Wonderful job of capturing, not just her expression, but a sense of personality. There's such a twinkly spark in her left eye and world weary wisdom in her right. I love her old lady skin. You did good.

Thanks for the sweet comments. It isn't really finished, but at times, it wouldn't let me upload the revision I had just worked on. Several hour down the drain.

Expecting

EDIT: I'll add more to this some other time. It's out of proportion and sort of bugging me now, plus I can't draw hands to save my life. Oh well though, the thumbnail turned out pretty well.

I kind of feel like I've suddenly obtained more talent than I thought I had. I know this drawing isn't perfect, or even done for that matter, but I think my last two drawings are a big improvement from my previous ones. It's as though the way I see things has just changed and I suddenly understand better. I've never had any real training in art apart from some high school art classes, so I'm pretty self taught, and I feel rather proud of myself for improving.

Thank you. =)
And no, the rough lines aren't intentional, I'm a little rusty with lascaux sketch and am having trouble smoothing the lines. Any suggestions would be fantastic.
Also, the next piece I'm going to be doing will be much larger, I'm going to try and do my first advanced piece, so we'll see how that goes. :)

The blue triangle shaped tool smooths the lines out.

enirroc (Apr 10, 2010)

That's what I've been trying to use, but I think my biggest problem is that I didn't make the picture big enough, and when I zoom in to work on details, I can't get the brush small enough. I'll keep trying though.

if you turn down the flow a lot, the line gets smaller, and I think the smallest is 0.1 pixel, but you have to do that manually, not through [ and ] keys.

LAst year they put me on a medication called reglan for my stomach..and it ended up causing me to make breast milk as a side effect..it was not funny at all..I've been unable to have children for 14 years now..it freaked me out a bit actually..until they told me that reglan is also used on nursng mothers who don't produce enough milk on their own..very strange that a medicine used to digest your food for you would also produce breasdt milk.

enirroc (Apr 11, 2010)

do you think it would do that to people who haven't had kids before too?

backmagicwoman (Apr 11, 2010)

Yeah, it would...it's really weird..lol

firecracker (Apr 11, 2010)

Well, I'm not as old as flubadub thinks I am.....but I am a senior citizen....."lol". Actually.....my daughter is all grown up now, and she has two kids of her own.....so that makes me a grandmother, and I have four step-children.....and they all have kids of their own. Sooo....I have two granddaughters, and six step-grandchildren.......I guess that makes me "older than dirt"......"lolzzz"! :P

"Black Panther"......

firecracker (Apr 2, 2010)

One of my favorite big cats is the black panther.....so I saw this ref pic, and I thought I'd give it a try. Well.....I'm posting this as finished for now.......there's still some stuff that I want to work on.....but I think I fixed up the "out of focus" look to his face and eye area, and I added some whiskers...."lol". I'm still not satisfied with his tongue.....I'll deal with that later. I thank you guys for your comments and cc's......I hope he looks a little better. I really luv black panthers......:)
