My very first. Just trying to figure out all the tools. Looks like this will be fun but, I'll need to take some time to figure out how all this works.

But if the ovals weren't there it wouldn't have reminded me of the spiraley mosquitoe thingy at the drive in, and... I figured it had to be someone else in the Mod Squad that deleted it. On the time thing, though, I really think drawings should be judged first on artistic merit, and then if it totally sucks, look at the time spent, see if more time could have made it better, and then decide whether or not to delete it. I'm sure you already do that most of the time, but I have seen some real junk in here that is just annoying to even scroll past, and this one is interesting. Tea, anyone? :)

That's how it is now, look at the rules.

8 minutes, and then 4 minutes. Someone was just messing around with the different tools and stuff. The only real tangible thing is the mushroom, the rest looks like randomly places ovals (are they there for a reason? if so, what's the reason?). What about the colors? Are they chosen for a reason? I think it's deletable material, but I don't know if I would bother actually deleting it (I didn't). The thing that really bothers me is the neon green squigly lines along the bottom which doesn't help the piece at all.

The rules:

This doesn't mean you can't post 5 or 10 minute sketches, but they have to be good 5 or 10 minute sketches, and they should be mixed with pictures you put more time into. Although there is something to be learned from quick sketches in traditional art, we strongly discourage submitting these sketches.

I don't think it's that great for a quick sketch even for beginner stuff.

As for whether drawings should be judged on artistic merit, I think there's still an acceptable "bottom line" as to what is just spam.

I thought the green squiggly lines at the bottom were grass. The ovals (in my eye) were a clay pot & lid to gather the mushrooms. But then, Dejas my sister so I know how she thinks. :) Or maybe not.

DejaView's first pic here

Axil62 (Mar 2, 2004)

Why did someone delete her first pic here? It was done on the beginner board, 13 min, lookedbetter than a good deal of the crap that's on there now. This is probably her first and last time here. I want to share what she had to say to me in a memo "I did it on the beginner board....newcomer board even. Cripes...it was my first damn drawing. Screw this site and these people if this is what it's going to be like. I have better things to do and other ways of expressing myself with my art. " I d...

Trumpet

Axil62 (Mar 2, 2004)

This is a picture of a guy that was trying to show off by playing his bugle with no hands....well his head fell off and that's what he gets. Yup, a real slacker this guy. I guess it's true what they say "if your gonna play a bugle with no hands, you gotta pay by getting a horn jamed in your mouth after your head falls off in front of the old pirate discount store." Yeah, so true, so true.

Landscapes huh?

EverDream (Feb 28, 2004)

Em.....follow the yellow brick road?
No really, the reason I do linework well with mouse is because of practice...and I've also had LOADS of practice with a pencil. Personally I like the tablet but I think I still work just as well with a mouse because I've trained my hand to work steadily with it. Any one just starting with either is going to have problems....>.>....um any who....yeah. ^^;

A Great Tip for Tablet Users

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Feb 27, 2004)

I don't know how many ppl know this or already do it, but a friend shared it with me so I thought I'd share it with yall. I have a Wacom and don't know if it works with other types of tablets, but if you put about 3 pcs of typing paper over your tablet, it gets rid of that slippery feel when you draw, and it becomes more like using real tools, and you have more control. It doesn't affect the pressure sensitivity or anything. It takes a few minutes to get used to it, but I like it better that way...

a cloud

Axil62 (Feb 21, 2004)

I was driving to the casino on Friday, I looked to the west from Airport Blvd. and saw a single cloud. It struck me as slightly odd, this lonely single little cloud just hanging there in the middle of a crisp blue sky over the Rocky Mountains. A minute later when I reached the I-70 exit I looked again and it was gone. I made a mental note and wished I had remembered my camera. So this is from memory, best I could remember. I was thinking of adding something surreal later to make it more interesting.

Did you grow it yourself, or did the aliens leave it for you to test? :)

Kloxboy (Feb 27, 2004)

Was the alien Jamaican? was he laughing? a quote for you "For $400 I got Jerry Garcia in a pouch, man!"
