Artist's Comments

I'm actually pretty proud of this one. Having taken a look at my scraps (cue to look at my scraps), I feel that I have really improved in terms of drawing people. I drew this in about, hm, an hour and a half? (This of course included all inturruptions graciously provided by my wonderfully distracting, fellow volunteers at the hospital) *wootzors*

Photo Reference... some article from a magazine called Vixen? It souns kinky... so don't hurt me if it actually is. I just saw the pic and drew it... sheesh.

I really need to compliment you on this piece because it has a very organic feel. Sure some parts of it may look a little out of proportion, but nothing appears so angular or distorted that she doesn't appear alive. And now there's something else that I just noticed; the wrinkles just above the eye lid. :omg: Wow!

Ohh it's not your fault. It's not your mother's fault. Now...you pay attention to old Rooter. It is nobody's fault. The Great Circle of Life has begun. But you see, not all of us arrive together at the end.

Thank you! :hug:

Yes, I'm now able to notice that her eyes, among many other things in the piece are completely out of proportion. I'm still on that level of "drawing what I see," but someday I hope to branch from that to more creative and convincing pieces.

Again, thanks!

You misunderstand, I thought the wrinkles were fantastic. For the most part I like this piece, even if parts are out of proportion, because it still looks right. And if you are still on the level of drawing what you see, then so am I. ^^;

Aw, well thank you! And I didn't intend to put down this type of art, it's just that I have such an interest in illustration that the creation of my own ideas is a trait most certainly necessary for such a career. Again, I absolutely love your work. There's nothing I would change about it. =)

Thank you very much. It means a lot to me for you to say that, because lately I have been wanting very badly to go beyond simple references. I wish I could "create" like the character designers and surreal artists can. Anyway, good work. I most certainly look forward to any pieces you submit. :)

Heh, I hope to achieve the same. *high five*

And I look forward to seeing more of your work as well. =)

Well, thank you! Aha, I had completely forgotten about this piece (it feels like I made this ages ago). I most certainly appreciate the compliment, though. =)
