eek

i'm so jealous!

your work has so much motion, so much depth! they're really awesome--your paint handling is great.

as for the last picture, i'd reccomend using a ruler (it's very handy) for pictures like these so that your lines are straight (duh) and not shaky. i mean, your lines look pretty nice, but it looks like there are some places where maybe you had a twitch? i dunno. just a suggestion.

i pretty much love that mohawk picture. it's just amazing, with the teeth showing and such.

welcome to the guild!

((by the way, you should drop by the "introductions" thread so we know more about you, stranger!))

I wouldn't! "Naivete" is a desirable quality, for me at least. Rulers, accurate perspective, all those unnatural things subtract from real charm in drawing...

I like these. I like the ethereal splatter. I like the delicate randomness of effects from the watercolour. I like how the illustrative elements are integrated. The second image has professional qualities.

Interesting point you make there.

Although its not very noticeble, I used a ruler in only some parts of the last drawing (on top of the buildings, but not the sides.)

haha, agreed. beauty is in the imperfection, not in the perfection.
