I'm sure most graffiti spots look alike Its a shot off my iPhone, so that did limit how much I could enhance it. I did go back with a DSLR, but I liked this shot better so its the only one I have of the spot.

Any who - thanks much

I've been there twice already, its hard to photography there, I mean capturing the area in a unique way isn't easy. The second time I was up that way, I had my dslr with me, I shot an HDR, but I didn't feel like recreating the photo you've already made...its rough

LOL. Well glad you liked the scene. Try different angles instead of straight on. The other good thing is they change it so much that even if you take the same shot, there's different art work so it will look entirely different.

That's just the thing, the odd angles are the ones that are most common, artists and their originality

I guess so, if you put it that way - then the graffiti's were lucky The odd thing is no one knows who the artists are - its all very Banksy-ish, I guess?

And at you and Dan

I think they were. They are seen by the world!
It is!

It's so odd that when I strike up a conversation with one of my friend's on another artist's picture, the owner of the picture always notices I don't get how. But It shall be continued!

Dude - you're Relentless - you can't quit Have you tried looking at your drawing in the mirror ? - Helps in spotting mistakes when drawing sometimes.

Of course I can! I quit all the time!
Yes I do that, but I saw the mistakes anyway. But I solved the problem by now
Now I want to make patterned paper and redraw the whole thing on that

How you be Relentless and a quitter? Unless you're a Relentless Quitter?

I don't see the point of doing things if they make you feel bad. Like when you told me to stop reading the awful book I had.

Once I made a lineart with which I'm satisfied, I like to do another one because then the next will be really good (or I hope so)

Kamal-Q In reply to creyk [2012-06-08 20:51:08 +0000 UTC]

There's doing things that make you feel bad, like watching Glee (for example ) - but then there is working hard at something, toward a goal/skill - that requires going through pain, growth - know what I mean (its like working out)? Art is the same, it takes a long time to acquire it - but you'll get to where you want to be if you keep at it Be Relentless

creyk In reply to Kamal-Q [2012-06-08 21:15:27 +0000 UTC]

You made me laugh with that Glee one! And so true! When the directors are being stupid, they are just being stupid (and yes, I'm aware of that I don't make too much sense with that sentence, but who cares)

You could have a point there. I did feel a lot of that in the past, specially with my work called "La La Land". I suffered a whole month with that one.

But I finished the new lineart, and I quite like it^^I just finished the Iris, and I personally think it's very good (it was exactly 1 hour and 35 minutes to make it) So now to the rest of the eye!

Kamal-Q In reply to creyk [2012-06-09 11:15:17 +0000 UTC]

Admit it, you secretly hate Glee

I think its the bad artwork, the mistakes, that we learn from most. I bet you learned a lot from "La La Land"

1 hour and 35 minutes on an iris I'm sure it is very good

Maybe I do...I did prefer the first half of this season. The first half was much better with all the backstabbing and yelling at each other

Thanks

I think it is the most detailed one I did so far, and the biggest one too

Be careful, if you walk around with a duck-face on in heavily populated areas you're likely to be swarmed (zombie-like) by people taken in by your beauty

It was a really contagious thing so I will spare your mind from the trouble

I started doing the cute animals, and they are going well I designed the giraffe, and I did it in a way which you'll (hopefully) like It's not only cute, but a little bit insane too. If I remember well, you said you like that^^
