I am learning to draw faces that don't all look the same, and since I practice a lot in my sketch book, and in my photo manipulation program (GIMP), I though I would practice here, too. I'm getting more comfortable with the drawing, and like to try other programs. I wish this program had a smudge function, tho'.

pretty, it has blend, you can kinda get the same effect with that

Sweetcell (Jan 21, 2007)

Blend is much better than smudge, especially if there are different tones that blend into each other. Take advantage of it. Just avoid the blur tool, and if you use it use it sparingly. Nice picture Ran.

You always did like to draw Randy... I'm very happy it's worked out as a career for you :)

I just saw an actual commercial where they said that. The pregnancy test wasn't called "XJ200"....but you get the point. HAHA!

Men who start to go bald, shave their heads and retain their self confidence are much sexier than a man with a full head of hair, even. Comb overs are just..... EWWW, gross. What man would want a woman that would base her attraction to him on whether or not he had hair, anyway? I don't understand the logic in it.

I love your cartoons. I still think you should have a line of cards... you really ought to pursue that.

lori (edited Jan 19, 2007)

thank you, I'm just so damn lazy
My father used to do the comb over for years, then my son was born and he loved messing it up so he finally shaved it... much needed makeover... it was hilarious messed up though :)

davincipoppalag (Jan 19, 2007)

I agree with Cindy.. that dork line would sell like hotcakes...(especially the ones with combovers))

Sweetcell (edited Jan 19, 2007)

I was introduced to a friends friends sister's boyfriend who had a combover, I've seen a few but I never saw one this bad and obvious (and the man was just barely middleage) It took a hell of a lot of control not to laugh whenever I looked his way. And the idiot thought he looked hot. God, just shave the damn thing off. Your not fooling anyone (besides yourself)

Oh, ditto to the card thing. I've seen plenty of cartoons like these in the funny section.

very painterly indeed! to me it looks like the guy from 'Friends' in a very pensive moment. Another nice one no.

Caddris (Jan 19, 2007)

I like the muted colors. Everytime I try and use a muted pallet my pictures turn out bland.

Fiesta (Jan 19, 2007)

I love your work. :DD

Fish out of Water

pandabarrie (Jan 16, 2007)

i was thinking to myself today, i have no idea how people can use lascaux...so i decided, that before giving up on it completely, i should try one last time to use it.
im actually a little pleased with what i came up with.
true its no work of axil, redpanda, DBA, staci, everdream, cello, and many others here, but hey, its a start.
maybe i will start putting about 90% more effort into stuff i do.
how about that?
and how about flying pigs?

lausaux is really hard for me to use... and i think this turned out well.
the pixels for highlights look really nice ^^

davincipoppalag (Jan 17, 2007)

Keep playing with it ..you'll end up liking all the capabilities it has.. This is very well done and interesting...! Now draw Cindy in the Snow hunting flying hogs with that stovepipe cannon she's been hunting deer with~

pandabarrie (Jan 18, 2007)

thank you :)
umm im not sure i know what cindy in the snow is... :[

Sweetcell (Jan 18, 2007)

It looks like someone put his bowl on top of the stove and set the temp to high. Poor thing. Love the coloring and the sparklies.

That's almost exactly how our sky looked yesteday morning...ominous. but..then the sun broke through and the sky was crystal blue.. (and I was freezing!) lol I love this kind of picture

Fiesta (Jan 17, 2007)

So pretty! :DD
Wish I was there, it looks better than -15 degree weather. o.o;

lori (Jan 18, 2007)

thank you lovely people

Sweetcell (Jan 21, 2007)

It almost looks like the clouds are waves crashing in the sky, especially the one on the right. I do like this. Looks more serene then ominous.
