hehe, i dont think you should try to draw on the mirror with your wacom pen.

this is fantastic as usual, do you find it hard to do loose stuff like this after the ultra detailed, tight portraits like the accountant one you posted?

This is very good, you've managed to keep the picture "alive".. I like the monitor light reflection on your glasses, I think it's pretty important detail.

This one and the gameboy playing boy are my favorite pics of you which you did latley.
Me likes especially the loose feeling
of this one.
My suggestion would be to add more colorvariations -the skin tone is very creamy/white IMHO.
Hope you will do more of this
kinda like them more as the fine rendered pics

very nice!

something about the nose though.. it looks a bit flat, maybe? i think the definition of the right side of the nose could be a bit more detailed (regardless of the loose nature of the pic).

Nice commnets... thanks...

Yeah, Waylander... I may do a bit more work on it...

I posted it on the WetCanvas forum whose membership is mostly traditional artists. One member asked what a Wacom tablet was, so I made this picture... kind'a fun

"Hmm, you've been wounded. Hold still, this won't hurt a bit..."

Sorry, had to add that

So thats what a tablet looks like, somehow I thought they'd be smaller. Gotta get one of those, and maybee I'll be as good as you.

I have a smaller one.. its like 5x8 inches

SWANY... actually this is the way I really run my system...

The first picture was just meant to explain a tablet to someone that wasn't even sure what I was talking about when I made reference to a tablet. I simplified it to a one monitor system, 'cause explaining two monitors would have detracted a bit from the purpose of an explanation about tablets... but in fact, that said, I use a two monitor system, so I rotate the tablet 90 degrees clockwise and set its settings for a portrait oriention. That way, the upper part of the tablet controls the top screen and the lower part controls my drawing screen...

I'd have never thought to do it that way. I'll have to think about that when I get myself a second monitor.
