Once the sketch is finished, colouring it in isn't too hard since I use a soft brush for most of it!

ellastasia In reply to MiaLuyando [2009-01-12 03:16:57 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!! I'm pretty good, the ultrasound went well, as quick as it was! The clinic had so many people in line, I had to wait an hour and half just to get a 5 minutes ultrasound, but it's always so worth it to see the little heart beating. No twins though! She did mention that my uterus is sitting low and pretty far back, which would explain my sciatic pain. My stomach hurt a bit after the ultrasound because she had to push hard. I'm going to pick up some prune juice tomorrow, I feel another bout of constipation coming. I just feel so bloated all the time now! Thank you for your concern though, I'm sorry for yapping!

MiaLuyando In reply to ellastasia [2009-01-12 17:22:11 +0000 UTC]

No, talk all you want. Bloating can also be caused from salt intake so be careful of that. The carrying low explains the pains and even the size of your belly. Because the baby is low, the upper belly is swollen from the pressure put on your bowels and bladder. A pregnancy belt is also good, it holds the stomach up higher and keeps the weight at your back instead of pulling you forward. If you don't have access to such a thing, let me know. I have friends at Medela, the mothership of maternal wear and gear.

Hey, I heard of those pregnancy belts but never got around to really checking them out! The weight in my stomach became a really big issue for me in my first pregnancy, and I'm sure it will in this one too! It sounds like it'll help with preventing (some) stretch marks, too! I rarely visit a Babys-r-Us, but if they don't carry such a thing, you wouldn't mind if I contacted you about it? Thanks for the info Gells, you are so awesome!!

This is phenomenal! The hair just leaves me awestruck. She always did have the most gorgeous hair. Brilliant portrait!

Thank you! She certainly did!! Did you know that blondes have more hair on their heads than brunettes?

BloodyVoodoo In reply to ellastasia [2009-01-13 08:59:48 +0000 UTC]

I do remember reading that somewhere. She probably had twice as much as the average blonde.

ellastasia In reply to BloodyVoodoo [2009-01-16 22:46:22 +0000 UTC]

Definitely!! I think blondes have softer hair, too...I could be wrong though! I'm a brunette so yeah...jealous!!

Fantastic painting, Jess! Love the intense gaze, the contrast, her hair, OMG! This one is probably my favorite of your starlet paintings. I love this so much, I'd even hang this on my wall.

She was really that short? Wow, so much va voom in such a small package. This really is my fav so far. Are you going to print it out and hang it up?

Seems like you two have similar tastes!

Definitely--I guess it goes with the talent though...or just that she's a water sign and water signs can be so...alluring. lol! Weeelll maybe. I really should make a tangible portfolio of my digital works though...so should you! Have you been working on anything more after finishing up the baby portrait?

tanabatablossom In reply to ellastasia [2009-01-13 21:51:58 +0000 UTC]

Must be.
I already have a tangible portfolio of all my trad works, but not yet of my digital stuff. I hope this year I'll get to do that. I'm going to make a scrapbook with all my digital paintings in it for my Mom, since she only gets to see them on the computer.
No, I've been totally lazy after finishing Hayla. I have very little motivation to do any art work lately.

That's great! You know know, I haven't the nerve to pull things out of my 4 separate art sketchpads and stick them in a portfolio But having a digital portfolio would be so great, esepcially since it's all colour and you don't have to worry about smearing the paint! I know =patricktoifl created/published a book with all his artwork in it, and it looks so nice. I'd love to be able to do that, it would be great to have it all on your coffee table than having everyone crowd around the computer monitor! lol!

Aw, that sucks. Well, you're an artist, so I'm not worried about your "groove"--you will get it back for sure!
