Sorry for the late response, my dear Claudia. I spent little time on DA because the system was so slow and so frustrating when you've got little time. Thank you for the feedback

your colors mixure is so beautiful. also the light!
i like how you painted his fingers. crossing each other...must be hard to do.
his legs done also very well kneel this way.
hey, you also let the color to drip, or you painted it like its driping?
the face i personaly don't like very much because he looks like a monkey!

If only you could see it in real, the colors are more vibrant and the man's face more expressive. As a whole, I'm happy with this work. I painted this when I already got sick. But I had a deadline to meet, and luckily things went smoothly. Re the dripping, I applied very wet glob of paints and I tilted the paper to let it run. That was to show the poor man was sitting near a filthy, stained wall. Sorry if you do not like his face, but that's trivial. I'm happy you like the rest of the painting Thank you for comment and fav.

That makes me feel good if you could see the emotion in his face, that's very important to me. I'm a bit unhappy that my photo is awful. I hope to get a better photo next time when I can. Thank you very much for your much appreciated comment and fav

Thank you Danny for your feedback. I was happy to have painted a human again, after so many animals

Martywolf92 In reply to milbisous [2008-10-14 05:20:57 +0000 UTC]

hehehe humans are complex. Well not in the way of art, i'd say animals are harder to paint than humans.

Anytime.

milbisous In reply to Martywolf92 [2008-10-15 03:29:10 +0000 UTC]

That's your opinion. I feel less stressed painting animals, because nobody could say there is no likeness With humans, I have to pay more attention to details. Want to see something cute? Here [link]

Martywolf92 In reply to milbisous [2008-10-15 05:38:44 +0000 UTC]

haha yes thats my opinion until i actually see what its like to paint animals. They would be more fun though but its more the furry ones that would be hard. haha thats very true. And i like details.

Okay! awwwwww.. so sweet! They were holding hands then let go and the other one come back to hold hands again. so cute! Thanks for showing me.
