Title: Flow and Grace"Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. If you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. If you put water into teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can flow, or it can crash. Be water, my friend." - Bruce Lee

Wow I honestly bow down to you for an excellent piece of art and for making the water effect so lifelike. I really admire you! XD

I love this! you really captured the water hitting her face. I think it would have been better if you added the rest of her shoulder, but I can't see anything else otherwise.

I am sure Darrel will love it. Nice to meet someone else who has been following
Darrels excellent tutorials. I have all of his Dvds so far and have enjoyed everyone
of them. How long have you been drawing? I have been at it for more than 30 years
and I am still learning.
Keep up the excellent work!

Yeah, I'm a big fan of Darrel Tank and also have all of his DVDs I started drawing since kindergarten but abandon this wonderful hobby for the past 10 years. Now I'm falling in love with drawing again at my late 20's again. We don't need art to survey but it's something we can't live without. I'm still exploring and learning as well. Nice to connect with you in DA

May I add you as a friend? I love drawing, but there are times I feel my work isn't
improving, and I stop. Sometimes for years, other times just a few months. I am my own worst critic!

Certainly, my friend. New knowledge gives you different perspective of seeing things, then you would have a new approach to your drawing. I challenge myself with something new in each drawing and learn something new each time.
Satisfaction is the pain killer of growth, and no pain no gain. Moving out of your comfort zone is hard at time but it's a must if you decide to grow. Thats my 2 cents.

A superb piece, nice to see something a little different. How long did this take to complete?

It's over 2 months on and off, couple hours here and there. I've stopped thinking the number of hours. I just focus on the result I have in mind and find a balance place to stop. Thank you.
