You said you had hit a slump, not knowing what to sketch. Well, while watching those movies, just hit pause occasionally and do quick sketches of the scene, then push play again. Your sketches are wonderful and finished, like I've said before, but I think sometimes a quick sketch is more relaxing. They help you get through the tough times, in my opinion. Then, when you see something wonderful to sketch, you won't be too tired to do it! Hoping to see more from you soon!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00231453420718519162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2040611642262461190.post-76394415664506260752009-10-14T01:33:46.506-07:002009-10-14T01:33:46.506-07:00...I love the background...like light spralkling s......I love the background...like light spralkling somehow...and then this half transparent petals...beautiful :-)jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02946715934799030055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2040611642262461190.post-15591954558962964292009-10-11T06:50:18.889-07:002009-10-11T06:50:18.889-07:00Thank you Tammy, Ann & Gary, Ellen, Spinnerett...Thank you Tammy, Ann & Gary, Ellen, Spinneretta, Kelly, Krista, Raena, Linisha, Nancy, Ramona, Dan, and Marancat :) All your words are kind and encouraging. I appreciate them a lot!<br /><br />I do think that I messed it up because the background is a little too geometrical than it should be, and it's a little rough(I know because I rushed it). Definitely something to fix there! I'll do another take with colors next time. ^^Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02621662753557056346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2040611642262461190.post-69479952353525815962009-10-10T02:58:29.001-07:002009-10-10T02:58:29.001-07:00A beautiful drawing, as usual!

I think you've conveyed the blurriness of the background while doing a marvelous job on the twig and flower! <br /><br />You drawings are awesome, each one is a "finished" drawing in itself.

I know in photographs that they can take a black and white and add just a hint of color to the main subject... if you still wanted to add a little color... maybe you could do it like this. However, in saying this, I think the drawing is simply amazing as it is too and I would be more than satisfied if I could achieve the results that you did with this drawing!<br />Very well done.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03325252061271957869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2040611642262461190.post-69990290965492670582009-10-09T09:32:58.923-07:002009-10-09T09:32:58.923-07:00I like the out of focus background!
