your brushstrokes with the digital brush are very "digital" looking... I often find myself thinking, when I look at your paintings, that if they were actual paint strokes that your paintings would really be quite brilliant. Something about the roundness of the brushstrokes seems like a waste... like the viewer is cheated out of seeing the 'hand' in the work. This could almost be like a debate about digital vs. real painting. I strive when, I paint here, to constantly make those round, digital strokes not look so like they are done with a computer, as if I'm trying to pass my paintings on here as canvas paintings. You dont bother with that and just let yourself be free... hmmm.

This is digital, we don't need to pretend it's not. It's free and forgiving and the only thing you need to live up to is in your head.

..and I believe that if you sat down with a canvas it would come out just as beautiful. Different, because it's real paint, but just as beautiful.

I'm not sweet!!!lol....I have a back tooth (a very important, CHEWING tooth hah) that lost a crown a while back...can't do anything about it right now so sugar really hurts, but I'd take a happy face sticker or something. :D Seriously, tho, I meant what I said, I wasn't just being "nice", you have a very "whimsical", unusual talent. magicwoman can have my cookie :)

This was meant kind of--to be me. I used a make up mirror,and it's not exactly accurate, but, mostly, this is how I look,not finished, without my Titanium copper-metal rimmed glasses on. And, it's not finished, but it was meant more to be a sketch,with a smile, not so technical.Not drawn myself in a while. so i can do some more and see what I think Yes, my neck really is long,and I have high cheek bones,very fair skin,and dark-gold hair(I used to be a redhead.) I was good looking, so getting old is really painful. I was egotistical about my looks, dammnit.
