wow, brilliant, i did a drawing of this girl on SS, inspired by Schlinders list, i thought it was amazing in the film when it was the first bit of colour you saw.

I remember it; I gave you a favourite for that animation!
Schindler's List is a great film on many different levels. Like you, I also found the symbolic use of colour very effective. I drew this picture with very basic tools and had to do it in one sitting, so I was not able to do it justice. It is one of my favourite images and hopefully one day I will have the opportunity to paint it in oils....

This is amazing, this is the sort of art I would stop if I saw it in a shop window and buy instantly it also kind of reminds me of a piece by banksy (The girl letting go of the red heart balloon) [link]
I think thats a link to view the piece that banksy did

Wow, thank you so much rubberduck!!! Yep, I know the balloon girl by Banksy, it's a great image! I can see how it reminds you of that. While no one knows the true message behind Banksy's image (other than Banksy), my interpretation of it is a lot more positive than the message of 'The Girl in Red'. When I think of the balloon girl (isolated from the accompanying text "There is always hope"), I think of reluctantly letting go of something cherished, in order to move forward and develop/grow. My drawing comes from the film 'Schindler's List'; a film about the holocaust. I take no credit for the colour choice of my drawing, as this is how the girl is depicted in the film. I guess the meaning behind my drawing is more about the unnecessary destruction of something truly innocent and defenceless.
Sorry for the long reply, sometimes I just talk too much 
Thanks again Rubberduck, I really appreciate your comment

well you definitely know how to draw! You have produced some fabulous art work wether it be based on real life or a film/thought/book etc I honestly don't know how you do it

I'm completely self taught, but if you ever need any tips, don't hesitate to ask. To be honest, it all really comes down to practice

Haha! I always find it funny reading back my old comments! I sound so pompous in this conversation!!!

And I sound extremely odd ha ha not like me at all,I think I was a wee bit shy

Me too!! And I think I just got a bit excited because I found someone who enjoys a conversation as much as I do!

I don't think I could help being a bit nervous ha ha I was talking to such a sketch star!
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha! Sketch star!?! That's pushing it a bit

Well you were of course,you were one of the SS celebs and yet you didn't let that all get to your head (none of you did) and you always were such an active member and commented on lots of peoples art,even me with 30 watchers ha ha
π: 0 β©: 1
Hehe! I just wish that I could be as active here on dA! For some reason I always managed to comment on everyone's art on SS, but here I just can't keep up!!

It's quite clear why it must be harder though,for a start you have alot more on your plate!
I get tired just reading all the stuff you have to do! Another point is animations/deviations no longer 'pend' whereas they did on sketch star therefore all artists can easily instantly publish anything and everything! I was not given any of the adult features on SS which was not right as after looking deeper in to the subject and creating a seperate account I discovered I could comment with my official birthdate when making the new account and because I joined SS under the limit it just took lots of those things like commenting away. I did try to contact them but surprise surprise I was met with a robot,which always seems to irritate me ha ha

Hahaha! 
You know, I think you're spot on with your 'pending' point
Tell me about it!! I used to get quite irritated by their automated replies too! How annoying that you had to create a whole new account!!

Ha ha no problem,I tried not to but hey you didn't know why you didn't have time to comment so I guessΒ you know now he he

Aw, it sure is sad how many contacts were lost with the demise of SS. Yes, it is practically impossible to communicate with someone using Miniclip w/o SS, not much you can say with a few pre-selected sentences...looking good

great drawing, very powerful image and nicely done

The girl in the red coat is probably one of my most favourite images, and I have always wanted to draw her. This is a panel in an online collaborative comic book. I drew it using the site's drawing tool, which is similar to those on SS, but even more basic. So it's not the best drawing, but it conveyed my message well enough.
