A departure from me for here, but I used to draw cartoons all the time for my kids when they were little... I drew the pictures and they made up the stories... they liked it better than watching TV and I figured it was a little more intellectually stimulating for them.

Your drawing really evokes emotion. It looks a bit like the sky accompanying a mushroom cloud - I've spent a lot of time with ASG. *s*

Gigge (Jul 8, 2004)

It's a beautiful, lonely bird. Love the highlights on the rolling clouds.

wonderful ,but i cant believe that you draw it in2 mins.

featheredfriend (Jul 20, 2004)

Almost 2 weeks since you last added a picture. If I didn't know better I'd think you had better things to do. *wink*

This is wonderful. Your daughter seems very happy! You did a very nice job!

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jul 8, 2004)

I wonder if your daughters know how lucky they are to have such a talented father who obviously loves them very much and is able to depict their vibrant beauty.

Axil62 (Jul 8, 2004)

What a wonderful thing to say, thank you very much.

So you have two daughters? And they're both this beautiful? Lucky man.

Edit: Seen your youngest, seen your oldest. But I still don't know how many girls you have. All I know is they're beautiful and probably taking after their mother. I mean because of the very lovely and distinct asian features, not that they couldn't have inherited their good looks fro.. ah forget it.

Well done, it looks so real, I never know what to say about your drawings, seems like all has been said already :) All of your work is amazing.

It's hard to believe, but I think that entire rock island is made up of bird poop.

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jun 29, 2004)

You really think so? Pretty gulls and water, anyway. :)

Rosemary (Jun 29, 2004)

nice drawing :)

davincipoppalag (Jun 29, 2004)

This is quite nice. I am partial to marine scenes. I would like this better with more sharpness and definition in the water, but it is a very nice picture.

I really had fun doing this piece. It turned out better than I imagined. :-) I can definitley see an improvement in my work now. I wonder if I am yet able to advance to the next board or do I still need more practice?

sal (Jun 28, 2004)

its pretty good, nice pic... but i think u still need abit more practise..
the colours look flat, plus theres no highlights and shadin...
also the line art is kinda jaged, maybe u should use the pen tool or watercolour tool to get smother lines... just a suggestion anyway...

xwindflyer (Jun 29, 2004)

cute dragon, i like it.

Gigge (Jun 29, 2004)

I don't know this character, but he's very colorful. I think Sal's right. This is awfully cute, but playing around with shading might be good practice before trying an 'intermediate' piece.

cravenlass (Jun 30, 2004)

I will do my best :-) I thought I would post a link to familiarize some of you with this Neopet. http://www.neopets.com/search.phtml?string=Miquire I was going to apply for her but the owner received some really bad requests so she decided it was best to remove it from the data base. Good expereince though.
