Ladybugs make me think of my boyfriend because there was one by him one time when we were talking.

Expecting

enirroc (Apr 9, 2010)

EDIT: I'll add more to this some other time. It's out of proportion and sort of bugging me now, plus I can't draw hands to save my life. Oh well though, the thumbnail turned out pretty well.

I kind of feel like I've suddenly obtained more talent than I thought I had. I know this drawing isn't perfect, or even done for that matter, but I think my last two drawings are a big improvement from my previous ones. It's as though the way I see things has just changed and I suddenly understand better. I've never had any real training in art apart from some high school art classes, so I'm pretty self taught, and I feel rather proud of myself for improving.

Thank you. =)
And no, the rough lines aren't intentional, I'm a little rusty with lascaux sketch and am having trouble smoothing the lines. Any suggestions would be fantastic.
Also, the next piece I'm going to be doing will be much larger, I'm going to try and do my first advanced piece, so we'll see how that goes. :)

Flubbles (Apr 10, 2010)

The blue triangle shaped tool smooths the lines out.

enirroc (Apr 10, 2010)

That's what I've been trying to use, but I think my biggest problem is that I didn't make the picture big enough, and when I zoom in to work on details, I can't get the brush small enough. I'll keep trying though.

vlad.the.hamster (Apr 10, 2010)

if you turn down the flow a lot, the line gets smaller, and I think the smallest is 0.1 pixel, but you have to do that manually, not through [ and ] keys.

this is really cool lori.. love the 3 eye affect :)

Suntan (edited Mar 15, 2010)

damn...
well, it's gone, but i will comment for your other one anyway because i thought it was fantastic. I thought the comment you left on it was equally wonderful. It felt to me oddly connected to what your son is studying. like that subject pervaded your subject. It was great, I hope you saved it.
I wouldn't be surprised if he/you already know about these but;
read the book, Night by Eli Weisel? It's about the Holocaust through the eyes of a 15 year old, may be too old for your son, but read it anyway.
look at the documentary and all that it includes of "The Paper Clip Project" http://whitwellschoolmiddle.org/homepage_pc.cfm?id=78

Good job :)

lori (Mar 15, 2010)

yeah, I didn't much like that other one... thanks Suntan... I will look into that book for him, he's 14

Outer space... the next frontier? After we explore the universe, I wonder what is outside of it? So much to discover, multiple lives are not enough...

lynnandcharlie (Apr 5, 2010)

there is so much mystery out there, you are right, multiple lives are not enough

starsh (Apr 6, 2010)
