If you want to see the actual photo and the progression from start to finish then go to my journal and start with the entry entitled, "Painting Project #1 part 1". enjoy!

I like that animated gif you have of it in your sig...I think I'll try that with my next painting or drawing, showing the different stages

 

[nbcrusader]

Motion carries. daafish is officially amazing!

 

[Cleasai]

K, I know I should feel awkward for staring at Sicy but damn that's hella good As Abel said I like how the signature looks too

 

[Cleasai]

Btw what media is she done on anyways? The brush strokes aren't typical of what you'd see in Acrylic and the colors seem to be too vivid for watercolors.

 

[Sicy]

Seriously it kinda scares me to look at it lol
Especially the pencil drawing that baby showed me last weekend. It felt like I was staring at myself

 

[daafish]

what medium do you think it's done in?

 

[zonelistener]

Motion carries. daafish is officially amazing!

[daafish]

Ok, I tell you. Acrylic

 

[ABEL]

I like acrylic, it's what I usually use ...I've never even tried oil painting

 

[Cleasai]

Sorry I was playing with Daisybeans Mapmaker

That's not acrylic lol Seriously though I just realized that the drawing looks simular (same pose, expression) to one my mom did of herself back in the 60s! I'm gonna go dig through her stuff to find it and show you guys.

So Sicy, how does it feel to be able to tell people that you're officially a model

 

[Cleasai]

Oil painting is kinda messy and you have to wait days for the paint to set. But overall it's kinda fun to work with cause it blends so much nicer

I can't find my mom's drawings

 

[Sicy]

Why dont you think its acrylic?

I'm not a model

 

[daafish]

You could be a model, beautiful!

here's an oil I did back in 96'

it's 4' x 3'

 

[Cleasai]

It looks like watercolors, although I guess you could water down the acrylic paint...

nevermind then

You are to a model silly wonderbat! you're officially Daaafishy's model

 

[ABEL]

Re: Why dont you think its acrylic?

I'm not a model

you could be

 

[ABEL]

Oil painting is kinda messy and you have to wait days for the paint to set.

this is mostly why I don't use oils. I'm too impatient to wait for it to dry

i'm sure if I had my own studio, or garage to work in I might be more apt to try it too...I don't want to get my apartment all messy either

 

[Cleasai]

*giggles* I see boobies Just kidding. Another masterpiece Is there any media form that you haven't tried already but would like to?

 

[daafish]

Glass.

 

[Sicy]

You guys are sweet
