Wow! I just discovered that this happened. I'm in shock. I'll have to see if I can find my old Wacom tablet. Haven't used it in....a long time.

Fantastic soft skin.
Flubbles (Oct 10, 2011)
Very nice, I like the style. It's not 100% photo realistic, I can definitely see some anime influence for some reason.
Imperfect (edited Oct 10, 2011)
Thanks everyone for the comments, and Flubbles, flattering that you think it nice (your art's amazing by the way, but I'm sure you already knew that :P) ...Ironically, I don't like anime, never watch it even, lol.

I did this a while ago. I was experimenting with the texture tools to try and mimic watercolour with a textured paper effect. It likely doesn't belong on the advanced board, but I hope it gives some of you some ideas.

It's beautiful! And it does look like watercolor.
Suntan (May 27, 2010)
hmmm..I missed this! wow, you really did do a great job recreating watercolor. It's lovely, like a cove of a larger lake. Quite familiar looking! :)
jekyll (May 27, 2010)
Thank you, all. I've never really tried using watercolour to paint with and to be honest, it never really appealed to me. Lately, however, Ive gained an interest in it and have been studying various techniques on the web. I hope to give it a try in the near future. I made this scene up but there are many places like this in the area where I live. I suppose it's time I start taking advantage of it. It'd be a good excuse to just sit by a lake, anyway.
Suntan (Jun 24, 2010)
Have you been taking advantage of it yet? :)

fantastic. i'm sure you could work from setups, too, the real objects.-- if you don't already. (why are there all these great artists here, after most my drawing career is almost over? i have done scratchboards similar to this, & you have to use photo reference cause scratchboard is so detailed. it's an old medium, but you would be good at it, yer work is so perfect. i love this.
Catapumblamblam (edited Mar 20, 2012)
Yes, it's coming from a photo, I wrote it somewhere in previous messages.
Human brain can't elaborate all minimal light/ghadows variation of the reality, we can't always recognize where we should use white in shadow or grey in light. Human brain it's able to understand what is Blue (just for example), also if red enlighted, but if this light it's strong, you can simulate it in a draw, if it's light, mixed ti shadow variations and other ambient color minilam reflections, you can't!
In a Photo there is not he same color in two different zones, also if there is the same material/object/paint and light!
To do that work, we need a reference pic. At least up to today I can't really think some one do it without a Photo reference.
And again, thenks to all!

@ philominalove I can't believe! a scammer also in this site! -.-" please go to do that otherwhere.

Discussions up until 2010, no wonder this looks familiar. I wonder what the ref looks like.

There is nothing wrong with a nude and this one is interesting, the pose, leather seating. Very well done indeed! Love all the lighting on the torso.

My aunt used to say vaginas came in two categories...
1...Outies: all the idividual folds are sort of out and visible right away..like a box full of baby cow tongues...


2.,,,Innies...where all your tender parts are nice and tucked in giving the vagina the appearance of an egg with a small slit all the way down it...


I agree with this as I have seen many naked women..I guess when it comes to vagina, though, it's just a matter of ''taste''...Hahahaha!!!...
This is hidden because it is rated 18+. Edit your privacy settings to make it visible.

The real Easter Egg.



I remember making these with my mom and grandma during Easter. Good memories.
This was as hard to draw as dying an actual Pysanka..... except no wax....... or dye....... or candle....... or kistky.

Happy eat the chocolate rabbit butt first instead of the ears day everyone.

Thank you.

This looks a lot like romanian easter eggs. So.. easter eggs and cabbage rolls, tradition and cuisine. It seems we have common ancestors. And it makes sense - our countries share a border.

Nice! P. Glass provided some really cool music for this project I saw last summer. Check out the brief vid here: http://www.lifethroughtime.com/music.html

I like how some of his work inspires images of life and some of it inspires images of death. :D

Wanted to play with using a different tool than usual. This is all done with the pen tool on one setting (except for a plain fill BG and some airbrush to shade the stool). Trying for a pencil sketch look.

axil, i specifically said, that i was not making a comment toward you, your marriage, or your cartoon. in fact, i mentioned abuse only in the instance that the advance was unwelcome. to accuse me of insulting her culture seems harsh, but i'll take it. wasn't intended as such. zack, i agree. my comment was a general reaction to the statement, despite the fact i knew it wasn't intended in that way.

i apologize for any harm done by my only semi-related thought.
Axil62 (Mar 22, 2006)
Oh ok, well that's fine then. :)

"I like how the right side looks like she has a man back with a big dent in it! Like her man back side was in a big bar fight one night because this one guy took all the pretzels and one thing lead to another and ole' half man back thought she should get up and do something about it but then the other guy had a friend who usually doesn't come to that bar, no he usually goes to the 4 U lounge, but he went there this time and when ole' half man back stood up he knew he had to have his buddy's back... his buddy was a man so his whole back was a man back, not like this lady's back, but anyway, so he saw ole' half man back get up to do something about something an he slammed her upper right shoulder area with an extra 4 inch lead pipe he happened to be carrying around, not his good one that he had in his coat pocket for something else, but his extra one. So that's what I like about this picture when I look at it."

I'd just like to ask Zack one last question here. Is this what you call, 'formal criticism'? Of course, you could be referring to criticism given to terracotta by people besides Axil. But I'm pretty sure terracotta's posts were in response to Axil. Although, I haven't had 50 yrs of experience myself, I've never heard of giving criticism in 'tell-a-funny-story' form in any of my classes. And I can assure you, if that were the case, I wouldn't waste my money or time on such an unprofessional school.
Zack (Mar 24, 2006)
No. What I was agreeing with Axil about was the issue of sexual abuse re: his cartoon. His critique was informal and absurd. I do not consider the issue of the picture being finished relevant to an analysis of the motivation behind any critique, formal or informal, since critiques on finished pictures are just as legitimate as critiques on works-in-progress.

The absurdity of Axil's comment speaks for itself, and to imply that he was being meanspirited for pointing out flaws in a finished picture demonstrates to me a lack of understanding of the nature of artistic critique in a learning environment. That is to say, Axil may have been meanspirited in his comment (I can't tell), but that has nothing to do with the fact that he was criticizing a finished picture.
