Yeahh... I think artistic talent is hereditary, in a stretched way. My mom's a verryyy good realistic artist. Photograph-like. I'm pretty artistic (Without sounding too full of myself there.), but I'm more into comics and the like. I can do those, but tell me to draw something I see and it comes out comical, not realistic.. I should probably practice more.

I hope they stick with. Here are the painting photos. What a cardinal sin using flash photography. If I was in a museum I would be arrested!!

The painting depicts the poor peoples mass where they were made to sit in the hall instead of invited into the main santuary because of their low class status. The first picture is taken with the flash far away so you can see how dark the painting actually is. If you were to view it in person, you would have to stand 1 foot away to see it. But it is amazing. The candles actually appear to flicker. The remaining shots are done close up with a flash (again I should be arrested) at close range. Note the cracks in the paint. Again, this is done on wood, not canvas. The carbon dating shows it to be early 1700's and was done in Holland. Last picture is my daughter's bedroom door. We need more sketch pads as these were done on lined paper! LOL!

Comic art is a completely different ballgame...it's hard to do realism when you're a comic artist and vice versa. I'm horrible at doing comics, but I'm trying to teach myself. I really love comic books and it kills me to struggle when I try my own.

Do you have any comics scanned so I can see?

Good!
Well...study first, and then use art to relax

I used to use acrylics...and I started oils about a year ago...and they are SO much easier. You can blend so much better with the oils...if you ever get the chance to learn, DO IT!

ps
I added another drawing I just finished (I have nooooo psych classes this semester so I have much more time to do stupid drawings)

I love it! i Love! I love it! You hate it compared to how much I love it( hehe sowwie...was watching Madagascar the other day!)
I really like the eyes, very natural

noses are hard... but its always the lips that i mess up on...

hereditary art skills... skipped a generation in my family... haha. both my dad's parents were artists, his mom studied with diego rivera, and went to study in france and parsons... so thats awesome... everyone says i take after her, so its all good ;D haha

celticgirl... i love your paintings... haha, i was really confused at first bc of the flash... and then i got that it was flash, and its really beautiful...

oh, i love sculpture too... what kind are you doing? thats what i did over the summer... my art doesnt really relate to this board in anyway, haha... actually i have to do an art project on breakfast on pluto (the book) and i am really thinking of lying and using one of my sculptures from the summer (teehee)... oh, but im so excited, im going to belize, and lots of time to relax and draw there ;D
and iwant to work in oils really badly... i just dont paint... bc im not a fan of acrylics... over the summer i started experimenting with latex paint, which is really interesting, but you know, not for painting painting...

Oh, yeah, didn't think you would. I could've sworn I saw a yellow submarine. But that's not logic now. Is it? It must've been one of them "Unidentified Flying Cupcakes". Or a figment of me imagination. But I don't have an imagination.

Thank you.
Today I showed my art professor and he told me that I'm a master at tonal drawings. That meant a lot coming from him.

btw.
I took pictures as I was drawing it:
