"...Down pour on my soul. Splashing in the ocean, I'm losing control. Dark sky all around, I can't feel my feet touching the ground. But if I can't swim after forty days and my mind is crushed by the crashing waves, Lift me up so high that I can not fall Lift me up.- When I'm falling, Lift me up - I'm weak and I'm dying, Lift me up - I need you to hold me, Lift me up - Keep me from drowning again..."

Inspiration from 'Jars of Clay'

Great work

if I had to draw the two angels that I saw at my bedside when I was really sick with pneumonia, they would look like this, only more concerned looking... but they were this heavenly blue color.. it was so weird... I've often thought about drawing them but didn't think I could do it

dorothyblueeyes (Sep 15, 2012)

reminds me of old magazine illustrations, or cartooning style, with that foreshortening effect.maybe it's the face and nose,too.but very much drowning effect, alright,and reminded me instantly of Michelle Pfieffer (?spelling) movie where her husband has killed,drowned his other wife.

this is particularly a difficult type of scene to depict.from films, & photos of a body, & face drowning,the light diffusion from above, thru the water,can be tricky, & have strange effects, shadows that are hard to predict.

while this is good,(yes, very nice blue)I myself would want to use a real photo,film,or even a model somehow to see how the depth of water,clearness,ect., affects the overall picture. (we have had artists, here, who did some very good depictions of bodies submerged, and i don't know how they did it;it's hard.) so, yes, pretty good and ambitious. If you're still interested, there are movies with drowning,or deepwater scenes of bodies worth studying.any experiences from life, swimming, diving, or just underwater could be helpful.(quite a coup you got marcello to comment.:) ) yep, this is a particularly difficult type of scene to paint; i think it's good. (sorry if I seem too analytical, i'm used to being that way on myself.)

Sin

EverDream (Mar 3, 2004)

Sin is an ugly thing....it dirties the purest of things...slowly fading it away or crumbling it messily. It stains, kills, blackens.

~yah I know, this pic was really out of the norm of my usual work.

drawn in 31 min

well that was fun. i just realized i have no good ideas for a background.

davincipoppalag (Feb 22, 2004)

Well I like what you put there.. it gives it a sort of samoan feel... the BG looks like the kind of patterns they have in the south Pacific islands on tapa cloth etc.. I think it worked nicely

foxman8245 (Feb 28, 2004)

hey.. like the bg here!!!

fleeting_memory (Mar 2, 2004)

Very realistic but somehow kinda freaky-cause its like a wild boar and its on my screen *runs AHHHHHHHHHHH!*

Gigandas (Feb 16, 2004)

lol, I have that a LOT.In fact, almost all my pictures are like that^^;.That's also why I'm so slow at drawing because I gotta go back and correct it><.No problem about the comments though.I really like to see people improve and I'm just trying to help you^^.Btw, I really like all your drawings.Keep it up XD.

davincipoppalag (Feb 17, 2004)

Boy have I got alot to learn.. I looked at this and said .Wow..then I read the critique and I had to say Wow to that too..I got alot out of what Gigandas said...you really have to look at your own stuff very carefully as if you are completely detached from it ..my work here sucks so far..but I am still gettting alot out of seeing the great pics that many here do, and the other insights I get from the critiques.. i LOVE this site!

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Feb 19, 2004)

EYE just like it. That's all I've got to say. :)

she looks like she's about to go on stage cause she looks worried and she has on heavy makeup-interesting-looks like it was done with pastels
