Tacoma Church

[alanstancliff]

My wife and I were walking in our neighborhood in Tacoma, a small city in the northwestern section of the USA. There is a small neighborhood church, and I took a photograph of it. I used that photo as a source for this picture.

That's really nice Alan a beautifully drawn picture.What program did you use to draw it.?

[alanstancliff]

Thanks Para,

I did the picture in Painter and the frame in Paintshop.

Lovely drawing Alan. Did you do all the work with a mouse?

[handrawn]

nice one alan
I wheeled back my chair and looked at it from a distance of 6 foot or more [as you would with a painting] and on my high res screen it really looks great
well done

[alanstancliff]

Thanks for all the nice comments, everyone.

Soquili,

I use a Wacom tablet, the small Intuos. A lot of what I drew I traced from the photo, and in a bitmap program like Painter, it's just not practical to draw with a mouse, in my opinion. I even use my Wacom in my Xara experiments.

Regards,

Alan

Naw, I glued it to the picture with Super Glue. You'd need an army of stout ruffians to pry it loose!
