welcome.. I'm pretty new too still learning the tools..stick with it though.. Lascaux has alot to offer...

Welcome to 2draw Axil's Sis!

youre Axils sis? helloooooo

so seriously, what do people think on this one?

hey, you ressurected it. it's nice for a startup picture, though i'm not too much of a fan of those ovals. they're a bit random.

I honestly think it's a cool abstract, and very good for a first one here. And I think we should boil them and make tea, so we can all lighten up around here. lol

And hey, that thing on the right reminds me of those spiraley mosquitoe repellers my parents used to fire up in the station wagon at the drive-in when I was a kid. Brought back a pleasant memory. :) Except, of course, for the part where they back-handed me and my brother and told us to quit hanging out the windows and go to sleep. :)

i try not to judge beginner stuff, look at my first one. it blows. in other words, this one kinda blows but its not to say you wont improve.

artists have made money on pieces worse than this. I say let it stay if DejasVeiw will keep contributing, although I wouldn't blame her for not drawing here, I've come very close to quiting drawing here twice because of being pissed off at the site.

It's ok, it'd probably look much better without those green ovals on the right.

eh? are you talking about this?

I'm not sure if you're saying that that's a good thing or not. As I've mentioned before, just because you make money off it, doesn't make it good. (Take microsoft, for example.)

As I've mentioned before, I didn't delete it. And I probably wouldn't have, just because it's in that grey area.

Don't forget the number one rule of 2draw. I should probably add a less subtle clause about not submitting if you're just trying to learn the tools.

There really cannot be double standards. Say, if my brother drew something that should be deleted, I will not be any less likely to delete it because he is my brother. And I wouldn't throw a tantrum if another moderator deleted it.

Back to the drawing. If you chop off the right side of the pic, it looks pretty cool. The color choice and composition for everything except those green ovals is actually pretty good. The ovals just clash in style and color with everything else. And look like someone just trying all the buttons in the program. (Not that there is anything wrong with that.)

opinions are subjective.. beauty is in the eye of the beholder.. I like it too.

: ) i like it

But if the ovals weren't there it wouldn't have reminded me of the spiraley mosquitoe thingy at the drive in, and... I figured it had to be someone else in the Mod Squad that deleted it. On the time thing, though, I really think drawings should be judged first on artistic merit, and then if it totally sucks, look at the time spent, see if more time could have made it better, and then decide whether or not to delete it. I'm sure you already do that most of the time, but I have seen some real junk in here that is just annoying to even scroll past, and this one is interesting. Tea, anyone? :)

That's how it is now, look at the rules.

8 minutes, and then 4 minutes. Someone was just messing around with the different tools and stuff. The only real tangible thing is the mushroom, the rest looks like randomly places ovals (are they there for a reason? if so, what's the reason?). What about the colors? Are they chosen for a reason? I think it's deletable material, but I don't know if I would bother actually deleting it (I didn't). The thing that really bothers me is the neon green squigly lines along the bottom which doesn't help the piece at all.

The rules:

This doesn't mean you can't post 5 or 10 minute sketches, but they have to be good 5 or 10 minute sketches, and they should be mixed with pictures you put more time into. Although there is something to be learned from quick sketches in traditional art, we strongly discourage submitting these sketches.

I don't think it's that great for a quick sketch even for beginner stuff.

As for whether drawings should be judged on artistic merit, I think there's still an acceptable "bottom line" as to what is just spam.

I thought the green squiggly lines at the bottom were grass. The ovals (in my eye) were a clay pot & lid to gather the mushrooms. But then, Dejas my sister so I know how she thinks. :) Or maybe not.
