er somewhere soemone said soemthign about a sacred chao after i said i draw better ones or somethin, and i said i'd post one if i found one laying abouty. well i found my book of squiggly lines which is my doodle book from when i was quite mad, and scanned the one that's in tehre. it's a few years old and i draw them much better now, btu they take a good few horu sto draw properly, and i tend to leave them in naughty palces. but in any case, this gives a jist as to what they may look like.

Wow! This is very cool.
I like the squiggly lines and have kind of
been experimenting with them myself lately.
Are you gonna post more? I hope so.
thats just how all my school papers look like on the edge.
I seldom draw something specific, mostly such squiggly lines and trees
i drew these while thinking baotu entorpy or someat, and the firstone is a concptualization of a pocket of entropy- divisionless and uniform, fading into a pocket of negative entorpy, wild and erratic. the 2nd is a conceptof a whole system, tho not in very good detail or anything.

those are all teh half decent ones from that book i'm afraid. [/img]
You gave me the idea of using a toothpick to inscribe something on the order of the first picture you posted into the background of the painting I started last night. That first layer of paint is quite dark, so it's kind of hard to see the lines, but I know they're there - which makes it much more fun.
hidden images are always fun. i've had the thought to make pcitures which always had hidden images in them, but i jsut haven't been arsed to do so.
My friend once came up with the idea of attaching masks to everyone in a particular painging......masks that the viewer could remove. She also wanted me to somehow make paintings with multiple layers, like onions - so that people could peel them away one by one until they came to the "true" painting underneath. Can't figure out how in the world to do such a thing, but it's a cool idea.

well i reckoned i woudl use transparncy effects in psp or something. my digital art aint that great, butmy physical art is worse. i plan to combien them into somethign decent.
in any case my art tends to be heavy on concept rather than actual skill. dawign good is hard :/
That's why I paint - it doesn't require great techinical drawing skill.
My old boss was telling me yesterday that she did a self portrait using transparencies. I'd like to see it one of these days.
i useck worse with paint thananythign else. my prefered media is pen overall, because my 7th grade art teacher told me that you couldn;t draw with a pen. funy thing is i can do almost anythign with a pen msot people can do with a pencil, depending on the pen.(including shade)

Your teacher actually said that? What a maroon!
But at least it inspired you.
I usually finish my watercolors off with pen. I like to make squiggly lines for shading - especially on portraits. And sometimes, I sneak in words and symbols among the squiggles. It amuses me to have secret messages that other people probably won't ever know are there.
i like hidden messages.
i hid one in this post.
can you find it?
You guys keep that up and you'll be making art spookier than a collection of Austin Osman Spare paintings.
I like spooky art.
The spookier the better.
Austin Spare's stuff moves around a bit if you leave it out.
Oooh....nice.
I usually paint stuff that looks fluffy and sweet until you look a bit more closely. Or at least that's the intent. Sometimes I pull it off and other times it fails miserably.
I had an art thing going similar to horab's Line art. I'd start with a bunch of lines and wherever they crossed I'd start out shading reall heavy and then the further I ghot from the junctions, the lighter the lines became. Wherever the shadings would meet they'd interact in certain ways, like lines of force. I have about 20 or 30 of these somewhere on paper... Maybe I'll post a couple. If I can find them.

I prefer the rennaisance approach to iconography. The blatant symbolism is very powerful (even though I don't care for the subject matter). It's something that a lot of the Surrealists do. Schim Schimmel is one of my favourites because of the way he uses the awesome size of space to impress a message of environmentalism that is both soft and well-spoken, but also has a sense of brevity and reverence that is lacking in many environmentalist messages.
It brings a different quality to a painting, it brings it alive more makes it stand out.

Yes, but it usually passes after they have left the "educational system."
i wish i had art skill- i really can't draw.
Quote from: Slartibartfasti wish i had art skill- i really can't draw.
Neither can I. But I am taking a drawing class this summer and it really isn't that hard. Not that I am any good, mind you, but it isn't that hard. Just takes lots and lots of practice.
And lots of cookies.

Everything takes lots of cookies, gnimbley.
Slarti, I can't draw as well as I'd like to. But I can paint.
One doesn't necessarily have to be able to draw more than basic shapes in order to paint.
Painting is all about color and rythm and form, and you can do that.
I've seen your cartoons.
Besides, I firmly believe that anyone who truly learns to see something can draw it.
There's a great book called "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" that can show just about anyone how to draw.
Course, gnimbley is right about the practice part.
