I used to ride a mare that had the stinkeye refined to a high art. Anyone that went to get her out of the paddock got a mega stink eye, where she'd cock her head ever so slightly to the side and look down on you like the petty thing you are. Now if chickens were as big as a horse, I think we'd be immolated by the level of that stinkeye.

I've seen horse stink eye, and cow. So I just.. leave them alone. cool.png

 

It's the shape that makes the breed, and the color that makes the variety.

I use whatever medium is available...My prefered subjects are Monsters, and Landscapes...not much of a "cute fuzzy cuddly" or people person.. Although..when I first started to draw, I did start with Dinosaurs..then I moved on to horses and other livestock--I just prefer more..interesting subjects now...

1- My first ever all color creation its an acrylic painting, 2-pencil sketch, 3-ball point pen sketch..

Wow!! I've seen something called the "Monster Handbook" but the drawings in there aren't as good as yours! You have an awesome talent at drawing monsters! ep.gif

Some good work here! If you are serious about improving, one of the best art books I can ever recommend is James Gurney's "Color and Light". It is easy to understand and has a lot to teach! :)

Thank you :)

 

I think I have that book.. somewhere... I just prefer to do my own thing though. Lighting, color, crosshatching texturing all that Jazz is too much for me to think about :P

 

Drawing/art is usually me trying to jot down an idea, so that I can better visualise it for what I am writting. Or sometimes it's my release-- the subject is the focus, not the details---UNLESS I am haveing a phenominal day, and then everything comes to life. Otherwise I just don't worry about how its going to turn out or if its professional--I would loose all intrest in drawing if I focused on that, because then it wouldn't be any fun.

“You can’t really begin to appreciate life until it has knocked you down a few times. You can’t really begin to appreciate love until your heart has been broken. And you can’t really begin to appreciate happiness until you’ve known sadness. Once you’ve walked through the valley, the view from the mountaintop is breathtaking"

The cow is still good!!

 

 I LOVE POPCORN!

All Chicks should be born the natural way, with a mother 

All creatures should be treated without cruelty

Everyone should be a chicken lover!!!!!!! 

99.999% of girls would die if Justin Bieber appeared at their doorstep and asked for a date. If your that 0.0001% Who's wiping blood from your fist, put this in your siggy.
