Are you using mostly the watercolor tool? These are truly wonderful. They're making me want to start drawing again.

me, too!!

I hope you do start drawing again :) No I'm using the pen tool mostly, on very very low opacity. When I first joined the watercolor tool on Oekaki was my favorite tool ever.. but it's been awhile since I've used it, I'm not as good with it anymore so nowadays I just stick to the pen tool, although there are still effects I don't know how to acheive with it..

Great capture of her expression and the colors are perfect (orange/blue compliments). Dan did one from this photo awhile back, I think.

OH MY GOSH! lolol...I just happened to come here and there I am! What a beautiful job you did on this! Wow!
I am so flattered that you'd use me as a subject! Big hugs and thank you..what a sweet thing to do! Lovely piece of art! (yeah, now I have 3 colors these days...brown, blonde and gray)

Maybe they all thought you were a girl because you have a girl's portrait as a profile image.

Maybe. That girl is my crappy attempt at lily allen.

Black Bird looks great! Nice nice nice...I love all of these portraits!!

Beautiful!! and I adore the hat, too!!

I like this one the best so far. Good stuff.

Very nice work..!

So very nice! Your talent is amazing...♥

nice...

Handsome brow and nose. Very PRETTY eyes and mouth. Oh oh. Great job Shell.

WOW! Kloxboy looks excellent! Beautiful art wowowow!

I've seriously underestimated cross hatching in the past, I might give it a go sometime.

Ah, nice. I love Elvgren. I think it's fun now and then to try to mimic a style. And you did a good job with that.

Hey, did you name it recently?

I have a book on Elvgren, its on display in my bookcase. One of my prized possessions.
@Dot, I have been looking into art classes, none that tickled my fancy a lot.
@Shell, not so much as a problem with drawing from drawings, I've done quite a few, it'd just be so nice to use real people and see how much I could improve (or the opposite)

Yeah I did, it's what I was going to name it all along, we also did a version on RMD with the same title.

*hugs lori*

:)

They can't smile. You have to gauge their mood by body language. The colors are so yummy.

Why thank you Tim, I didn't know you cared.

Great draw!

What a pretty girl! Please do not pull the trigger! Let's go to a dinner! I will cook a human baby for you! >;)
