I'm gonna go ahead and declare this one finished, as I'm losing interest and my mind is starting to go blaaaaaughh... lol. I know it's still really rough, but I can only stick with a drawing for so long ya know? Plus I have homework to do. Anyway, This is a portrait of my sweetie, Vera. This is my first time on 2draw.net and so this was somewhat of a test, just messing around, seeing how the applet works. It has been a long time since I've tried coloring, and I don't consider coloring my strength particularly (I'm a pencil dude). I read the tutorial on skin tone and that really is what got me pointed the right way. I've never attempted this type of thing before. Huh. Anyway, hope you all like it. Suggestions are fine but I'm usually a hard enough critic of my work as it is. Improvements pending when I'm more awake.

I already see a couple areas I could improve... I'm out of my drawing mood now though. They'll have to wait.

Welcome! This is really great. I know you are going to be a great artist.
pulmonq2 (Nov 11, 2004)
Hi. Thanks for the compliments and the welcome guys. The image is a bit off, in my opinion. And she doesn't look young enough or something, so I may start over or I may attempt to rework it. I wasn't aware of the advanced mode of the Shi painter applet, so I may try my hand at nudging things around a bit.... but currently got alot of school work going on. Anyway thanks again. I may stick around and attempt to develop my coloring skills, something I think I really lack on.

By the way, why do most people prefer mice? What's better about them? Some people actually complain about them. I use a 9x12 wacom... I almost want to use a mouse to see if I can do just as good a job as other people... like "how can they do that good with a mouse??" you know? But iono,..
Zack (Nov 11, 2004)
Most of the people who use mice here do so out of necessity, although there are a couple exceptions.

Nice picture, she's a pretty girl. I think the way her chin looks a bit pronounced here might contribute to her looking older. Hope you find time to keep drawing here.
nozomii (Nov 11, 2004)
And i'm the girl he drew. I still think he did a good job, even though i do look older. But i know you will fix it, sweetie. So keep up the good work and u better keep drawing!

You're a purdygirlie nozomii
pulmonq2 (Nov 17, 2004)
Yea it doesn't exactly capture her cuteness... I'll either keep revising it , or actually I might start a new one. XP
Cordelia_Pink (Nov 19, 2004)
Wow, Paul, you actually drew her? Was this taken in webcam? (I mean, I don't think she sent you an actually photo of herself or did she?!) I think it looks great. *thumbs up* You still captured her cuteness. This is a good start, Paul. When I first used this applet, I thought it was a bit frustrating. Anyhow, isn't it great? I like using this applet. It's the best.

lol @ davinci. Your comments always sound really comical. lol that rhymed btw.

It's looks better now, Paul! She's really pretty. It looks like she's younger compared to the first version. lol This is awesome. Good job!
pulmonq2 (Nov 23, 2004)
I'm editing her in secret (keeping my new layer hidden) until I've mastered her face, so don't expect to see anything until I'm really about finished. Vera, your face isn't as easy to capture as I thought, but I'll get it!
nozomii (edited Nov 24, 2004)
lol sweetie. you are doing a great job. I'll pose for you when we finally get together. What do u think? *winks*

You know, the left eye is really good! :P

Cordelia_Pink (Dec 6, 2004)

Finished. And no, Christy, she's not. ;)
Cordelia_Pink (Dec 7, 2004)
Um... bikini, then? Paul?! Tell me or else!! *chases him with a spatula* lmao Her face looks a bit smoother now. I like the background better with white but green is ok too. Unless you wanted it to be complementary colors (red/green). (actually her lips look more pinkish than red though.) Well, good jorb!
pulmonq2 (Dec 7, 2004)
Actually I liked the light background too. I guess I could revert if I wanted, but I wanted to take it further just for fun and see how it looked with more color.
sincity (Dec 7, 2004)
This is really good. Welcome. :}
Cordelia_Pink (Dec 7, 2004)
Paul, you didn't answer me... I asked if she's wearing a bikini down below... That's if you had that envisioned in your mind... and sincity, he's been here since November. lol
pulmonq2 (Dec 7, 2004)
No I hadn't envisioned a bikini, Christy. I hadn't really envisioned much past the chest :P And I did join once upon a time I guess last November (2003) but I made one sketchy drawing and left, so that doesn't really count. Since this is the first time I've put any effort at all into anything on here, this would really be my official joining, so sincity's welcome is very appropriate. Not to mention I stated this is my first [real] time on 2draw in the description of this piece.
TaCO (Dec 15, 2004)
O.O Great pic!!!!!!!
She is very pretty!!!!!!
Xodiak (Dec 15, 2004)
She is very beautiful. You did not envision past the chest? Hehehehe... Your sweety is very nice. Xod wishes you are both happy, haha! (I am sure you envisioned more than you say, hihihi!)
|XOD|
pulmonq2 (Dec 16, 2004)
Thank you ^_^ .. I'm sure that Vera appreciates the compliments as much as I.

hehehe, *winks at Xodiak*
