wow! That was so cool to be able to see you draw this step by step. Man, I love to see how other artists approach drawings. too cool!

Glad you liked it! I love it so much when other people show their work to the class. Of course in my case, there's a lot of "Look how I screw up! Look how often and how badly!" XD

I am crushing SO HARD right now.

He's such a doggy dog! The details and the drawing and redrawing and drawing again are wonderful to see, and a privilage one doesn't normally get to see at all, and the truck up on breezeblocks, and the tyre and the colours are harmonious and subtle and delicious.

OMnomnomnomnom. What a comment. Less than threes and less than pounds and less than EVERYTHING.

Hee, I never knew they were called breezeblocks! Because a breeze can go through? Cinderblocks here. ;)

Thank you so very much, dear.

Certainly :)

This looks awesome. Rumsfeld is adorable and I really like the car and the junkyard background. The limited color palette works amazingly well! and the process video was fascinating. I envy your mad skillz with all kinds of graphics programs. I once tried to draw with Inkscape and didn't manage to produce much of anything...

Aww, you are very very kind, thank you!

I love it when other people post process videos. I always learn something.

Oh! Hey, I should pimp this to you -- although you may already know of it -- an art blog I've been reading the feed of lately, Gurney Journey. He has little bite-sized lessons every day on various topics. He explains things so that even I can understand them, which is awesome.

Inkscape is almost entirely over my head. I know how to use the calligraphy tool, which I find really pleasant and swishy and... sort of wet feeling. But that's pretty much the extent of what I've learned.

I tried the calligraphy tool too. When I tried it, I thought I might use it instead of GIMP to ink the pencils of my avatars for my icons, because I had seen someone say that they used Inkscape for inking and coloring their online comic. And then I tried, and I couldn't get a handle on it all ( ... )
