HELEN Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 Liking the preview very much Helen. The tree looks great and the colours work perfectly.10/10 Thank you so much. You kept me going with the image. Well, I finally finished. I know that there should be some more touches, but I don't want to look at it anymore; I worked on it for too long. Also, I really want to thank Oma for giving me tips and even providing me with step-by-step images on how to achieve the highlights. Thank you Oma!!!

oma Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 you are very welcome. I'm glad I could help. This turned out to be a truly lovely picture. ciao OMA Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HELEN Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 I know that some of the highlights aren't the way I wanted them to come out to, but I'm happy I finally finished this image. *sighs with relief* Quote Don't spit into the well, you might drink from it later. -----Yiddish ProverbGlossy Galaxy Ball---How to Make FoliageMy Gallery PDN Fans--My DA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oma Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 ahhh then its an even better picture. You've learned something, and you have the knowledge to perfect those highlights next picture. don't agonize and try and try to correct this one.move on to the next and apply what you've learned from this one. That's what makes good art. The ability to learn something within the picture you've just done, the ability to see where you can perfect it and the knowledge of how to achieve that look with less effort. I'd say an A++ project completed. Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goonfella Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 The sailboat in the moonlight at the beginning of your gallery is superb! Is it new or am I just blind because I don`t remember seeing before?(Would not be surprised if it was the latter!)

HELEN Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 No, it's something new that I added yesterday. I had to ask Oma for some help on the highlights and she helped me a lot with it. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have finished it. Thank you for coming in and commenting. :wink: Quote Don't spit into the well, you might drink from it later. -----Yiddish ProverbGlossy Galaxy Ball---How to Make FoliageMy Gallery PDN Fans--My DA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topezia Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Helen You have amazing drawing skills! I love most of your images, the sailboat in moonlight is kinda of magic with that deep blue color and the glowing light, the spaceship is super and I loved the shiny glossies too, Keep up!

Kat Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Helen, I admire your drawing skills - I have none! The ladybugs are just lovely, but the sailboat ... wow! I couldn't do that by hand, not to mention a computer! Looking forward to seeing more of your work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HELEN Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 Kat--Thanks. Your words motivate me, lol. Also, I added a new image to my gallery. It's something I did for my sister's yearbook. I hope you enjoy it and the rest who visit my graphics.

LFC4EVER Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 In your latest, the wind (logo) is really cool and creative. Nice job. The black background is plain though, try using a gradient for the background. It should make it look much better. Quote ☆★☆★Merry Christmas★☆★☆ .::.My Gallery.::.Make Gold Text!.::.

HELEN Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 @LFC4Ever: Well, I have to admit I got the ideas from some websites: I had to rearrange it a little and make some minor adjustments using pure pdn. @ Kemaru: They're blury? I checked on both of my computers and they're fine. :?

survulus Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I really like your wallpaper/abstract section, especially the sort of helix design on one of them And the second image- coolest fishy ever!! Really cool selection, has a definite style to it. Quote Check out all my newest stuff on my dA I iz bassist here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HELEN Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 Survulus, I was about to delete the whole section of the abstracts and wallpapers. You're the only one who commented on them; I guess I'll keep them there. lol. Thanks for stopping by.

HELEN Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 It is a UFO. I've seen UFOs many times (yeah, they're real), so I decided to draw one. .

HELEN Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 @Kerry: I'm glad you enjoyed those particular pictures. The pinkish/purple with the stars was actually one of my very first images I did. I enjoyed it! @Goonfella: Yeah, it's sort of me, except I don't do my hair in pigtails. I have a passion for skateboarding since both boys and girls did when growing up in the 90s, but since people have the wrong impression of "skater" these days, I decide to keep these comments to myself....well, and on this forum. @Overkill: Glad you visited and commented on the girl. @Kat: Well, you're the second person then. lol. I will leave them there. I'm not really into abstracts, but I enjoy playing around instead doing an actual image sometimes and those abstracts are my results.

HELEN Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 I wanted to try out the airbrush technique, so I drew this rose. I know the squiggles in the back are not that great, but please disregard that. The main focus is on the rose. I was trying it out for another graphic I'm working on.
