Any artists?

I really want to see other people's artwork since I know I'm not the only one here who paints/draws/doodles/whatever.

I could only find one piece on my computer. When I'm done setting up my brand-new, first-ever reef tank (WOO! ) I'll find some more and add to the thread.


This is a computer-inked self-portrait. It's technically me at senior prom, but also how I see myself in my mind every day.


Okay, I got it started, now it's your turn!

Nice work of art!

Is this thread for computer-generated art or hand-made art?

I have a couple of drawings (I suck at painting, I only have 1 somewhat decent painting) I made, but I don't think they're that good. We're only given so much time to work in art class.

I do drawing and painting (by hand) almost exclusively. I just posted this one because it was the only art I've got on my computer at the moment. Now post, you two!

Wow, very nice. Very different approach than mine.

Really nice work! I love looking at other people's art.

Yet another artist here....another very different approach as well. I use pencil scketch and then add color via colored pencils and sometimes chalk. This one is my own selff portrait as well, a gift for my husband for our anniversary. Now its a constant reminder to help me lose the last of that third baby weight...lol.

The other picture is of the brick wall I painted on my furnace. It was a bright blue sheet of metal that did not match my kitchen decor, I am going for a more italian theme and so I decded to paint it like a brick oven, it fits and I love it.

My artwork is huge, portrait size or larger, I can't even scan it. Maybe I'll scan some of my smaller stuff when I go home this weekend. I did the watership down characters and a few other drawings.
