ROFL. 
Y’know, Rebecca, when it’s gotten so bad that you resort to sniffing postits, well, I don’t really know what to say to that. :surprised

LMAO…you know, that sketch is completely appropriate, because I typically cover my monitor in post~its!
It’s scary when you can’t find your CPU because it’s covered in a heap of notes…:rolleyes: 
“Notes”, huh? Uh-huh. Riiight.

And just so I don’t single-handedly derail the thread.
You’ve got a nice handle on skin tones.
And that dog is adorable. 
sigh… well I did get the nose right … sort of … alright its horrible. :sad:
oh well did get another cartoon drawing done.
Its perfectly normal.
so I was browsing around on my harddrive - as i often do - and stumbled upon some old paintings of mine … they were kinda neat so I thought I’d share them
.
the anatomy of a sphere…
this one was made in a rather clumsy program called painter.
David,
Nice paintings, both! What’s with these perfect, beautiful spheres? Is that from a Scott Robertson DVD as well? Mike Rollinson (default.rol) has a pair of beauts on his Anatomy Thread as well…I’m thinking there’s a bug going around…wish I could catch it! 
Cheers,

Alright so I think I’m done with the portraits for this week… well almost 
another portrait speed painting:
David,
This has been an amazingly prolific week for you! 
Do you have any of Burne Hogarth’s books? I highly recommend them, particularly “Drawing the Human Head” which is really great for showing how to break down all sorts of angles in a simplified fashion. 
I may have brought the books up before, if I have, blame it on the early onset Alzheimer’s…
Cheers, 
~Rebeccak
Glen (spirit dreamer) recommend Hogarth’s book some while back… I’ve been on the lookout for them but they are really hard to come by over here and I haven’t had any luck yet :sad:.
Hmm, I’m really sorry to hear that…
I think I will have to work out an international Hogarth distribution program with his publisher, as it seems lots of folks are having a hard time finding his books…:shrug:
David,
Lol, why promise not to do more work on your Anatomy Thread? 
These portraits are cool…do you think you’ll be participating in the next OFDW?
:arteest:
Cheers,
~Rebeccak
Corvax, man, you are absolutely back with a vegeance on your own thread! 
And these cartoons of yours - whatever you do: don’t stop making them! I laughed my head of over each and all of them!
Want… see… more…

ah, do I need to add that the portraits you do are great, too? They remind me a bit of Daniel Helzer’s portraits. I think you might like them. Check out his thread in the WIP-section.
RebeccaK :
well I’m not gonna stop working on my thread, I’m just laying of faces for a while becouse honestly I’m not very good at them… 
Mu: sure I’ll do more cartoons … but I’m gonna hold back on those too, else they are just gonna get really bizarre, as I run out of material… 
a bit of a self portrait… 
David,
If that’s a self~portrait, then you’re babetastic! :applause: Unfortunately, my strongest muscle at the moment is the one which I use to click the mouse! 
Seriously, nice work! I think the arms are a bit short, and there needs to be a bit more of a transition from the upper to the lower torso. It’s funny, you have a real diversity of styles, from highly realistic, to cartoons, to something in between. Which do you prefer? 
Cheers, 
~Rebeccak
lol… yeah unfortunately this is properly a more accurate depiction of me…
phew… though question… I really don’t know, it all depends on my mood and whatever occupies me at the given moment.
I guess its connected to that I never “learned” to draw, I just learned from copying work that I liked, whether that was from the newspapers funny pages, action comicbooks or Michelangelo :shrug: , and honestly there isn’t really that long from my OFDW paintings to the comicstrips, a lot of the same principals still apply.
