Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder!

 


I watched a tutorial on how to add light and shadows and chose my sweet little Crow that I drew a few weeks ago. He is now living in the spotlight. Almost!

I had just uploaded these and I watched another tutorial and the first words out of her mouth were...

OOPS! I love my black outlines and

I'm impressed! I don't see a problem with your outlines. Not every drawing is meant to look like a realistic painting! :)

You must have seen on the news where a banana taped with duck tape was sold for many thousands of dollars. Your crow is adorable! And the last one is so pretty!!

Artistic licence goes a long way...therefore do in your art what you like and if it pleases you!

I Liked your lady with the sun hat, and the crow is siocute! I had a giggle at the banana 'art'!
