your drawings rule!

Lol, thanks! ^_^ Brian does tend to have that effect on people and that scowl is very out of character for him. My favorite bit would be the little skull the dirty look issues signaling that I'll probably regret putting him in that costume. >.>

Thanks for the cheer, and for joining the dragon club. :3

By the way, your profile pic is hilarious. XD

hey your a friend of claude, right? You like tales of symphonia, right?
then do you want to be my friend?

Ah, right! I have seen the movie (once) and I really did like it, but even so I can't seem to recall her *ponder* Oh well, guess I'll have to watch it again :)

Yep, yep. It's always been a habit/problem with me to draw long faces. I don't do convincing kiddies very well. :3 I was afraid of making her eyes any bigger and turning her into a bug (trust me, I tried). A while back I had an original character equipped with one black and one white completely pupil-less eyes. It was a horrid design, the white eye always threw his face off, so he now has a lovely set of gray blinkers. :) It's scary drawing those pale eyes, they blend in when the drawing isn't completely cartooned with thick black outlines. I'm not quite sure what you mean about color change, but I'd be glad to hear more. Always willing to learn. *smile* I'm very happy that you like my style.

Lol! Adam Philips wins at flash animation, hands down. :D I agree about the contrast, it was a very quick and sloppy sketch. I like to keep up with my 'one sketch a day' rule, even if only with a scribbled drawing. If you delve back to page six of my gallery, there is a pic of Bitey in there. I'd like to draw him again, he's made up of delightfully easy shapes. If you enjoy watching flash animation, Legendary Frog and Ed Skudder (at Newgrounds) are fantastic.

ooo.. it looked great on the thumbnail though.. i like your drawings anyway

yeah its so weird how that sasuke actually has that hair cut...i mean, it by all means defies gravity...and my friend was the one who influenced me on his "chicken butt" hair...though i call it a cockatoo...XD oh and i use a mouse connected to my laptop >w<; cant effing afford any tablet D: and thanks a lot! im gonna check out some of your art! >w<

lol yea i know it wasnt, but i was bored and decided to say the most random thing that came to mind. Your welcome. ;)

Im from san antonio! were not too far apart^^ wanna be friends?

hey wuuuuzuuuup!!!!! u can call me Maddy!!!! awesome another young talent added to this site!welcome to the club!!!! bwa-hahahahahaaaa!!!!

thank you for the cheer !!^~^

thanks for adding me as a friend- returning the compliment!

ok, i look forward 2 see it ;)

I don't think a 15 year old has earned the right to nit-pick other artists work. When you have a painting hanging in the Louvre, then you can do that. I think you just need to chill out and enjoyed the great art seen on this site, and if you don't have anything nice to say, then maybe you shouldn't say anything.

great pics!

Starz, Did you see Sandwich_junkie's criticism of Samy's "Say Cheese" pic? He is never pleased!

ps. if you have a e-mail i'd rather communicate through it. this gets too long for the formatting.

ya sure no problem friends of course, communication is much better when ears are open. You are a good kid I am sure, and that is why I reacted the way I did, It seemed all of a sudden out of the norm, I am sure that this is probably your first time at attempting to "help" others, and it was just a little off base. I merely was trying to help you understand how to go about it differently. I was very tired when I responded and it probably sounded worse than I felt. I was working on about 4 hrs of sleep in the last 36, something I have a problem with at times soooo. I did not take the times to clarify my feelings. Peace, truce and let this be a good learning experienc. And just a heads up, we don't have to be our parent's shadow, we can break away...and learn. Life is a series of choices. Always live life for the positive!

