Links work fine....you've got some talent there girl!!!! Really like that picture of your friend....very nice!

Anduril

strange thing is, i have more drawing of eddie than any other piece. the only catch is I cannot finish them. I have about 5 others in addition, same thing. not a single completed one, since 1993....dont know why. :(

Thanks alot!!!

chiquimonkey

that's not creative???? :eek: you are high haha damn those are wonderful! please, keep sharing!! i love the ones of kurt. and hell the unfinished one, i love how you did the collar, very nice!

ISN

Anduril

i put in request to move it. Sorry!! :(

ISN

it's okay......I jus bin blanket responding to all this.....and, anyway, it's okay.....wrong place, wrong time, wrong face.....bad rhyme.....

Anduril

these images are not as clear as i thought they would be. i dont know if i did something wrong in the link or what, but they are blurry or splotchy

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b350/likeanangel521/DSC01591.jpg 1990 or b4....how cheesy!!
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b350/likeanangel521/DSC01594.jpg b4 1998
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b350/likeanangel521/DSC01593.jpg right after his death (year??) brandon lee
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b350/likeanangel521/DSC01597.jpg another unfinished....started it in 1992 eddie...
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b350/likeanangel521/DSC01596.jpg this is just a close up of the shirt in the other link. i will finish this one. i actually messed it up pretty bad and got mad so i quit. i made the first button, it goes over way too far and doesnt look right. i have to erase that entire part and redo it. blah.

chiquimonkey

cool! actually the 2nd to last one you posted, the unfinished one of ed? i sorta like it as is, has a more abstracted feel to it!

i really like how you did the colllar, nice color. keep it up!!

i'm sorry i didn't post about this earlier. i am glad to see you've put some of your stuff here.

i was wondering if you ever would after you posted about doing tats on some other thread somewhere

these are amazing.

i'll tell you

when i'm all down and out i'll do one of about ten things

and looking at joyful art is one of them, like a little bitty matisse exhibit we've got here.

thanks so much. it makes me feel smiley.

Pretty cool. The pic of your friend brings out her beauty...she looks so serene and happy.

thanks alot guys for all the great comments. it makes me feel sooo much better about some of this work.

these are the tat ideas i had....i also was thinking about BLACK - using the calligraphy title in the other link. i still like the idea of black - it means alot of things to me. You have a great memory, that was ages ago we talked about it!!!

Thanks!! pastels and of course pencil. i also have a tendency to do half pencil, half pastel. i like the way pencil gives pastel a silvery tint when used together. i didnt use much pencil on gavin, except around the nose and eyes. the others have alot of pencil. i was going to make the one of eddie my first portrait 100% pastel, and then the other one in just pencil. i think when i get them finished it will make a nice duo. when....he he

i have yet to learn how to control watercolor! never been good at it.

what are yours with? they look similar to pastel the way they are shaded and blend.

cool! i've played around with watercolor, but yeah it's a challenge to control it...i need to keep practicing with it for sure.

all the ones i posted on this page, and most of the others i've done are all color pencil (the stargazer had pen and ink)

i have lost my motivation. I need help! can someone tell me how to get my motivation back to finish these pieces?? please or maybe, just tell me how you got your motivation back, and maybe that will encourage me!

THANKS SO MUCH!!!! I really want to finish these pieces. :(

oh i know how that is, it's so aggravating! it's hard to get back into the vibe of a piece afterwards, at least that's how it is for me....when you do it at the moment you're in that particular headspace.

maybe pick one that you really wanna finish, and set aside an evening which you devote to it. see how that goes

i too have a similar problem. put the pieces away for a few hours, days, whatever. then look at one of them (looking at more than one can get overwhelming) and put on some music that gets you rockin. work on that one piece.
good luck
and keep posting!

I'm not so good at art, but I really enjoy it. Problem is I rarely finish anything!!!! I always feel guilty, like I should be doing something else, but I'm about to start a new artwork tonight! I'm going to make a sculputure out of rolled up newspaper, ever seen van gogh's sorrow (I think that is waht it is called)? It is a drawing of a woman sitting with her head on her knees. Well I am going to attempt to do a life size version of that. will proabably take a few months (that is if I end up finishing it!!!). I did a similar life size sculpture the same way when I was in highschool.

I've noticed a lot of people on here use photo bucket. Is that free? if so how do I join? If I can figure it out I will post a picture of what I am talking about.

Good luck to you.

Ok I figured out photo bucket, so I just hope this works now. here are a couple of pictures of the sculpture I made in highschool out of rolled up newspapers, to give an example of what I am going to attempt to do again......
