No, I meant the general "art rules" you learn as you go...the ones it's okay to break once you know them, :) not the rules here. I still think the whole thing is fine, it flows and the main attention is drawn to her beautiful eyes.. and, of course, the biting of her lip. I wouldn't have noticed anything about the nose at all if someone hadn't mentioned it. I wish I were capable of doing something well besides photorealism. It gets really tiring at times. I like your style.

Yeah that's pretty much what I thought you meant there! I just get annoyed when people think that an artwork is "good" only because it looks like a photo. I know it takes alot of work and is very difficult to achieve but in general it's something I don't particularly find interesting but there are always exceptions to that... I think that everyone is capable of forming their own style but style in itself is hard to define. If you are really getting tired of it, you might want to stray away from photorealism for awhile...

This is wonderful. I wish I had the talent to try anything but semi-adequate photorealism.

(lol @ snort) :)... I hate to work poor lil' ole' Bob's fingers to the bone, but I am dying to know what Larry's estranged, yet violent and psychopathic wife is going to do to him when she catches him rounding that corner with that big fat smile and 20 bucks less in his wallet.... Talk about needing paramedics, now. ;)

Hey, I thought that guy was dead.....aw man......now I gotta cancel the funeral arrangements. What a second, who was the guy we had embalmed......oh well. -very hummerous-

hmmm i wonder how she re-inflated him, if you know what i mean! :P
Lol, very funny. This guy better be careful before he loses all his money!

the bridge of the nose looks a bit too squareish and the eyes are a little too far apart, but other that that, I really like this.

Thanks, everybody. I think everyone feels like this sometimes XP

Yeah, hideyourface, I noticed about the eyes when I was nearly done, and tried to shift them over, but the select tool in lascaux gives me hives, so eventually I just left it alone.

YEAH I KNOW. The select in lascaux is a bitch.

This is one of the best drawings on this site.

Amazing depth of color and texture, and what a different choice of subject.

Was a fine piece

knew it was him right away! ah Buscemi....he's a one of a kind! go see Fargo if you haven't...it's Buscemi to the max.

This is so good, Moosh. I say "Wow!" every time I look at it.

buwhahaha i love the big forehead

his nose looks like a penis

:D Yea his latest movies are not that good, and his nose is wierd, but who knows. All I really know is, he is in a movie, that I think he directed as well, called "Bottle Rocket" I love that movie and he played a good character in it.


BTW cool drawing Thug

Haha
this is great Owen is funny !

Bennie? Not with those Hercule Poirot whiskers. Something very European. Maurice or Fabrizio or Gustave. Fernando, Emile, or Dieter. It's a lovely painting of a dragon--the expression, the bold colours/highlights, whimsical background--all works together wonderful well.

Ty! I like Maurice or Emile, but I think I'm going to call him Victor (like my brother, because he has that smirk on his face sometimes ..hehehe:P).

O! Victor is perfect. Hhhhssssss.

Yea..that's how I recognized it.. I lived across the river in jersey..brother lived in Phila

giggling at the title. I think this composition deserves to march into hyperRealism. I could turn this into something that looks like a photograph for you in less than 20 hours. But you have to send me a Phila pretzel first.

should I send the mustard too?

Hey, look at it this way, things that were in style 20+ years ago are coming back into style. If you look at it that way dressing like an "old" man is fashionable, right? Now if you have fond memories of riding around on dinosaurs as a kid, then your old.

I dress like that all the time too...cept for the hat
