"...Down pour on my soul. Splashing in the ocean, I'm losing control. Dark sky all around, I can't feel my feet touching the ground. But if I can't swim after forty days and my mind is crushed by the crashing waves, Lift me up so high that I can not fall Lift me up.- When I'm falling, Lift me up - I'm weak and I'm dying, Lift me up - I need you to hold me, Lift me up - Keep me from drowning again..."

Great work

if I had to draw the two angels that I saw at my bedside when I was really sick with pneumonia, they would look like this, only more concerned looking... but they were this heavenly blue color.. it was so weird... I've often thought about drawing them but didn't think I could do it

dorothyblueeyes (Sep 15, 2012)

reminds me of old magazine illustrations, or cartooning style, with that foreshortening effect.maybe it's the face and nose,too.but very much drowning effect, alright,and reminded me instantly of Michelle Pfieffer (?spelling) movie where her husband has killed,drowned his other wife.

this is particularly a difficult type of scene to depict.from films, & photos of a body, & face drowning,the light diffusion from above, thru the water,can be tricky, & have strange effects, shadows that are hard to predict.

while this is good,(yes, very nice blue)I myself would want to use a real photo,film,or even a model somehow to see how the depth of water,clearness,ect., affects the overall picture. (we have had artists, here, who did some very good depictions of bodies submerged, and i don't know how they did it;it's hard.) so, yes, pretty good and ambitious. If you're still interested, there are movies with drowning,or deepwater scenes of bodies worth studying.any experiences from life, swimming, diving, or just underwater could be helpful.(quite a coup you got marcello to comment.:) ) yep, this is a particularly difficult type of scene to paint; i think it's good. (sorry if I seem too analytical, i'm used to being that way on myself.)

Was he outside on the phone? I've done that, it's fun to sit in a hammock and get eaten by mosquitos while talking on the phone. Anyway, welcome back. 8D

how is nearly 2 hours all day?

Marienkind (edited Aug 7, 2003)

1hr 46min 11sec... all day would literally be 24 hours, or 8 hours (standard work hours). as nice as the picture is, the length of time you said you made it doesn't correspond to the timer.

RabidMalikFanGirl (edited Aug 10, 2003)

Kawaii!!! But erm... She could have... sketched it out on paper and redid it a couple times that would... last all day?

mr. robot is sexsay. what does "W.M" stand for?

marcello (edited Aug 6, 2003)

I thik this style is pretty cool, but I wonder if it'd be even better if you made multiple layers of the 'sketch'. for example, take the sketchy layer you have now, make it 25% opacity, then draw another at 50% on top of that.

Zappo (edited Aug 6, 2003)

W.M. Stands for Waste Management.......hmm sweet deal macrello im going to do that with my smart shopper pic...
