sacred chao?

[Irreverend Hugh, KSC]

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.

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.

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.
