Impressive for sure. Like the crisp lines and your shading. Did you use anything else besides the actual keyboaed for reference?

How did you do the ground, Frances? I'm curious.

Still working on thangka image of the Medicine Buddha and four Healing dakinis. Friday 29th I will attend an 11-day course on thangka drawing in a Buddhist centre. Aim is to make this final

but there is still a lot of work to do.

Great thing is that I already have a buyer for a first print - someone from Brooklyn. Good incentive to work hard

Very beautiful!

Amazing work and your website even more so.

I see on your website that you licence out your work.

There are several Tamils and East Indians in our office.

Would they be interested in a particular piece?

I would like to show them an example if possible.

You might want to have a look here http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/f...n-der-zee.html. If images are used for non-profit organisations with little or no money, please contact me for special pricing.
For a complete thangka with brocades, contact me too. Prices are very dependent on size and material, e.g. end caps at the bottom pole range from $ 12 to $ 150 (difference between wood and 24 krt gold plated

).
For all your Facebookies: search for Digital Thangka (there are 2 of them - one will be me) to follow my drawing progress.
_{I will of course keep uploading images here but not as much as I do on my artist page :P}

The website is also done entirely in Xara - still has a bug with the menu though that I have to sort out.

Fred - Your images are magical. You might consider adding a gallery (free) on Artflakes http://www.artflakes.com

**Fred vanderZee** · 24 July 2012, 09:10 PM

Will take a look there. Thanks for the link!

Hi Zeb, apologies, I haven't been ignoring you, I havent been following this thread the last few days. I created the ground starting with two rectangles in different shades of brown, one lighter one darker, then I applied a bitmap transparency using a stone texture from the fills gallery. Then I grouped the two layers and used the embossing filter to give the texture a bit of height and next I used the mold tool and a floor perspective mold to get the perspective and to achieve the darker ground farther away I painted in some very soft shapes with the shapebuilder and gave them an enhance transparency and I lowered the brightness of the image in those areas.after that I simply clipped the whole works with the rest of the background.
