Description Wow I didn't remember scanning traditional art was this
horrible!! It didn't help that I had to scan it in two
pieces (which left a crease in my picture!!!! *angry* ) Then
I had to meld the two together. It's so grainy looking it
hurts because the original is extremely soft looking.

My day started off with mixed feelings: everything was broke
or not working right. My laptop was distroyed by the McAfee
bug (hubby just fixed it!!!! ) and I couldnt get my
tablet to work right on his computer. So after I got back
from riding, I wanted to do art so bad but digital was out
and I didn't know what to draw traditionally.
First off, when I saw the current round for the :devpARTy-
challenge: I was in LOVE! It's an imgage by
~MightySquirrel that I went ga-ga over but the only draw
back was it was only for use of the group. So I decided I
should join...although as of this second I'm not official
yet. hehe It's a great group anyway, I was going to join
sooner or later. My decision to draw it in tradition instead
of digital is because if I did it digital I would have been
too tempted to using it in my harpg. So I picked up
some pencils (real artist pencils!! Thats also a first for
me!!) and set to work. Took exactly 5 hour to do and yes I
pretty much work on it straight. It had been so long since
I've done a traditional piece that the begining stages were
very scarry but I think it progressed nicely and it's atleast
maintained the art lvl I was when I left traditional art
behind.

But thanks to #pARTy-challenge I will be doing
traditional once every two weeks! Thanks guys! I
really needed to do this picture; it's rekindled my love for
art!

Done for the #pARTy-challenge week

Welcome on board, nice to have you And great to see you doing trad art again... I missed it!!

This is beautiful... spot on

(please tell me what the McAfee bug is... our McAfee virus protection thing just ran out, we have Virgin now, but McAfee is still running checks even though it's meant to have run out... and the internet is slow and dragging )

This is a nice drawing. I especially like the way you rendered my favourite part of the reference (the creases of the neck, withers up to the belt thingy): you did extreme justice to the original photo.

Glad the group inspires you and welcome aboard! I hope you'll have loads more fun with catching up & with the upcoming refs.
