Gettng the hang of it so fast Star, and I see you've gotten a love for the sharp tool. You and Miss DJ should talk.
The eye though seems oddly placed. Makes it look.... wierd. I feel it should be up and closer to the beak. But hey, good piece.

davincipoppalag (Feb 12, 2008)

This is beautiful Star! You sure got the hang fast!

KuteDymples (Feb 12, 2008)

You should be a professional artist the way you put these things out. I can't keep up with them. Somehow I missed this one and tought the last one you did was the only one I didn't see. The parchment and the way it curls really adds to this. I don't know what the sharp tool is I will have to see if I can find it next time I draw. What applet do you use to do these Starz? Is it the Lasaux? It is the one I liked before I joined another site and they didn't have it and I started using the shi-painter (not the pro) Now I am more used to that one.

I love the colors and background (I suck at backgrounds)

Parrot

STARZSHINE (Feb 10, 2008)

This parrot was inspired from a photo by JustinBlackStudios who was kind enough to let me use his wonderful photo of this beautiful bird. I will put his link later. But need to say to him thanks so very much! http://justinblackphotos.deviantart.com/art/Elegance-32547187

Uh, this is gorgeous, those feathers are so bright and colorful.

Felistorm (Feb 28, 2008)

LOL all the ones I'm finding that I want to comment on turn out to be yours. Keep it coming. You have some really great art on here.

I just noticed your icon pic and was curious to see what it looked like upclose. Cool! I love how vivid the colors are in this picture, it makes it so life-like. I've seen your other drawings of birds and I think this one is by far the best one. I don't think I could have done this in 20 hours, great job girl!

STARZSHINE (Feb 3, 2008)

Not much to say other than this is my first submission, and I really don't know how to use layers or any of the tools, lol, but just the basics, brushes and palate. oh well, it's a start anyway. the ref for this is compliments of justinblackstudios http://justinblackphotos.deviantart.com/art/Natural-2-29881444

Agree with all of the above. I have been around here and there for a little while and still can't come close to your first draw. Glad to see you here. This place will never be the same. :-)

I love outer space drawings and you've done a great job on this one!

EYE STUDY

STARZSHINE (Feb 6, 2008)

Thought I would try another applet, and I think I like this one better, Love the airbrush. Seems as though the colors are more saturated when uploaded than in the drawing for mat??? maybe it is just me,...lol

Hey honey, the tools in Lascaux are a little different, but not that much different and it has airbrush. If you look at the box with the different brushes you see a small point, then another, a square, solid circle, and a "softer circle". That's the airbrush and I love using it. If you just remember to adjust the flow and opacity (below the tool bar) you can get the look of good airbrushing and watercolor.

This is a really good eye. The lashes seem a bit thick (Tammy Faye.) but I love how you did the pupil. Keep it up.

davincipoppalag (Feb 6, 2008)

Beautiful . I don't use that one so I can't help you with it.

jpjp1052 (Feb 7, 2008)

Very nice, Starz. I think you are going to be making some amazing drawings on this site.

gel_o (Feb 9, 2008)

Wow, you've been busy on this site. This is VERY good, Starz!

Another fine drawing Starz! I have not tried anything yet on 2Draw but jpjp is really enjoying this site and I see that you are too! Keep em coming.

KuteDymples (Feb 10, 2008)

I just realizes Starz.....you are new here. I go look at so much art on these sites I see you so many places with your fine art. I just thought you had been here forever until I read that comment. Not that I take your art for granted. It is wonderful and I look forward to seeing it anywhere and everywhere. It blows me away! You have to be one of my favorite online artists.

Roytje (Feb 11, 2008)

Nice textures :)

MissA_sketches (Mar 19, 2008)

Awesome draw Starz! I just adore your use of vibrant colors and details! And congrats on using layers! I imagine it'll be a long while before I stick my toe in that "paint bucket"....lol.

Very nice Starzshine. Your work is most impressive!

I'm just wondering where the other boob is

davincipoppalag (Feb 9, 2008)

She had a mastectomy

STARZSHINE (Feb 9, 2008)

In the reference pic. you cant see the other breast, it is below the floral setting, from this angle you can't even see the swell of the breast, it again is to the side of the rib cage. There is another ref pic done from at the leg area level which shows this. In actuality the figure is at an extreme positioning and the back is arched sharpely at the neck and shoulders to the right which causes the other breast to be hidden off to the side. As "real" breasts would do. Almost under the armpit if you will...link http://flickr.com/photos/13099168@N08/2254221832/
