Me, I mainly work with pen and paper. Sometimes I use paint, color pencils and clay. I like to draw whimsical cartoons. I like to make up things. I would really like work on using color, especially when painting. I don't draw as often as I used. Mainly out of frustration because its either not exactly how I want it or I just don't know how to complete it. Looking at other art work gives me inspiration. Also music and thing that smell good lol. My favorite artist is Vladimir Kush. I was working on drawing a younger version of the princess and frog, but stopped for a while.

hey=]

i love working on canvases and using acrylic paints. when I don't have enough stock of those resources, I love using a paper and pencil. some drawings in pencil just look so good=]

i don't create things too often because I get caught up in uni and I get kinda busy, so id say maybe twice a month? my inspiration is everything around me, how I feel and what I love=] and I don't have a favorite artist as of yet because I don't confine myself to one style.

i was working on a white tiger painting which is now finished=] I put it on my profile not long ago but I took it down. if your interested message me:)

us style sounds pretty cool and creative:) you seem like you know your stuff=] keep it up!

I've drawn a little but mostly photography. I'd like to travel way more. I go out a couple times a week. Inspiration comes from being out there. Fav artist marc adamus. I got way to many un published photos, hundreds. Here's my latest work: link

I liked your page. I love your photos. You have some serious skills. How long have you been photographing? What got you interested? What was your first photograph?

[Opinion Owner]

Thanks. I've played around for about 6 years, only really got serious about it in the last 2 years. first played with a camera when I was 12 making fake UFO pics, lol everyone was convinced to. Then I got a entry level dslr in 2008 and used it up until this year. Here's some of mu first photos till some recent, but 90% of them are from 2-6 years ago: link

These are so awesome. I assume that you're really good with photoshop. At least, that's what I'm getting that you used for a some of your pics. You know, because of the effects.

[Opinion Owner]

Which one look shopped? My nature shots are pretty close to the actual scene, then I enhance them to my taste. Most of the editing is just getting them to look exposed nicely throughout the image, since cameras only capture a certain amount of dynamic range, like when you take a sunset photo and the ground is pure black, I edit it to look more like what our eyes see.

But I don't replace, change or add things that wherent in the original photo, except for like 5 pics. Just enhancement.

[Asker]

Oh I'm sorry, I thought some were. Like the steering wheel, glasses and this one link . See I don't know too much about cameras and their effects.

[Asker]

When I said photoshoped, I didn't as if you added other things to the pics. I just meant like how you edited, or if you added a filter, or if you changed the opacity.

[Opinion Owner]

Oh. Yeah no filters, just things like color, contrast, brightness. That flower pic isn't actually lol, it's taken on a windy day with a longer exposure

[Opinion Owner]

And the glasses. Each photo is just slightingly different lighting using speakers in the background as eyes. Lighting with an LED flashlight and a desk lamp. Basic color and contrast increase, almost no editing.

The steering wheel was done at night, with the flashlight on my phone to light it up haha. Then adjusted the contrast to make. Color is natural.

[Asker]

The way you just explained it, it sounds simpler than it looks. I don't quite understand what you mean with the flower. I do a little, but not exactly. What do you mean by longer exposure?

[Opinion Owner]

Long exposure means the camera shutter is open for a while, like a few seconds, recording light the entire time. SO for example if you wave your arm really fast, it looks like a blurry streak to you. A long exposure records that, but a fast exposure records it as your arm actually is without any movement.

i used to draw but I haven't really drawn lately

[Asker]

What do you like draw and why haven't you drawn anything lately? Lost the passion for it? Don't have time?
