Hello everybody

Since the course begun I have thought to create an album in the gallery called 'Drawing in PJ', which contains some of my drawings of the session152 of the complete course

The album is available here


Cheers

Very good ZioRip, I think that it is important to start a gallery of your work. It is great to look back over time to see your progress. ( It is also nice to get feed back from your peers!)

Thank you tannis

Nice work ZioRiP...I think the gallery is a great idea. I will join you as I have finished drawings to share.

Jana

Thanks Jana, I'll be glad to watch your drawings

Hi, I feel useless to start another topic for this.

I'm just testing my new toy... Well, it's not that new because I have it since dicember, but this is the first time I use it... with the new computer also where I have installed firefox "againts my will".

The new toys don't really concern the traditional drawing but I wanted to give it a try. This is a second version of the puppy dragon I'm working on (the first one is more realistic as much as a dragon can be). It's a cartoon dragon, and here it is, completely sketched digitally
I think I'm going to crack on it tomorrow (time to sleep in Italy)

Ciao

Hi ZioRip - love your Frog Dog - he's really got style! And your dragon is cool too - looks very friendly. Does he have a name yet?

I love your puppy dragon!

Thank you Metta, no, the dragon doesn't have a name yet. I thought it was more difficult to draw with my new graphic tablet on my pc, even if it's supposed to be very realistic and I must assess that the Wacom Cintiq isn't that bad to draw



Thanks Jill, I was wondering how I could inform you about it but you've already seen my puppy... however it's not the one I was speaking in the classroom (I'll show it to you as soon as I finish it).

I'll keep dropping by here to look for it.

looks pretty good

Thanks to both

wow.. I've just realized that the arms are completely wrong as well as the feet... The right one should be mirrored with the left one... hihihi

I am working on Unit 3 week 3 and I had to stop when I saw what I did... I'm so amazed on what I did that I can't believe my eyes... Surely it is not very well done, but I still wonder how I did it (the top part with the rounded handle.

That's looking really good, ZioRiP! I can remember feeling the same way when I did the tea kettle. Just wait until you do the shoe!

Thanks Donna, I can't wait to reach the shoe... it seems impossible to achieve a good result but on the other hand I know that if I study well the result will not be so ugly

Looking really good Alessandro. I have only done the outline so far and I keep looking at the shading wondering if I can do it. Keep up the good work

Thanks Jill

I have some regrets but I transfered the original drawing to speed up the process

I'm curious to see yours

You're doing very well ZioRiP! Love your little dragon!

Thank you Jeans

I'm actually back to the basic shapes

Jill and ZioRip, you'll both be amazed at yourselves when you complete your kettles. As Cindy keeps reminding us, just keep showing up at the table - and the rest will take care of itself!

Thanks Metta

I actually made a step back to the basic shapes.. the kettle is there... whatching me so sadly

Jill, don't read this

In case you read it I'm kidding, I'm not working on the kettle... keep on taking your time and don't be in a rush


Today I came back to the silver kettle... There's always something that I don't like but I spent two hours to achieve this... tomorrow I'll probably erase it and redo (as usual)

And you're stressed about not being first!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....... Bet you have already started the shoe

HOnestly I'm at Unit 6, but I'm uploading private images

See you soon, then, ZioRiP As part of my mentoring program, i get to stay, and watch Unit 6 for a whole year!

No Tannis, it was a joke

Jill is not reading, as requested... good

Hi Zio RiP, I know that it was a joke! ... but I'll still be in the unit 6 classroom when you finally arrive! I'll have access to that classroom until end of Jan 2011!

Yes I am reading this and I think you are doing so well you will beat us all. You will be the star of this class. I am now going to start my kettle over again and try to be as good as yours

Good, so we're going to meet there sooner or later



Thank you Jill, you make me shy

I think I have ruined a part of the drawing with the yesterday's work... I'm not so sure that I'm going to beat you all. When I watch your drawings (you all) I always feel like mine are not as much beautiful as yours

Jill...who would have thought Zio is competitively bashful.....

Yeah...must be some other guy

No doubt...how's your kettle coming...slow to steam or a rolling boil?

Mine is getting hot

While you sleep I work hard hihihihihi

Unfortunately you're going hard while I'll be sleepin'

I still have to refine many fades in the main body, but the big part has done.

I use to work for two hours but I have realized that I was getting tired and I had to start (it takes a lot of concentration).

I recommend to use the image from the computer screen... there are a lot of details that I don't see on the paper.

Do you like it?

Hmmm...like it? Nay....you should start over..... Then I might catch up!!!!



Great Work!!!

Very slowly, but I will work harder

Looks fantastic! But it does need a lot of refining - so keep working. Ha Ha

What Jill says......

I made a huge mistake at the bottom.. I have to erase and redo it.

Today I'm not going to draw... look how good I am

Breaks can be good....I have been working all weekend so my drawing will wait until this week.

Zio...you are good. You expect something of yourself and work till you get it. Good for you!!!

ps...... I won't tell Jill

Thank you for keeping the secret

Hey you two! I thought you were my friends!

Yes, we are, but why are you reading this?
I wanted to make you a surprise while you were thinking that I was redoing week 2

Today I'm not going to draw.... look how good I am

For real, I don't have time

How's your kettle going on?

You know I am....just friendly pokes!!! How is your kettle coming? I have only got as far as transfering. Working nights this weekend so I am not getting the chance to draw.

Yeah I know you were joking. My kettle is very slow. I keep going back and rubbing things out - can't seem to get the shading right. It is certainly taking all of us much longer than we expected I think.

Yes, it does

I think we are all going to be late at week 42

Yah...but who is going to be the latest?!?!?!?
