Description Full View Please

So this is a brand new, never before seen picture and poem from my upcoming children's book "Tales From Honoville Falls". The poem is nothing too fancy, but I figured kid's would find it funny alongside the drawing. This is a slightly different approach towards doing colored versions of my poetry pieces. I originally did a sky in the background, but it was kind of too much for this particular pic. Plus, I don't want to have 30+ drawings with blue skies. Make sense? I actually think that this turned out looking really sharp with the contrast between the colors and the white. Let me know what you think. Ink, PS, Tablet.

hrmm... sorry but it's not your best poem, it is clever however and it works great with the picture. So overall well done

TinysBlood In reply to DickStarr [2007-02-26 16:20:07 +0000 UTC]

sorry if that sounded kind of rude. But the poem just doesn't have that "oomph" I guess you could say that almost all of your other poems have. However, like I said it still works well, the picture really enhances it.

... it's grown on me, and I quite like it now, my buddy was talking about making a doctors appointment and I instantly got the image of the apple hitting the doctor in the head and found it quite funny

i like it and being a kid at heart i got a chuckle out of the poem.

how did you make the apple fade ?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

DickStarr In reply to twistedmentality [2007-02-25 03:37:46 +0000 UTC]

Thanks a lot man. I faded them by changing the opacity of each individual apple. It's pretty simple, you can either put the apple on a separate layer and adjust the layer's opacity, or lower your eraser's opacity to about 10% and just click the mouse a couple of times.
