Pose

QTgillie (Mar 10, 2008)

This is a picture that I got from a fried on bebo, so I do not have the reference site. I have three layers here and it took a very long time because I kept getting these morph images when I would draw and even when I would toggle through the layers, a straight lined boxy image in black would appear. I had to redraw the girl at least ten times in different areas of the drawing. Is this because of my pen, this program, or a problem with my tablet? Any information would be appreciated.

Ethereal, Laura!

QT i don't want to be mean or seem mean in any way, your image is great as everybody has said. So i hope you don't take this the wrong way, i just want to help. It seems that every time i look at this image i find that something is wrong, and it seems to me that the leg the figure is standing on is way to short in proportion to the other leg and the rest of the body...i could be that my mind is playing tricks on me or some weird optical allusion, i don't know, but from the way i see the leg is a little too short. I hope you don't hate me, i really like your drawings and hope to see much more from you in the future

QTgillie (Mar 14, 2008)

met, you are probly right,l but I got so frustrated with this pic because of the ghost shadows appearing every time I touched it, I will NOT mess with it anymore. One reason that it optically looks longer tho, (I think) is becasue the leg in the air has the butt attached to it so it is visible and the standing leg does not. Take your fingers and measure and compare each leg going from the crotch or the bottom of the butt ot the toes and they are pretty close. Thanks for your input.

Wow, got some critique on this from another site, which brought me back to this piece. I was never happy with it and I think it has improved but could use a little more work here and there. This was more difficult than it looks by a long shot!

Hey Meno.
I really like the colors. Very calming. Nice draw.

Keep at it. Both Starzshine & QTgillen said they didn't think they could learn the drawing applets here, but now they are drawing amazing pictures.

Do yourself a big favor ..use either Oekaki Shi Painter or Lascaux.. you'll be much happier

QTgillie (Mar 10, 2008)

nice....I have not used this program that you used yet. I have mainly done the lascaux. I think starz likes the Oekaki Shi. Personally I cannot tell the difference.

Keep going...you are doing great!

My daughter took ballet for years, I tribute this to her. I am beginning to understand the tools better, this one drove me nuts then I discovered the button that puts color behind the top layer......duh......was going nuts.

Honey, I'm not trying to be a bitch or a perfectionist but I'm sorry, if your just doodling like this that's what begginer's for. You have pieces that belong here but if your just sketching please put it in begginers. Advanced is Advanced for a reason.
