Oh well, Valerie, I'm no pro!
I'm somewhere in the middle, average.

Tried out a version of a Lisa Joy Young design. I really like it! Smile

Sorry about the bad photo, I was tired and lazy and it was taken on my phone.

Tazmarie, Welcome! looking forward to having you here! Come paint with us as soon as possible!

Belle, we can be the 'peacock girls!' I think they are my favorite too...I'm hoping to develop some more peacock designs. So join me pleeease! Anyone else interested?

Lizzie, I am so honored to have a pro's compliment! Thank you for popping in to take a look! Hope you are having a Good day today.

This peacock mask is from awhile ago, but wanted to share

This was today

Great job! I've always enjoyed Lisa's tutorials.

This is my arm version of Lisa Joy Young's design.

Yeah, Lizzie...and modest too!!

Kammy, love that butterfly. That's one I might be able to do 'evenly' since there aren't two sides. clown

Belle, nice peacocks! Especially love the way the feathers are arranged on the 2nd one! You inspire me on my peacock quest! And your butterfly is really nice too!

Tina, Cute dragon with nice scales. Amazing that you could get that mask done in 60 seconds! Also really like the mask on your little girl...and the extra splashes and swirls she insisted on. I think you have a budding fp'g assistant! Next thing you two will be doing youtube tutorials like Denise and Emma! Very Happy

Also noticed on other threads that you have such creative ideas! Liked how you improved on the bamboo brush holder (and posted a picture!) I think I will have to make myself one. Thank you!

Daphne, Great shading on your wolf face! And your mouth and teeth are so perfectly painted it actually looks like your real mouth in that picture!

Breast cancer support wuppies. The top one has a bald head due to chemo treatment and was sad about it, until all her friends came together to hold her up. They tied a pink string between each of them, so that she'll always know where to find them when she needs them.

Well, of course you have! But not everyone here is on my FB, so there! Laughing

Did you see the pink girly dragon L!zzie put on my FB wall? SO cute!

Love your breast cancer support wuppies!
It's so true... I feel lifted by all those loving, caring people!

by Valerie A Tue Oct 16, 2012 4:03 pm

well I've never seen it Very Happy

it is lovely! And I know you had Lizzie in mind; that is so sweet I love you

by Kammy Tue Oct 16, 2012 4:33 pm

So glad you like my little pink fluffy wuppies. I love them, and I was sad to wash them off - they looked so happy on my leg! Laughing

Matt finally let me paint him. I'd make a couple of changes to this (like putting the cheekbones higher, and doing a more even base because I couldn't see in the dim light here!), but I'm fairly pleased.

Ahh, he's a grouch.

But he's my grouch.

I love you

Glad you all like the skull. I had LOTS of fun doing it, and I'm finding the TAG "Magpie" one-stroke cake brilliant for eye socket shading!

I normally am perusing the forum from my phone and can't upload pics from there but i'm on the computer now so thought I'd add a couple of my latest designs.

Dartigirl,
Your pearl teal kitty is sweet, that color is beautiful! Smile

Mermaid is cute, cute and your hubby makes a nice cheetah. I like using my old gold tag for cheetah. What gold did you use?

by amylady222 Fri Oct 19, 2012 12:37 pm

these are great ladies---how fun and all of these are totally "sellable"!

nice!

by Valerie A Fri Oct 19, 2012 6:14 pm

Hi avatar twin! Wink

Love all your faces! Your pearl teal kitty is so nice (cute little heart nose!) and I like your rainbow tiger. That mermaid one is very nice, don't think I've seen one like that. Nice cheetah face on husband too. Sweet of him to let you paint him!

by Kammy Fri Oct 19, 2012 6:52 pm

Love everything here! It's so great to see how everyone's coming along with line work, shading and general painting skills. Dartiegirl - I wish Matty would let me paint him as something that isn't macabre! I think he'd make a stunning pink kitty... Wink

See, now I'm jealous! I don't have an avatar twin! I hereby demand (with stamping and tantrumming and the whole kaboodle) that someone join me in the green, bleeding skull department! Laughing

I'll post more soon, I promise. Feeling a bit pained at the moment, so I've not been painting as much, and my one "have to paint every day" promise-keeping design today came out terribly. I've discovered that whilst I love TAG Berry Wine, I'm apparently incapable of doing good linework with it...though that could of course be the pain and fatigue messing it up rather than some intrinsic problem between me and the paint.

I usually do just black or white detailed line work, either with Wolfe or Superstar paints. What would any of you recommend for coloured line work?

Anyway, keep the designs coming! I love seeing everyone's stuff. Smile

Kammy xx

by Valerie A Fri Oct 19, 2012 9:04 pm

So sorry Kammy, that you are having a painful day. That's no fun. Hope you are feeling peppy again soon!
I wonder if Wolfe colours do as good in linework as the black? Have you any to try with?
And no, I just CAN'T be a green bleeding skull affraid

twin, no matter what...it would scare me too much to even look in the mirror! lol!
