"Wow"! Great draw pawillie! It must've taken a lot of trime and patience to get all those rocks colored like that.....you did a great job with this! :)

Well, I guess because they judge you on your own creativity and originality....and maybe they think using a "ref" pic wouldn't be showing your own creativity....I dunno.....I think if you use a ref pic to get a basic idea of what to draw......but use your own creativity with it.....does that make sense???

oh well

I was going to draw an old Man Smiling holding his dentures in right hand, near his face. (but that was a ref) But it was a tough one anyway.

Well.....I'm totally fed up with working on this draw.....I spent wayyyy too much time on this.....just messing around with the floor tiles, trying to get them looking ok. Thank you "MissDj" for pointing out that the floor tiles didn't look right with the texture lines going thru them....I tried fixing that, and I agree with you.....it looks better without the textures. I still need to do some more work on this draw, but I'm posting this as "finished", because I'm sick of working on it...."LOL"!! I may "tinker" around with it some more later on. I used a "ref" pic, and I thought this would be a "fun" draw to do.....well I was wrong....it was a "nightmare" to do!!! I hope I never do a "checkerboard" floor again....."LOL"!!! :)

Hi "Miss Dj".....thanks very much for commenting....I appreciate it. I tried to fix that "thingy" that holds her shawl together....I think it looks a little better now, and I did remove all the texture lines that were in the floor tiles.....that took me a long time to get the floor looking right, but I definitely agree with you.....the floor looks much better without all those texture lines.....I thank you for pointing that out. I appreciate any and all suggestions and/or criticisms.....that's the only way to learn how to do better.....thanks again for commenting! :) Hi "foxbrownie".....you must be a newbie here.....it's nice to see you, and thanks very much for commenting......:)

This is awesome! So lovely and stylish! Great details! WOW!!!!!!!

Hi "pawillie" and "madscientist.....thank you both very much for your nice comments....I appreciate it. I'm glad you like the pic....I think I spent too much time on it, and most of it was just wasting time trying to get that checkerboard floor looking right.... I never want to see checkerboards again!! "LOL"! I like the pic, but I'm still not satisfied with a couple of things, but I'm too tired of working on this draw to do anything more......maybe later I might work on it more, I dunno. Anyways.....thanks again for commenting....I appreciate it!! :)
