Description This was originally going to be a mothers day card for my girlfriend Christine's mom. It's a watercolor of my lovely Christine and our sweet kitty "Boot" .. But both Chris and I liked it enough to where we both agreed that there's still time until Mother's Day for me to do another one.. *sheepish grin* Hey Chris, your mother isn't much of an online person, is she?

Really sweet, nice emotion. Honestly, her left leg seems seems kind of wonky, I think it's just the angle. Legs are a real pain in the butt to draw folded up.

And this reminds me of [link] *grin* That's me.

Huzzah for emo pieces with kitties!

Yeah, I definately need to do some more life drawing.. Thanks for the crit.. I can see the oddness about the legs.. THE LEGS! I'TS ALWAYS THE LEGS!! *shakes fists*

fetusprophet In reply to basakward [2005-04-15 21:03:13 +0000 UTC]

*laughs* Tell me about it! It's alway the legs that take me the longest to figure out (that's assuming I ever figure them out at all). And you're not the only one who could benefit from more life drawing. I've been meaning to get out and do gestures for longer than I'd care to admit.

longlivethefonz [2005-04-15 01:20:46 +0000 UTC]

That's incredibly sweet....
Remember how I said I was going to give "Art & Romance" to my boyfriend?
I did and he LOVES it. He felt the same sentiment I did.
Love this one too.

shawnibuya [2005-04-14 16:42:52 +0000 UTC]

Love the hands, especially the one on the kitty. The feet are really nice as well, urmm.....my only 'advanced critique' comment would be about her pants, the fabric looks a little loose to be jeans.
But other than that it's very very nice

basakward In reply to shawnibuya [2005-04-14 18:19:54 +0000 UTC]

Hmm.. Well I'll definately take that into consideration.. I should do more life drawing.. *l*

shawnibuya In reply to basakward [2005-04-14 21:21:08 +0000 UTC]

life drawing might help...if the model is wearing clothes.
I always found the idea of having costumed life drawing rather interesting, but sadly my school doesn't do that......
You could always go out and stare at people's jeans and sketch them.....of course they might think you're a little strange but...

basakward In reply to SirMartin1 [2005-04-14 18:48:49 +0000 UTC]

Well, it's a super-tough choice between the two, but after sleepless nights of constant inner-struggle, I've decided that I'm going to marry Christine instead of Boot.. But thankfully Boot is very forgiving.

Nope, I did it all with traditional paints and such.. I'm trying to get more into the traditional watercolors these days. I spend more than enough time on the computer.

Hey I would do the same thing...theres nothing like the real thing. Especailly watercolor...it cant be duplicated on the computer.
