That is what is good about this site and the art section for me the varried skills of the people that send work in, at the end of the day ...young, old, good ...makes no differance....it is yours and your soul into it.
All the best Firefox.
Martin

| | | Re: art by martin ridely Firefox,
I haven't slept much over the past three weeks, which is producing some interesting visual side-effects  But I really like the feel of your drawing and also the stance of the fox
Like Lori, I also traced the original, and I'll bet that few people could do such a good job of a freehand drawing from that print.
Whether you did it for fun or not, I think you should keep on drawing  I'd like to see more of your work here.
Cheers,
Andestine |

Cheers,
Andestine | He has managed to captured the real essence of fox somehow, that stance hasn't he? I would also like to see some more...

thanks agin for all the nice comments!    | I have also just looked at the original and yours is a good likeness maybe if you did it in watercolour it would be hard to distinguish between them. |  | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
