Hmmm, you are very detailed in your description. I'll have to have a think about that.

Right. I was looking for something to draw a few nights ago, and I happened to find a lot of 80's style aerobics videos in the T.V. cabinet:

And here is a photo from the 1880's(or there abouts) I found in a book.

Once again, those are very nice

. That picture looks familiar, too. (The 1800's one)

I REALLY love your work. GOD has truly blessed you.

Oh, my mom has Denise Austin videotapes

Nice job

I love the way you did her arms; very nice and clear cut, the shading and highlights are beautiful. Jacket is good, too. Since you said we were allowed to give critique (and you've probably already noticed this), I noticed that her head/neck is a bit large for her body. Perhaps the next time you draw a figure from a book, you could block it/make sure it was all proportionate before you got down to the rest of it.

In the second one, the clothes make my eyes pop

Really, really cool. I would guess that because it was an old photograph, you couldn't put much shadow in the faces (lots of whiting out)?

Anyway, keep up the good work

Yeah, you're right. Her face should be longer and her neck less fat. I noticed when I was halfway to finishing, and I couldn't be bothered changing it. I'll just put it down to experience and remember to be wary of that problem the next time I draw something.

I usually would take more care with proportion, but I was intending for it to be a quick sketch (a few hours, heh!), so I didn't work to get the perfect shape before giving it form. Thanks for the critique!

Haha, yeah. The skirt of the dress was both fun and frustrating to draw.

Old photographs have a tendancy to over-expose whites, as this photo I drew from did. So yeah, basically their faces were flat white. I didn't think I should go over-board with detail on them.

Thanks, Sleepy head. *hopes joke is not in vain*

Here is something I started that I couldn't be bothered finishing:

And here is a wheelbarrow. I have to do set homework drawing now, because the other girls in my class were slack when it was our responsibility to find subjects. :/

I REALLY like that wheelbarrow! I just love that wheel. I think it's the shading of it.

This is quickly becoming my favourite thread

Hmm, if I had to choose a part I liked most, I would say I like the hay.

Thanks Kepa, by the way.

Thank-you, geeky person. *giggles*

Here is a quick portrait I drew of one of my friends. I'd make a fair estimate that it took no more than two hours, so it was pretty quick. I drew it completely freehand and rough, so I'm suprised it came out with such a great likeness to Kirri. She's got one of the cutest cherubish faces, I say.

VERY nice. I almost want to put an extra 'R' to emphasise the point

. Great work. So talented

**Simo** · 08-29-2006, 02:50 AM

A picture like that would have taken me two years to draw.

Actually i could have twenty years and it still wouldnt have been as good! I really suck at art.

Ska Avenger · 09-02-2006, 12:59 PM

That's some awesome art. I may start drawing again...

Daaaaaaaaaaaaavie Jones.
