guess I'm just afraid/sure he'll say no.
Photographers are artists too and are just as flattered when people appreciate their hard work enough to get permission to use it (in whatever way). And re ...

There is one very easy way to resolve the question.

Contact the photographer and ask if it's ok to base a drawing off his (or her) photo. If the photographer says yes, then you are in the clear ...

Well all the pages have been removed but the images themselves are still on the net. I suppose it may take a little extra time to delete the 11,000 images they stole. Razz

As for lawsuits, they h ...

So when Sandro Botticelli illustrated "The Divine Comedy" it wasn't illustration at all? (cause he didn't illustrated it for his patron, he illustrated it for him self)

I suppose i should have b ...

I suppose it could be said that, as far as todays terms go, "Fine art" is art which is done by the artist for the artist and has no restrictions on the level of quality or the accuracy of realism. By ...

Not that my nickname is terribly interesting, or that anyone really cares, but there is something of a history to it. First, I'm very fond of birds (so much so that i can't bear to see them caged). ...

I think perhaps you should try looking at photos of children and drawing from those for practice. Pay close attention to how much larger childrens eyes are than adults (eyeballs don't grow much, we a ...

Nice entry! While it may be counter productive for me to help the competition Wink

i do see some areas that you may want to address to make it more viable for a t-shirt.

The main issue i see is a ne ...

Oh yes! Much better. Now he looks like he is leaning against a wall instaed of falling against one. Wink

One small observation that you may want to keep in mind when you are adding color is the hand ...

I love these! Nice strong pencil-work, believable anatomy and loads of character. Excellent work!

I see what you mean about the texture on that leg. Maybe something more subltle would work bette ...

Gosh, a whole week here with 100+ veiws and no one has anything to say? I'm sorry. I feel so bad that i haven't been reading this forum much lately. Sad

As for the picture, i really like the overa ...

Not a bad picture. You've got a nice solid start. I would recommend posting a smaller version for web viewing though so people can see the whole thing in one shot on their screens. Nothing larger t ...

Everything looks great until you get to his legs. they do not look to be in any position that would support his weight and that back leg seems too thin. If you give it a bit more substance and bring ...

Athletes get paid to play sports, why shouldn't artists get paid to draw and paint? Despite this idea that any and everything is art, most of the work people expect payment for (and incidently the sa ...

Thanks for the replies everyone. As far as the paper texture goes, there is some texture to the paper, but it kind of got lost in the size reduction. Plus i didn't want too much texture on it, since ...

Wow, 126 views and no one has a single thing to say about it? Is it so bad it left everyone speechless? Embarassed

about being focused and clear about what you're trying to convey... I think that's something very central to everyone who is serious about art. I don't think it's that easy though, there is stuff that ...

I just finished up a small piece for a close friend of mine who works for a sword crafter at the local renaissance festival. It's for a t-shirt design to promote Badger Blades and i just wanted to get ...

I guess it really depends on what audience the artist is trying to reach. If the artist is expressing themselves to...well...themselves, then anything goes and the sky is the limit for new ways of ex ...

From what I know of history, a lot of early art, like cave paintings and whatnot, weren't just recording what they saw and did. They were telling stories. My favorite pieces of art speak to the soul. ...

For nearly a hundred years, we have been taught that art is about personal expression. But for thousands upon thousands of years before that, art was about something far less subjective.

Since the ...

and sorry to you too wren. Your artwork on your site looks great, which is why I know you'd be too expensive for us
Wink

you might be surprised. The most i've gotten for any single image in my ...

I turned 29 about this time last year and just like you, looked at my life and realized i was not where i wanted to be. I've wanted to be an artist my entire life, and there i was 29 and not drawing ...

Copy that text too and paste it with the rest the next time.
Ok?
Mr. Green

One step ahead of you! I realized as soon as i wrote it, that it was worth hanging on to. Hopefully, if i keep working ...

Oh NICE! What a powerful image!

The only critique i can offer is that the clouds seem a little rough and clunky in comparison to the detail in the rest of the image. But otherwise it's fantasti ...

In addition to CyberArtists rather frank critique, i'd like to add that the eyes seem to be placed too high. However, without seeing the photo you referenced this from it's a little difficult to give ...

What could they say about payment that would satisfy you?

In all honesty, I would rather people looking for artists make a post for a call specifying what type of portfolios they�d like to review, ...

As and avid gamer and great lover of puzzels and riddles, your offer intrigued me right up until i got to:
payment would consist of a percentage of the game's profits.

Not to be pessimisstic but ...

I use whatever tools i have at my disposal to create the specific effects i am after. Like bearsclover, i am learning photoshop as i go, and i figure the best way to discover what it can do is to try ...

then which place has that? i'd like to go to somewhere more intellectual right now
