Hmm, I don't know.
There are a lot of odd things going on with that shadow. Besides weird foreshortening, the highlights on the girl suggests the lighting is cast from above, but the shadow clearly behaves like it's cast from below. Darthfurby gets an F in physics. Yaaaay!
But the humongous shadow helps add to that "deer in the headlights" look which is so popular amongst the "being held at gunpoint" crowd. If it's not daddy's credit card she probably has at least fifty bucks in her bra. Cough em up girl, I got bills to pay!

pretty, nice draw

Excellent work.

So here I was, in the middle of the night, just wandering the halls and through the galleries in Celloland, and I stumbled upon this wonderfully executed piece of art. Everything about it is wonderful, I love it.

Thank you, Deino :)

Wooh. This strikes me everytime I scroll over it.
It's one of those hopeless overreacted smiley faces.

Your home gets destroyed by an enormous explosion but you think one fat smile can save it all ^^
(-end of stupid thought-)

Thanks everyone, it was actually suppose to be a caricature of Nancy Pelosi, but maybe subconsciously I was thinking of Jerri Blank from Strangers with Candy. Ouf, either their resemblance is uncanny or I’m just going to have to work doubly hard on my next caricature. haha! Thanks again. :)

This is really great! Love it!

You don't need to explain what you draw and why you draw it to hideyourface. If it makes you happy just "do it". You can paint a fish and he can't.

Wow, I'm salivating! The light source is captured beautifully on the top side of the fish and the left half of the fish is rendered extremely realistically... well done! :)

Sweetcell: At least the fish won't leave presents all over the house for you to clean up!

yes but they do leave presents in the water for the filter to get and then you have to clean the filter XP I just did that too nasty job

Yeah, reduce the size of the mouth a little, add blonde hair... there I am. Oh, and a little heroin addict-like mascara smears under the eyes to accentuate the already dark circles naturally there. My brothers and I used to "compete" at who could stay up the longest... they had their guitars and I would paint... I usually won, unfortunately I still win. As cops, sometimes when they change to night shifts they come over and say, hey sister, you gotta keep me awake tonight, I'm changing schedules tomorrow. Now they are sleeping and I only sleep when it's drug induced. That is when I don't sleep walk through the drugs and get into trouble before I find the bed.

Yeah, the JOYS of INSOMNIA. Yeee motherf!@#$haw.

I have read from more than one source that this is a most common ailment among artists. We tend to suffer from it more than others.

DBA: Yeah, but I'm a tax attorney, I guess that makes me a freak.

Very nice expression, I hope you know yawning is terribly contagious! Just looking at him makes me wanna yawn. Oh, and I share your pain. haha

MrPaul, thanks for pointing that out...I din#t really noticed that before.
Well it was just intended to be very quick anatomy practice mixed with some graphical stuff to make it watchable in this board...but these tips do actually help....so don't stop ^^
And yeah I noticed the big head and hands too...but they do fit very well (original).

This is the issue with using paintings and sculptures as reference, they are never 100% correct. And this is why I hate my anatomy-book ...it's full of lousy handmade drawings(or doodles), and it tell you to draw people in real life. But this is hard, because I'm not going to find a naked person, willing to pose for me a few hours a day, that easily.

I like the way it's kind of in a "poster edge" style and the palette is really pleasing. I don't think everything has to be anatomically correct to be pleasing (actually, a little "morphing" of that in a work like this makes it more interesting sometimes)

Very sexy, yes.

nice sketch! welcome to the fold!

Welcome, I think you will love it here :) very nice sketch :)

I thought I commented on this. One of those times you comment in your head but forget to write it down. Well I love your style, nice sketch. Welcome Paul.
