Very nice!:))

This is cool....I like it....:)

very nice pencils.....I have a set of colored pencils, and I never used them.....in fact I have a lot of great art supplies and pastel paints and pencils, art paper, etc.....and I never try using any of that stuff.....I guess I just got "caught up" in drawing online, that I don't make time to learn anything else....what a shame....I should try to find time to draw and paint "offline", as well as "online". I should make time for both....."lol"! Anyways.....nice draw!! :)

Yea, painting is a lot of fun ofline too, theirs a lot you can do... If you take a thicker piece of paper... doesnt have to be canvas, draw rainbows (awesome with oil pastels or you can do it in paint) going in all different directions then paint over all of it with black, silver, or white, then you take a plastic fork and scrape it across the wet paint (try to paint thick or else it wont look as awesome) in parallel or wavy or zigzag or criscross patterns...try using variation. it looks really cool, Also try to use this technique for a background of a painting...It looks sweet!

I remember scratch art! It is fun and always interesting to see what appears =) They actually sell unscratched scratch art dye cuts like xmas ornaments, easter eggs, etc...usually covered in black. but I once found blue snow flakes that were shinny silver when you scratched the blue off. VERY cool!
LOL! Ok! Your pencils! Great job!! I SO remember the feeling I got when I finally created a more 'realistic' piece! It's all the motivation you need to strive to get even better! You are WELL on your way! Congrats!!

very pretty.....:)

very pretty

Yes, very pretty. I like the way the flowers stand out against the darkness of the water. And also how the more you look at this, the more you see.

Interesting work you do, itchy. I can see volcano, but my first thought was raw wool. Great work. :)

or maybe 'TheShadow' from Inkheart. though it was blacker.. silica not too good for jet engines either... i imagine wool has silica content.....thnx l,d,t,s i'll have to do a proper referenced one now :)

This is really cool.....I have to agree with suntan.....it makes me think of raw wool also.....:)

I friggin' love that picture..lol

This is so cool.....I luv it! When I first saw this....I thought it was a mursku draw. This is awesome.....I luv pics like this.....:)

This is every dream I've ever had.

hmmm..I missed this! wow, you really did do a great job recreating watercolor. It's lovely, like a cove of a larger lake. Quite familiar looking! :)

Thank you, all. I've never really tried using watercolour to paint with and to be honest, it never really appealed to me. Lately, however, Ive gained an interest in it and have been studying various techniques on the web. I hope to give it a try in the near future. I made this scene up but there are many places like this in the area where I live. I suppose it's time I start taking advantage of it. It'd be a good excuse to just sit by a lake, anyway.

Have you been taking advantage of it yet? :)

blast out? haha I love you both too.. and thanks Dave

Very cute draw lori.....I like it!! :)
