    I use to paint. I stick to drawing these days with tiny ones under my feet.

    Its a bit rough but copy paper and and a #2 pencil are not exactly art supplies :smile: Oh and I am also a bit of a geek. This is my D&D character.

  • I used to watercolor all the time, but I haven't taken the time in years. My brushes are now junk! But I've kept up with sketching. I design a lot of times at work, whether rearranging furniture or making a flier/advertisement for the showroom. I love art!

    I haven't made jewelry in a while and haven't painted in even a longer time. My piano was crushed in a move in 2001 and I've yet to replace it...

    However, my friend's birthday is ...eek next weekend (oh crap) I was thinking of making her a necklace and earrings.

    AND.....my husband's bright idea for Mother's day presents is to paint the moms a painting ...ugh! He's awesome at it but he's constantly painting (he's retired) whereas I haven't painted in long time....he's going to have to assist me some.

    Triciab, that is awesome! I love to sketch. Mostly I sketch unicorns, dragon, gnomes pretty much all fantasy cutesy girly stuff.
    Lisa, watercolor is awesome! I kinda feel like a druid from WoW when it comes to art...I play around with all sorts but I am going to start to refine my skills in painting with acrylics for now.

    Wow, Hypersonic, you better get on that lol. It's fun when there is a dead line though. That is so cool that you and your husband paint!

    Art is a passion of mine. Hard to tend to it with 3 little ones currently. It's been months since I painted, but none the less I have so much love for art! I prefer to draw/paint nude women, otherwise I would post here ;). Maybe I'll post something later and put some black bars on my stuff :P. Anywho, feel free to add me.

    That's interesting. I bet they link adds with conversations. I did notice that on days that I said anything about the 30ds a bunch of Jillian Michaels adds popped up. Neato. Makes me giggle when they have a bunch of fast food adds up, guess that's just cuz most of use talk about food lol.

    I'm an artist. I have a degree in art ed and I used to teach high school art. Here's my website, I do mostly portraits for money but if you click on personal art you can see my stuff.

    I used to do ceramics in college (it was my minor) but it's so expensive that I don't do it anymore.

    I've drawn a lot of portraits, my portfolio is probably mostly portraits. I am also highly inspired by Tim Burton, so I have a lot of drawings and paintings I've done in that type of style.

    I paint... digitally. Of course, to traditional snobs, that "doesn't count." Haha.

    I'm trying to get back into the habit of drawing, but it's going... slowly. I specialize in androgynous men (obviously, from the above). I just like to draw pretty things. There's enough ugliness in the world; I try my best not to add to it. XD

    Yeah, but thinking of deactivating it. Never use it anymore.

    Can I post portraits that include breasts/butts in here?? I want to share too! I love the digital portraits up there! Those ducks are adorable as well! I hope this thread keeps growing, very cool!!

    Edit: added pics but some were too large, so I removed them and I'll come back with resized ones later if you guys don't mind a lil artistic nudity.
  • Oh my gosh, spongekitty... Those duckies are ADORABLE!!!!!! <333333
