thanks, I'm kind of disappointed in the detail - I have to get a scanner, finally, for God's sake

oh yes, big plans - till the actual reality of my limitations on the Wacom hit me. Are you doing anything digital yet?

RosesAndThorns In reply to joeyv7 [2008-08-01 17:36:43 +0000 UTC]

I don't have a Wacom yet, just a mouse, so I'm not doing too much digital, just a few pieces in the past (the stylized close-up portraits of B & L). I'm not sure if I quite have the skills for doing anything painterly ... I'd have to see.

I really should look (again) into getting a Wacom.

Awesome, Elke - I think it will be colored rather simply because I don't want to detract from the drawing.


BTW - check this download for your PS - it's all the copic marker colors. YOu put the download in your color swatches; nice color palette

'can't seem to . . .' well, we both know you can draw beautifully, so you either need some sleep, or maybe just draw until you get the gremlins out. Go draw the shed in the backyard - if you can draw that thing again, you can draw anything. Hardest thing to draw is something boring. Resent the hell out of it & just let go.

Shed. Shack.

. . . you don't think . . . ?

Snape - sooo thin, tall, something about the neck - I just remember Crane being so outlandishly ugly, he may have been elegant. But that's the only thing I remember about the character - tall & thin
