It's... alright? Because I'm not entirely happy with it, the trees bug me...

But thank you all the same. :3 I haven't drawn in a long time, I started again a couple of weeks ago but before that it had been years.

A word of warning. My Bamboo (A Bamboo Fun); half the surface stopped working on me after 6 months. I assume mine was defective, because this doesn't seem to be the norm, but if you see any signs of that before you buy your new one, PLEASE don't wait and hope it will sort itself out. It wont, and by the time you admit it, you'll be out of warranty. :T I have a tablet... but I can't do much with it, as I said, and it's starting to spread.

(I actually had an Intuos before I got the Bamboo, and it felt like a downgrade to me, ugh)

That new drawing looks great, Redeemer! :-)

I second the idea of getting a DeviantART account. ^^

I'll remember that, thank you Sara!

And thanks Icy! I'll get right on it! :3

It's so pretty. Wish I had a tablet- make my life (and desk space) so much lighter. XD

Sara> The Intuos series are meant for the professional, even old models are way more durable than the Bamboo series that are for mass market.

Actually, the Bamboo Fun are not as durable as the original Bamboo. Lighter, but not as tough... ^^'

And yeah Red, you definitely should get yourself a DeviantART account! :3

I know that. I AM a professional in training, dear. I didn't buy my tablets, my parents did, they didn't know. But other people HAVE told me that their Bamboo Funs have lasted much longer than mine did. It was just a word of caution.

I'm sorry, I haven't read your whole life Wiki page! :P

As a matter of fact, my desktop tablet is a Bamboo Fun, Medium model and it still works perfect after 4 years of service, but I believe that's because it stayed on my desktop... I'm pretty sure it wouldn't last long in my bag! XD

Sometimes, when i see good artists, I wish I could draw. But then i realize that if I could draw real well, I couldn't write as well as I do. Everyone, I believe, is limited to a single genius.

Absolutely not true!

People can *develop* many talents, even if it takes a lot of work to do good in each.

And all artists began at level 0. So if you wanna draw, just draw. And if you practice and enjoy drawing enough, you'll get better at it eventually.

I do believe that drawing induce a kind of details analysis skills that can't be bad for writing as well... ;)

It is nothing more then a fleeting thought once in a while. Like when you admire an artist of any from, music painting or martial art, you look at them and go damn thats good, I wish i could do that. But drawing is not my passion, i love being a spectator. That and ask me to draw a straight line and it comes out as a circle :/

Art is REALLY relative, soooo... I think it's kinda useless to think "man I wish I could do that", because chances are, there's someone that thinks that way about you. :3

On the note of the actual topic at hand (because I just realized I never commented on it!) I would really love to draw with you Hayley :D It would be fun. (Issue being tablet, I actually lost my pen, and they're kinda pricey to replace... and always after I replace it I find the old one)

I sympathize with you SOOOOOO much! I (thought I) lost my pen, bought another on Amazon and found mine like... a couple of days after I got the new one! XD

Concerning scribbling with other people online, I think they are websites where you can do that, like iscribble.net

Sara, I would love to draw with you! Let me know when you get a new pen! :3

kkstarfox, Psygonis is right, we all start at zero. If you wish to develop yourself as an artist, then don't let anything stop you. You do what you want to do. That's what I'm trying to do right now, I'm trying to bring back the skills I used to have when I was in high school. After I left to go to university, I stopped drawing, and now I'm rusty and that annoys and frustrates me.

My sister is a wonderful artist, but I just like admiring art. :) Just sometimes I wish i could do something that inspire awe in others. I like writing, and to some people I do that impressively. I am content with my talents :P If you want though you could read the book that I uploaded on this site. "Chapter Zero," In non starfox works. Yes I am shamelessly advertising the first 4 chapters. I need input!

Then I'll go check it out. :D

By the way, I got Sai, so watch this space!

Update: Sai has no layers, so I went back to Gimp to draw this outline. Going to clothe and colour it later. Hands are a bitch to draw. There is a seperate circle of hell for hands.

Hands are indeed the devil. Luckily I draw ponies, so no need to worry for me :P

Also, I hate you for being so much better at art than me. But not really. I really love you.

Ah, a Dante's Divine Tragedy reference for the win!

The shape of the hands are quite right. The problem is their size. Stick your own hand on your face, then compare with your drawing. These are way too small.

Aside this, the anatomy is good (and pleasing!). ;)
