Dawn!

Welcome back!

please please please if you have the time or inclination would you fix the links to your images. they are so lovely. It's a shame to see a broken link box below your posts.

Thanks Athena, I usually take the images down after they been up for awhile. I just never got into the habit of letting them there...Sorry...

ok I leave my monitor on all the time. (my computer too for that matter)

and when I first saw your portrait I thought the highlight on the forehead was too bright. but now more than 30 min later, I look at this and the highlight seems just right.

I'm guessing this is a lesson in letting the image settle into the monitor?

800X600x32 *shrug*

hehe yes I use 800x600 to read important things like the forum. Maybe when I get a 21 or 22 inch monitor I'll switch to 1024x768 (which does happen to be my preferred resolution for working in painter).

ok Ciao!

Very nice toning and lighting [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

The tonal range and lighting make your head look very 3d almost photographic.And the speculars look like the reflection you would get from porcelain.Actually when I first saw this image I was not sure if you had used a bitmap of a poercelain head because of the excellent toning blends [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Hi Dawn,

Very nice drawing. Doing portraits on a computer is difficult. You have done an excellent job. The tones in the face make it very real, and the hair is great.

I prefer the fishie

If you don't restore the fishie to its rightful home I'll have to get Panfer's floaty coffin shaman to pay you a dream visit.
