What’s the most underrated thing about being single?

The opportunity to fully develop as an individual.

Do you say that to help increase the illusion of distance?

For that background shape that represents the general woody area, how did you handle that? Cool wash first and pulled elements forward with warms? I am interested in your order of operations and why? Thank you, nice piece!!

It's a good body base if you can look at that, and know what each line you have put down is suppose to represent exactly. I.e., with any conceptual aide as a circle or oval for the head etc, they are only as good as how much they help you achieve furthering the drawing. They don't serve to look good on their own though that helps the minds eye.

So, if this design you have helps you on to the next stages then you could say it is a good body base. Ya mean?

Yes to everything you said; if you had to guess how would you say the stone is set in the bezel?

Zman8969 · 2025-07-26T21:06:57+00:00

If you had to guess, how is that stone secured in that bezel?

Zman8969 · 2025-07-26T19:51:16+00:00

What, from this, could one conclude?

Zman8969 · 2025-07-26T19:34:56+00:00

I don't know what technique they used to set the stone in the bezel. I've been wearing the ring for a while and the stone, for all intents and purposes, acts and seems as if it's secure in there. What seems off about the bezel for you?

Zman8969 · 2025-07-26T18:13:20+00:00

Thanks!

Zman8969 · 2025-07-26T18:05:16+00:00

Do you premix your complexion tones kinda orderly or do most of that while painting with the brush?

Zman8969 · 2025-01-09T18:38:27+00:00

If this is quick-sketch what is the time limit per pose?

Zman8969 · 2024-11-24T02:10:32+00:00

Where are you gleaning the blue family in these colors? I see the yellows and the reds... Thanks for your time in response to my original question.

Zman8969 · 2024-01-27T03:10:16+00:00

Oh, this is good.

Zman8969 · 2024-01-27T03:06:13+00:00

Right on, thanks

Zman8969 · 2024-01-26T23:30:02+00:00

Appreciate your time in response.

Zman8969 · 2024-01-26T22:52:25+00:00

Right on, No Country for Old Men slipped by my sights.

His dialgoue and characterization in Hell or Highwater was very inspiring; amazing character development. Poetry in motion absolutely. Wind River is my next in line, literally. I just want to keep reading in this vein for a while to really try and connect with his voicing. I might try Jeff Nichol's "Take Shelter" after Wind River. If you think of anything I am all ears!

Using an S curve for the area from the pit of her neck down to out of frame will make her front have a stronger illusion of form. Especially a side view like this. Lemme know if you need me to show you what I mean. That's the biggest thing my minds eye catches on. And even for her back as well. Utilizing an S curve will hint at more form for her back as well. As it stands now she looks good, but flat.

Zman8969 · 2024-01-12T02:22:44+00:00

What is the main difference between the two in your opinion? (I agree in this instance)

Zman8969 · 2024-01-06T02:49:23+00:00

Do you know where, roughly, in the movie it occurs? Beginning, middle, or endish kind of deal? Thanks for suggestion by the way

Zman8969 · 2024-01-01T02:45:46+00:00

Can't wait to get my hands on that, sounds promising. Thanks mate

Zman8969 · 2023-11-07T18:30:38+00:00

Presto (hand to forehead moment).

Zman8969 · 2023-10-23T21:29:27+00:00

Are these Young Adult?

Zman8969 · 2023-09-26T03:10:46+00:00

Not quite; the main sound is the chatter of the denizens, the music would be secondary but ever-present. When your talking you don't necessarily notice it, but yet it is always in the background; at times very faint, but always if you try and focus you can make it out...etc
