my other hand, since i only have 2 hands they should be done. i think i will try the pen/mouse. anything that will give me more control should help. i have had better luck with florals and landscapes because i don't need realy straight lines

Cool, I love this

firecracker (Apr 6, 2009)

This pic is really awesome.....I love the background, especially the sky. The only thing wrong with this pic is that pink looking thingy....it looks like a fish that has been "gutted", and it's intestines are laying on the ground! "LOL"!! Fantastic draw though!! :D

cool lookin so far cant wait to see the finish

firecracker (Jan 13, 2010)

He makes me think of a magical "genie"....."lol"....:)

dorothyblueeyes (Jan 18, 2010)

yes, this is very nice. I can hardly wait to see how he finishes it. Can I ask a question? Are all the fine arts students who are doing figure studies, and figure drawing, now doing it on computers? It seems like it, doesn't it? Wow. Do you take a laptop into class, and you don't use charcoal and Conti crayon,and heavy pencils, and lots of sketching paper? Oh boy, have things changed in the world! Yeah, I bet a lot of you just go into class with your laptops and never even get charcoal on your fingers, Haw Haw!hey, why not? You can't erase that charcoal very well, once it gets heavily down. This drawing should come out very nicely, I can hardly wait to see it.

you did a great drawing of someone with a head injury, her pupil is dialated and it looks like an old scar on her forehead and she has a sad look to her face like some older people get. she is probably feeling bewildered
