Hey, thanks a lot for the comment (and sorry for the late reply!)

You're right, it's quite easy to destroy a picture when you use a lot of colors, but you shouldn't be afraid of that, you'll only maybe destroy it by thinking too hard about destroying it. Just go with the flow, so to speak, follow the drive that keeps you drawing, don't think about the consequences. Colors are your friends, use them

I really like this one...I think that you did a great job with the colors as well. Though I have no clue what the word fata morgana means, I still really like your style!!!

Aww, thank you soooo much
I'm really glad you like it; I had hoped you would like it

Fata morgana is something like a mirage, an illusion.^^

Ah! Thanks for filling me in on that term...I wonder why I never heard it before? Anyway, this picture ROCKS!

The camel is kinda hilarious But as for the background - you've improved a lot! and still, drawing backgrounds is not such a common techinque, people often throw them away, so it's cool you do it at all

Dark-Lost-Soul In reply to kbrandt [2007-11-11 16:22:11 +0000 UTC]

The camel was supposed to be some kind of fata morgana... but in the end, it does look hilarious (even hideous) in a way
I'm always telling myself to also focus on the background but just after I finish the coloring of the person, I am too lazy to draw something as demanding as the figure. But somehow, I really like the pyramids - alright, it is not that difficult to draw pyramids, but still... xDD

Thank you by the way^^

Oh, a fatamorgana, I thought that you simply wanted to make the background a bit more blury than the foreground picture. Whenever I do a proper picture with background and stuff, I always plan it for at least 2 days, so that I don't get too tired.

Dark-Lost-Soul In reply to kbrandt [2007-11-11 18:59:29 +0000 UTC]

Well, my drawings are mostly spontaneous, no planning. Not much at least. I actually can't work for more than a day on only one picture. I get bored quite easily... unfortunately though. My concentration sucks xD But in order to draw a proper background, I have to fight that, huh? I'll try^^

kbrandt In reply to Dark-Lost-Soul [2007-11-11 20:06:45 +0000 UTC]

Oh, ok, I usually plan my drawings for some time, so I know how it should look like. Well, yeah, concentration is kinda crucial to drawing, if you don't wanna go: Oh crap! Her hair's green! ...or something

Dark-Lost-Soul In reply to kbrandt [2007-11-11 23:10:08 +0000 UTC]

Whenever I draw, I usually have an idea - a basic guideline on what I want to draw and how it should look like. So, nah, green hair might not happen when I loose my concentration - unless, of course, it's intended xD
My lack of concentration only happens at the end, when I'm done with the main figure, and sometimes it just does look better without a background - even though I'm always telling myself to draw one^^

I usually do some 'review' pictures for myself, so when I sit down to draw an actual picture, I have a very clear vision of what I'm going to draw. And still, your method is working pretty well
