Here is the second version with the foreground in blackish colours.  I am not sure which one to do or if I should keep both versions!  Some help please!!!!  This is my first real attempt at a darker style of painting and doing a landscape as well.  Thank you for any help and/or advice.

I am trying to decide which version of foreground I should go with in this painting.  I have one with a blackish foreground and a winterish one. Any help on the trees or critics welcome.  This was totally from my head no refs so of course there is artistic license used.  :P Here is the first version, the winter foreground.  I ...

I like the line work MB!  You have captured the majesty of the elephant.  One of the things I have noticed is that you are starting to have a simular style a some of Frazetta's line work sketches.  These kind of drawings do not need a lot of detail to state the facts.  I really like it. Your sketch from ???? of the nude ...

Voluspa welcome back even if I am coming back from a ridiculous time away.  :) I was looking at your sketch and painting and I think the problem with the woman's head is the jawline.  In the sketch it is more forward facing and in the greyscale it is more on a slant.  Sometimes if the drawing looked right in the sketch and ...

right.....quiet echos  Never quiet echoes around here Carly!  :) I have been having problems drawing lately wether it be pencil, pen, or on the computer with the mouse.  For some reason I have lost the ability to draw freehand these days.  Or if I can get things to work out I do not know what to do with it.  I guess ...

Here is the other version. Any ideas or comments welcome.  I guess it is my Halloween painting or something. On a different note my cat has decided that she does not like me to be away for a week and has not left my side or at least the same space that I am in.  She even comes to bug me to sit with her on the couch or on the bed if no ...

I have been doing some artwork on the computer since most of my drawings by hand have been a mess so here is what I am working on I will post two versions since I am not sure what to do in the foreground. Here is the first one I hope

Hey Carly!!!  Yes I am back!!  It has been a long time and a lot has happened to me lately.  I am not sure you got my email in reply to your concern. So if you did get my email and not sure how to respond and to update everyone else here goes Cinders life part whatever number I am at now.  ...

Hey MB!  Yes I am still alive over here on the other side of the ocean.  I have been busy this past few months; will write about it in a bit want to get through at least the last few days of posts.  Man you guys have been really busy with the posts.  I will have to go back and read them when things calm down a bit. If you wish ...

Hey guys I have been going nuts these last few weeks!  I ended up in Emergency hospital with my friend again last Thursday!  Two no sleep nights in three days.  Man was I exausted!  The antibiotics where not working so Aputik (my friend) is now on a portable IV unit giving her antibiotics.  These meds seem to be ...
