wow lor..good job..the shadows on the flower make itlook realistic and the bird as always ...i just wish the bg had more something....gradient color..a horizon? dunno

LovelyLori (edited Aug 4, 2004)

ya me too, kinda... all of these bird books we have, the backgrounds are very unfocused, most of them anyway... of course, they want to focus mainly on the birds... but... doesn't make life easy for copycats such as myself... hehe

"Smiley & Grumpy"

gloworm043 (Apr 15, 2004)

Inspired by other pet pic's...and by my brother's dog, Samie, who actually squints his eyes and smiles all over his face when you walk in the door. I tried to capture his expression in my picture. The grumpy one is taken from memories of our beagle Misty..who was ...grumpy!

that one looks like a luck dragon..and he was creepy too

Pantera (Apr 17, 2004)

They are cute but I think the eyes look to much like people eyes, maby if you make them round it look more like animals.

davincipoppalag (Apr 17, 2004)

Yea...the eyes ,especially with eyebrows, do look too human. Its a nice picture but they don't look "doggy" enough.

gloworm043 (Apr 18, 2004)

Yes, your right... they do look too human...I thought that too...but couldn't get them right...I started out on this pic as a practice using the copy tool...but it turned out to be struggle trying to make them not look like 'copies'..while trying to show, by facial expression, the differences in their personalities...thanks guys for your input..it helps..I'll keep your tips in mind for my next animal drawing.:) :)

It came from the very talented mind of Icats.... In the thumb this looks like a bronze statue.Very cool light and shadow.

staci (Apr 17, 2004)

hehe..still awake too? sooo sleepy..thanks dave

Kloxboy (Apr 17, 2004)

That's pretty tight. A lot of style in this, pieces of color, strokes making up this beautiful dramatic lighting on this female.

RavioloiTheDancingClown (Apr 18, 2004)

finally something with some STYLE.....! this site has no style... only realisism....

Don't ask where I got the idea. Just wonder why I had to draw it.

Yes, it is too realistic looking, it makes me sick, yet strangely intrigued.....
It's a really good draw, but I feel bad for my tennis guy because he has to see this all the time. >:(

LovelyLori (Apr 17, 2004)

sometimes we have to get these things outta our heads or they just dwell there forever... I understand, lol... this is awesome... too funny, poor birdie

davincipoppalag (Apr 17, 2004)

There was a leak in the birdbath,so the birdie called a plumber..and the plumber forgot his pants. Great pic lol

Xodiak (Apr 18, 2004)

The little birdy is going inside its little nest.... Ohhhh.... Soooo cute.... <:D

Sude Jacket

Pandora (Apr 17, 2004)

Trying to make her look real, maybe I'm using to many tones. Help all artist please.

dixielandcutie (Apr 17, 2004)

hmm...i'm not so good at realism myself, but here's just some observations...maybe some more white in her eye....and...use a thin brush tho make individual hair strands, with a really low opacity, like 60 or 70. thats all i can think of...i think you did a pretty darn good job though...hehe, and the jacket looks really cool :)

davincipoppalag (Apr 17, 2004)

I don't think this is bad. I can' t do faces or I would offer some help..

staci (Apr 17, 2004)

its harder to make faces more real when they are smaller..to me. if you are going to work on such a small canvas try to do just the face to fill the whole space..or zoom in to make details and subtle skin tone changes..this isnt bad tho..id not make a full line around her whole eye..give her a pupil or two ; ) and her nostrils a little closer together with a little more shadow under the nose, perhaps