Listen sandwich-junkie, I don't want this to be a big deal here, this has blown way out of control, and the misunderstanding stems from and I reidderate, things that are going on behind the scenes when an artist is drawing a picture, another words technical issues that you are not privey to, or personal issues tht may effect an accomplished artist's works. Believe me we are the first to "see" our problem areas. We more times than not have already seen what you see. We are our own worst critics. And again it is not about the "criticism" it is how you put the critcisms, you have a way of saying things that are and I can't even think of the right words, trying to be helpful, but tinge on insulting. To point out a weak spot in a picture is one thing, but then to compare it to something really lame, kind of crosses a line. It's fine to say, I think I would have blended the colors a little more, or given a little differnt hue of pink, or something on those lines rather than pointing them out and making a comparision that makes some one look like they are a blithering idiot.(and I am using this over-comparision to illustrate the point) So, I hope you understand, again this is my view point, I just think that criticisms that are given as suggestions are better than ones that come with comparisions. Another words the commentaries aren't necessary with the suggestions. The suggestions then can be contemplated on by the artist without feeling a little uncomfortable and make them (and again, younger and sensitive ones) doubt their abilities. (say what you think, but in reality it does happen). And I don't know how you managed dragging anarchy into a simple case of just plain old case of manners. Using good manners is what is all about. Weigh your words better that's all. Friends.

BTW, I know there is a zoom, but I still find it awkward because unfortunately along with the zoom of the board, the brush zooms as well and it makes it hard to do tiny details, but that's just me, I don't have your capabilities, apparently, my shortcommings again, I just know that in some of my programs on my computer the brush still stays the same size and doesn't change with the proportion of the screen. There is still a lagging problem that I have because of using the mouse to long. I still can't get smooth details even using the zoom. the lines are squiggly.

Thanks for your comments & suggestions on Carousel. I put out-of-focus lights in the background, but they made the picture look way too busy and took the focus off the horses. Sometimes you don't see what needs to be done until you publish it (kind of like not being able to see your typos), and I agree that the pink in the nose seems too bright - I should tone it down or make it look more like gum -haha. Thre was more that I could have with this picture, but it got so lnog that my pen starting dragging and not performing correctly, so I had to stop. I appreciate your feedback and hope that you will continue to critique my pictures as that is how I can improve. Thanks for the cheers.

Maybe you should re-read my comment. Again, you are green behind the ears and have a lot to learn about being tactful...This is not a site that is here for you to use your critiquing skills on other people's work, they come here to have fun and to share their talents. Again, and I reidderate, not everyone will handle what you say the same was as I do, your words can be a discouragement to young budding artists, and just because you may have thick skin and not let criticism bother you, there will be those who will get offended. I have learned that it is not my place to judge anyone's work based on "my observations" we are not all seeing things as others see them. What I am saying is this and it is what my mother always taught me, if you don't have something nice to say, then don't say it. If now I asked for your critiquing it might be different. And again, don't misunderstand me, I have no problem with your view, it is just how you went about it, before you even knew the story behind the obvious problems I had with the picture. It is funny how we are so fast to jump upon others shortcommings and don't see our own. I thank you for your cheer and compliments, and your opinion of my work. But, if in the future you would like to critique my work you can do it by my comment page and maybe I'll explain myself and my lack of skills in your eyes. The point is, it is like giving someone a balloon and then taking a pin to pop it. Kind of makes the gift you gave have no value. If you wish to improve work you do it with uplifting words, you point out the good things, and the not so good, eventually fixes itself. Trust me. At 15, you're still learning, it would be irresponsible of me to point out all the things in your pictures that are wrong, you are the artist, you know where you had trouble and you know that when you do a picture again you'll work through the problems you had in the last. All the while growing...in your talent. So hear me out, I am not mad at you, I am just trying to make you understand that this site is not about critiquing others, if you wish to do that then go to deviant art or some other site where that is what the site is about, this is just fun. I have never done "computer art" before, I don't need you to point out to me the very things, I am well aware of, on paper or canvas I don't make little black lines on my faces, because I work with a medium that is easier to control. I am not here to "learn" my art. I am here to share it, take it for what it is worth, fun and sharing. Ok?

