I am hoping this one looks allright. In the midst of drawing it my kids were acting up and I guess emotions about other things hit and I kinda got all emotional. :( Anyways off to decide whether to go to bed or draw something else.

I am loving the colours you've used in this! the peachy orange of the nipples is so beautiful against the deep purple and soft gray-blue of the sky. It's one of my favourite 'poses', too. I have a similar drawing I've done over and over again. It looks simple...but it ain't! The soft shading on the face, neck and side are lovely. If you do any more on it, maybe some shading on the under side of the hip? Beautiful skin tones.

looks peacefully, and I agree [ said above ] about the shading.

Very elegant picture.

Quickie is too similar to her ref. What use is a drawing if it's simply a copy of the truth? A copy of the truth is just that, the truth, and lies are a dozen times more interesting. What the heck does Allen Ginsberg want? Why is America so easy to generalize? Why do we believe everything we see on the television? Can't we think for ourselves anymore? Could we ever. What will become of our computers when the Electricty takes off her clothes I can not think of what I would rather want a toothbrush or a toothpick why do i think so much when i draw and why can't i stop thinking now im okay

I think this is a very effective picture. I tell myself that I copy the truth in order to teach myself to really see something, not just glance at it, make a snap judgement, store it in a vague memory or dismiss it. I love to draw but I do not have a natural facility for noticing visual details and storing them in my 'mind's eye'. Work that is copied or referenced directly from a source is rarely something that will elicit an emotional response from me, though I may admire the technical skill displayed. I want to believe there is a stage or phase in one's development of skill where the urge to 'speak' or express one's feelings or thoughts melds with one's technical abilities and something I think of as Art happens. I'm not there.
Renuar (Jan 23, 2006)
it's a great drawing, with a nice idea behind it.
mx (Jan 23, 2006)
as terracotta mentioned between the technical skill vs. expression....i have a great conflict between the two myself. I want to do the realism as this great pic, yet, i wanna be freed from the technical restrictions. I have not found my style either and its causing a great deal of frustration i must say.
Great technical piece though for the time spent

This is a quickie? Wow, amazing. Very well done, you've captured the alert mood of the bird perfectly.

snazzy as usual. I wish you could just leave all your drawings as unfinished, that way you wouldnt delete everyone of them but the option will be there.

Hey, make that hand give that guy his teeth back. That's just mean. heeheehee. I love this. Even the background makes me feel happy.

when I first looked at this I thought, he's got him nailed, even with the over knobby head. now I see it's a caricature of the man and I love it even more. I bet he'd be flattered by this.... maybe....

I love the dress, it's really nice color red, and colors, this is great. :)
Ceido (Jan 21, 2006)
The texture of that dress is really cool. Looks like one of the ones that is supposed to be really really creased. Nice skin tones too. :)
SYTHE (Jan 22, 2006)
looks sexy, and I agree, "patience is overrated"!
terracotta (Jan 23, 2006)
The way you've used your colour palette in this drawing is excellent, especially in your shadows. Beautiful! The girl; her face, neck, arms and parts of the hand are shaded to give the impression of dimension. That gets lost as the eye moves to the dress...the picture takes on a flat look where the fabric of the dress meets the background. I think a more detailed edge and shading/highlighting on the fabric would integrate it into the dimensional feeling you've gotten at the top of the picture. The hand needs to 'sink into' the fabric of the dress a little so that it looks connected to the body. You've put a lot of work into this and it shows. A little bit more and it will dance right into 'Wow!'. Patience, without reason, is a stupid waste of time. Patience applied with intelligent forethought can mean the difference between mediocrity and excellence. Sometimes. Sweeping generalizations are overrated.

"Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend, inside of a dog it's too dark to read" (my favorite quote)
terracotta (Jan 21, 2006)
There's a psychological atttitude of self-loathing that I call the Groucho Syndrome from this quote "I wouldn't want to join a club that would have me as a member." And one I live by..."I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book." Love your portrait of him, Bob.

............ wha comment oh yeah um yes i like her wings very nice.............
davincipoppalag (Jan 20, 2006)
Yea mike..it's the face..yes .. The right hand looks a little funky? I think that part to the right of the thumb is what makes it look like that. Pretty
SYTHE (Jan 21, 2006)
Either the right hand is too big or the left one is too small, but somehow that wasn't the first thing I noticed.......uhhhh boobies. ~giggle, giggle~ sexy pic
terracotta (Jan 21, 2006)
She's Michele Pfiffer-pretty and the pose is provocative. Wondering about the significance of black wings...
Critiques: Hands have already been mentioned so, the top of her right arm is too curved and the area above the clavicle, where the side of her neck connects to the top of her shoulder needs to be smoother. The drop of that line is too severe. You've done some lovely, subtle shading on the body but none at all on the face. I hope you'll keep working on this one, it's a great start.

terracotta (Jan 23, 2006)
Nice composition and a good start. Couple of things: the line between her nose and bottom lip is a bit too straight...maybe a fuller upper lip? And the shadow for the scapula bones in the back are too straight across. If I can find a reference pose for that part of the body I'll send it to you. The desaturated colours you've used with the night sky work very well.
