I'm going to try to start drawing more (on top of everything else I'm doing lately).

Last commission to go (that I've heard back from), Tempie.

I actually love the way that's started of the two sisters.

Here's some pics from my figure drawing classes. (6 hours a week!)

I can't remember how long these drawings took. I think the max is 20 minutes or so.

ETA: This one, I don't think I ever showed but it was a long while ago. Done when I was stranded with just a computer.

I LOVE your work, you have a gift! The wtercolor you did of my dobes is in the kitchen, we get a ton of positive comments on it.

[Panzerotti]

Nice work! I totally wish I could draw.

[Saeleofu]

Yay! I always love seeing your work

[Whisper]

You've got such a fabulous eye for structure and dimension.
(I really want to see that one of the 2 Paps finished!)

Thanks! I LOVE anatomy type drawings. Even if I draw a fantasy creature I want it to move the right way and all that. It's fascinating to me.

I'm really hoping this next year I can work on drawing humans mostly as they're so much harder than dogs or any other animal. I'm getting better but I still have a long ways to go. I can draw dogs pretty much without thinking and from memory and they generally look okay but humans take so much concentration from me. I do the figure drawing in three hour chunks and by the time it's done I'm pooped.

You keep getting better and better.

One of these days you're going to realize that you don't need a regular job anymore . . . just your art

[Laurelin]

Eh, I've discovered that I don't enjoy commissions too much and that they seriously stress me out. Now if there was a way to paint whatever I want and then just sell it...

[Renee750il]

That's the idea!