The thing you have to remember is that if there are things that you notice, as did I in your picture, is that this is a public forum, and others do read, what is being printed, criticism can be given, but it should be done in a manner that doesn't offend someone, simply because you are not a mind reader and don't know what the artist was dealing with at the time of the rendering...so maybe you should try compliments as opposed to the criticisms, because you are not very tactful when you give it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, you have talent and I have said as much, you are 15, and have a lot to learn in this world. I don't take offence, lucky for you, I was more aware of the short commings in my art than you will realize, but, others may be discouraged by lame comments that are not "phrased" well, and I would hate to see some budding artist be defeated, while they are yet "babes" in the art, so while I am sure I could critic your pics and tell you everything that I see is wrong in them to my view point, I would much rather encourage you and help you to find your way to becoming a "great" artist, rather than discouraging you with words that may hurt you, if you get my drift....Starz

quite the critic you have become...Again, the first rendering of break time was done at 5:oo-8 am was a little tired by the time I finished, hadn't slept and was done for the time being. The dragging problem was atrocious and I couldnt do anything because the brush lagged so bad from what my hand was doing, and that left me with no option but to publish it as was for the time being, so at the time I was well aware of the black lines, they were there temporarily til I could log back on, after some sleep, and hoped the dragging problems wasn't going to be as bad. Soooo..it is better, but after a pic goes over an hour or so, the cursor, just won't cooperate and allow you to do fine details and shading, consequently when you see problematic areas in a pic, it is usually because of that. thought you'd want to know.

If you set it to the slowest speed and click replay, you should be able to see how I did the perfect circle :-).

thats a cute display :]

Thanks for your comments, I would have to say that to draw an asian face is a hard face to draw, they are basically flat, with little or no chin, cheeks, and relatively flat noses so, that is why the girl on the left face looks flat, I think you might want to see the reference picture and you will not think it is so far off. The only thing that I did have a problem with is, the face in the reference picture is tilted a little down and towards the right and the nose is a little wider on the nostral area. But hey considering it is done with a mouse I'd say it was a pretty fair representation, the only other problems I ran into, was the dragging, and that makes it nearly impossible to get the accuracy one would like. I agree, the highlighting needed to be blended so just for you I redid the pic and I do like it better, I did the pic after little or no sleep when I first published it and I just was done with it at that time, 3 pics later. But hey this is art, and it is imperfect as the person drawing it. Again thanks for the comments

x333 Neck IS long. BWahaha.
WIP = Work In Progress. :33
Thank you! :3

Yeah, the anime is AWESOME. And his arm is weird, I'm just too lazy and lame to fix it. xD THank you!

Heya!!
Thanks for the add!!
I think your drawings are GREAT!!

bwexiie x

you can do straight lines by drawing a dot (hold it) right click there - and then click where you want the straight line to go

thanks for the suggestion! yeah, straight lines are on our list.

yes indeed he is my personal mascot. actually panda has been my nick name for some time now and i always try to "pimp" it. i finally came up with rainbow panda because i love rainbows and i support the gayness....

I HATE Yaoi. I despise it with a passion beyond words, what on Earth would give you the Idea that I would?

Cool Drawings =]]

do you really live in fort worth tx??

hii my name is BeNeKe, do you wanne be my friend?

Sorry! But I didn't know how I should call me!XD

Thanks that you like my stuff!:)

Hi! Yeah, I never really understood why the HP books have gained the massive following they have. I enjoy them, like I enjoy most stories in that vein, but don't see why they are more publicly successful than books by Diana Wynne Jones,(whom I love for delivering good books about magic), for example. But the thing about Harry Potter is that because so many people DO read it, it's far easier to find another fan and share conspiracy theories about what's happening, find fanfiction, fanart, etc. It's the fandom more than the books drew me in : )

(I've read "Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell", by the way, and loved it, especially the footnotes. I looooved the footnotes.)

I suppose I oughta give an explanation for my icon. No, I'm not gay. I have a friend, named shayna, who is a massive harry potter freak (those two are harry potter and draco malfoy) And I saw that Icon somebody had drawn, and they had written "for Sheena" At the top. A little photoshop and It was instantly dedicated to shayuna instead. :P

EWWWWW! that's 2 guys kissing? =(

To your comment on my "Sierpinski", that I had too much time and should get a girlfriend: I'm female and I have already a boyfriend ^^ If you look at my older pics you cn even see him there :D

just stopping by to say hi! I help run Sketchfu, so if there's anything I can help with on the site, please let me know! Enjoy.
