That painting is amazing. I tried that once for an art assignment and failed miserably. Then again, I hated the subject I was painting and the teacher, which probably didn't help any. :)

Thanks :D

I cheat all the time though since I'm more of a draw-er. For this one I took a picture of it, tuned it to black and white, and made a detail sketch onto the canvas before I actually touched brushed on the paint haha.

Still fantastic. I have a thing for pencil and paper. I've tried almost everything else and I do really enjoy painting/collaging/chalk pastels, but pencil is so simple. I'd really love to get more into comic drawing, to be honest, but my art teacher doesn't/didn't believe it was 'a true form of art' so that didn't happen. And yet i still took the class. -_-"

Pencils are the best in my opinion. It's such a basic medium, one that everyone uses on a regular basis from the age of five. So its more focused on the subject and content rather than wasting time trying to figure out how to work another medium.

You should get back into it! And your art teacher is ridic. Anyone artist should be able to recognize the skill and technique that goes into comics and manga.

Exactly! Your hand already knows how to curve and hold it. Well, it should. I also love the fact that all it takes is a pencil crayon and you can add colour to one thing or another and magnify something amid simple black and white.

I will. Well, I'm wanting to anyways. Which is one of the reasons I'm looking forward to summer so much. More time for drawing/reading. <3
