Right, well. I've reached that point again where something, or someone, has said or done something, which makes me or my brain, do something or somewhat, that makes art fun again.
Go me!

Last night spent a lot of time drawing and I actualy enjoyed it. I was mearly trying to replicate an old picture of mine (this one, coloured here), and I came up with this:

Maggie in the Snow 2

Its tweeked in a way that, its based on the recent special episode of Top Gear, in which two of the three presenters (Clarkson and May) drove to the north pole in a '07 Hilux pickup, while racing the other presenter (Hammond) on a dog sled. I tried searching for a picture of the truck on google so I could add it to the background, but could only find a older model of the same car.
The rest of the picture is pretty much the same story as with all of my pictures. Started out as an experiment, then developed into what you see.

Concrit is encouraged. I need help with this.


Edit: Oh, and by the way, does anybody have a problem with the 'Maggie bump' that I usualy draw? Most older Maggies I've seen usualy have Lisa or sometimes Bart shaped cheeks. The one I've always done was more to preserve the look she had as a baby while sucking her pacifier. But, does it spoil the picture with it being too different or, wrong? Opinions please.

Great job, Casper. The detail on the overall picture was wonderful; adding to its complexity. Maggie's overbite looks a bit more realistic in this one. Also, the shading is excellent, subtle enough to not notice on first sight, but good enough to add more to the picture.

Absolutely not, it's a distinctive and cute particular, not to mention that your explanation for it makes it even more "precious". So by all means keep it in your future piccies!
As forthe pic, definitely you're improved in drawing both Maggie (she looks more feminine here, not to mention cute!) and the background/objects, with a good hint of pencil shading that helps the picture not to become too clumsy. I have not really much of concrit here... love Maggie's hair falling back on her face!

Oh, maybe the wheel could be a bit rounder, and alos there would need to be a better contrast/difference of lines from Maggie to the vehicle, because like now they kind of blend with heach other, making difficult to see her left arm. This is all

You already know what I think but I shall comment properly on here.
Maggie looks fine, she's on model,..you may complain but really,...you were being a perfectionist It's great and I don't feel you can really do anything to improve it in anyway so I'm not going to add any crit to this...
I am impressed with how you drew the car...they're hard x_x I've tried before but failed...

Unfortunately I didn't get round to seeing that episode of Top gear cos I was on a long drive home and had quite a few busy days after, though my brother spoilt it for me anyway >_<

Anyway, overall it's a nice sketch indeed

Damn, you've all got such talent! I'm by no means a professional, but I like her laid back attitude, by which I mean her stance, clothing and sinking her hands into the hoodie pouch and also how it is combined with that sweet, charming look, like how her hair hangs down from the cap, friendly smile and her bright welcoming eyes with pretty eyelashes.
The drawing is explicit, and (I'm not good at this) it looks like she's waiting (and excited) to go take a ride with whomever she may be lookin at. Very impressive, I hope you'll have lots of fun drawing more of these! (and that my interpretation of them aren't way off lol.)

You took the time to comment my pics, now it's my turn 
 
A Fragment
I like this one, it's really well drawn. Lisa's reflection in water... how can I put this without hurting your feelings... Lisa's reflection in the water is AWESOME! (heheh, you thought I was going to say something bad  )

The Lodge
Nothing to say really, everything I said about the last pic applies here  , except for the "Lisa's reflection in the water" part, because you know, there's no water... Therefore she can't have a reflection... in the... water...

Thanks guys, really appreciate the words.

I really had a problem with her overbite, maybe due to not drawing enough or maybe most of the overbites I draw arnt very good, meaning I just need that vital ingredient; practice! The hair goes without saying, its a nightmare to get right.

I also feel I might have over done the shading in parts, could do with being toned down a bit. Definitely need to fill in all the gaps of white too, but I can blame it on it being a doodle, and not an 'important' picture to put lots of effort into. There is a feather in the water also which, funnily enough, was completely on accident. I did some of those lines by mistake and changed it to a feather to hide them.

Anyway, thanks again. Here's to mooowwaaa!!!

Casper
That vas pretty long ago since you posted something in the art section as I can remember. And I like that you still draw - inteseting and original art.

First one has calm and a bit sad mood. When she's looking like that I'm always interested what she thinks about so self-plunged. As if everything around exists no more, and only deep, sad thoughts...
The pic looks some ripped though

And the second has very good detail vork, I think you have already very developed abilities to draw something and not only Lisa, who's surely looks nice here. I only wonder where, in what deep forest she's located now? That wooden "izba" is something really surprising to see. As well as the work with trees, the ones almost perfect. But it's not dark picture and her playing with snowman is a very pleasant scene. Thank you for your works.

Thanks guys. I'll try and get some more up soon enough, been away a while but I'm still here!

'A Fragment' really was supposed to be a happy kinda scene. Lisa reflecting on the beauty of the sea, or something like that. I need to change the expression slightly if it is seen as a sad picture by it.

'The Lodge', I guess I wanted a bit of contradiction. Lisa alone in a scary wood full of leafless tree's in the cold of winter. But ofcourse, turning the negative to positive, so she can be happy in the snow.

Thank you all Onward!
