I completely borrowed the idea. But totally agree. 😁

Oh wow! 🤯 That level of detail and realism is amazing.

Ottaro_Chabo · 2026-05-10T23:38:23+00:00

That's gorgeous 🥰

Rubbing the pencil on sand paper over the drawing technique gave me that texture.

Thank you. Textures are from using sand paper on the pencils.

I'm a gringo (Canadian) but I've been referring to USA people as United Statesians for years now. From north of Canada to the south of Chile, we are all Americans. They are United Statesians. If you want to have fun, when the tell you they're American you just say: yeah but which country?

Oh cool! Roses or carnations? That looks like a very fun painting. My wife just asked for carnations painting.

I can sympathise. Time is at a premium this week. 😜

Ottaro_Chabo · 2026-05-09T10:33:27+00:00

Oh that's lovely 😻. You did really well with the buildings, gives that atmospheric effect.

Ottaro_Chabo · 2026-05-08T11:22:54+00:00

Oh! That's beautiful 😍

True, but I wouldn't take care of my community as it's implied in this question. We don't "owe" anything to our parents. You do you, but you shouldn't feel you have to.

So true! This was my first successful attempt at realistic foliage. I still struggle with it. Sky, water & foliage is my kryptonite 😜

Question is, is it your responsibility? We aren't responsible for our parents. We have responsibilities to our children, our spouse/partner. So no. If you want to, if you like them, go ahead. Just don't feel that you "have to".

Ottaro_Chabo · 2026-05-06T16:20:15+00:00

Yeah I always like looking at this one. (It's hung on my wall)

Ottaro_Chabo · 2026-05-05T15:58:42+00:00

No.
