more more more! mr 9B himself.....boy, i got a tired arm on this one. cheated only very lightly, but...i've seen a couple of versions of this photo, and after I had finished this one, i found a version that had...to borrow a saying, more "daylight to the eyes". a version with more light to the area around his left eye (on the right side of the drawing). i coulda darkened one line. there's almost a slight worried expression that is unintentional...but i'm babbling. THE QUEEN! this one ----look ma, no cheating! the girls win! wheee! seriously---no cheating on this one. this one gobsmacked me. like, no really! um....reason for posting this one...um, she's catwoman, and um...that's batman...which is across the country from metro....yeah! that's it! that's my excuse!

alrightey! now a real message. sjh, yeah, at a buck a scan, a couple of months and i could buy me a scanner. i'm thinking about it. really. bugger....i forgot to look in office max when i was there having the scans done... oh yes! and thank you very very much to....casey? and tim? names right? the two who put their heads together and figgered this out for me at office max! i gotta make em a plate fulla cookies. i wanna work big because i always end up unintentionally working big. there is no piece of paper big enough for me. those drawings are on a 9 by 12 pad. the one of VK i started one line down the side of the face to the jaw, looked at it, and said, "nope, gonna cheat this one". and cheat purely for SIZE. usually i cheat for placement (get the eyes where they should be, mouth, nose, etc) and sometimes a bit for shape, but minimally there. but that one i just drew a couple of lines to get the SIZE right. i start the drawing on one side of the face, and by the time I get to the other side of the face/jaw, i've inadvertently enlarged it by 30%. I normally cheat by using tracing paper and just drawing a couple of lines. I want to work big because then I can get more detail. or at least attempt more detail. i got another stack of drawings to do now. off ta work!

ya know.... I got most of the way through the registration process for a photobucket account, and clicked out of it. I was mildly surprised when they wanted my street address, but when they asked for my home phone number and then my social security number....sorry. nope. I don't feel they need that info Only just caught up with this thread. Anyone wanting access to a website but who doesn't want to put in all that registration detail could try this: Bug Me Not If you put the url of the website in here, it'll bypass the password/details and let you straight in. Or so it says. I've never actually used it myself, so I've no idea if it works. But it would be worth a try, I guess. It does sound odd though that they'd ask for all those details, Sileas. Are you sure you were in the kosher site? LabRat

LabRat [/QB] good question..... i seriously wonder about it myself. but after some haggling with an automated system through email, i was able to delete my account. thank heavens that option was there, or i would live the rest of my life in fear of identity theft.

Well Sileas you have talent. I see some good sketch stuff that is your own style. I hope you develop that further. Cheating can help you learn. If you mimic a master enough you become one. But you have a certain style in your stroke. If you practice some real 3D stuff like still lifes or if you can get someone to pose for you, you would learn a lot from having to see it in real space. Photo references are good practice too. I thought val Kilmer came out pretty great. Michele Fifer is good too. the nose needs a little more adjusting but overall you are doing great. Keep practicing. And look at what you are drawing upside down and in a mirror, it helps with your perspective. Good job! Post more soon! Laura

hey chief pam? I emailed that site you mentioned above, and got my email back at me a couple of days later. now, my email is notoriously, shockingly whimsical, so I'm betting it's the fault of my program. but could that email address be checked again? it's listed as.....

Well, since we're doing drawings here... It's not L&C, but what are your thoughts on it? I don't have a scanner connected to my laptop, so I had to take a photo of it and post the photo, which explains why it is so faint a pic. (Well, that, and the fact that it's a pencil drawing.) See ya, AnnaBtG.

somebody else posted a drawing! somebody else posted a drawing! oh nooo....getting sucked away from computer.....drawwwnnnn towaarrrddsss futooonnnnnnnnnnnn......... you have drawn something simply and well and simply well that I have not been able to master yet---logical wrinkles and stuff, in the couch. I actually put a book on drawing wrinkles on my amazon wish list! wrinkles scare me. my drawings above were all done in pencil---but they ranged from 6H to 9B, or extremely light to something that can nearly be called a black crayon. the fact that it came in so light was because it isn't a scanner but a photo. and nice feet and nice proportion overall. ps----behold, I am not smart, and I deleted a pic from my picpile account that *was* posted earlier in this thread. that's why there's just a lil red x there now. i got myself a christmas present---a projector. I started a drawing last night of lois, a picture i think is really cute--I like her expression and I like her hair in it. Because the original was kinda fuzzy, it's forced me to not be so anal-retentive about the tiny details. not sure how well it turned out, but.... i'll post it in a while along with a lil batch of others i've been drawing. I did one of lois and clark that turned out FABULOUS. FINALLY, i have nailed Mister Cain. cheated like mad, to be sure, but it turned out well!

Nice drawings y'all I wish I could do that [yes I know what you said about right brain and stuff.. Tried it all, took the lessons.. But it just won't work ] But hey, I live happy without it.. ^^ Maybe if I really try some day.. Now the Photoshop thingy (or rather Paint Shop Pro) that I *can* handle Not so stupid after all :p I especially like to colourize (making an black&white picture in colour) I already won platinum & gold with it not to long ago http://www.dulek.com/yfke/Colorizechallenge.png This one I entered in a challenge, kind of simple, but I like it ^^

Hi, I am new to this board, in fact this is my first message, but I wanted to share one of the L&C pictures I have drawn. It's pretty basic pencil and paper. I've worked really hard to complete it though, and am immensely proud of it! Please let me know what you think. my picture
