I'd give anything to be able to do that. . . .

Great work

I might make this a weekly or monthly thing, almost done with this one. Just started yesterday. Any tips or suggestions will be greatly appreciated  . And if you have a suggestion for me to draw, that'd be awesome too. This way, I can make changes as I go along if you guys spot a mistake that I don't see.

I'll give you 100 bucks to paint me boxing a grizzly bear while a bald eagle drapes an American flag across my back.

Edit: AND, I'm being serious

Don't listen to the manure spreaders here.  You have talent and I would recommend drawing more and more as quickly as you can.  Try drawing this in 10 minutes.  Do it 20 times.  Then try it in five minutes as you progress in "quick sketching" it leads to more ideas and progressively more informed sketch techniques. I paid a lot of money to learn this.  It works.

100$ .......to paint something like that with real paint..... not digital...adding at least a zero wouldn't insult the artist

I doubt I can paint, not without taking a month to do it. 
I will gladly sketch if you got a photo, no charge.

Yea, that whole part I did was about 60-70 minutes, I'll take that challenge.

Thanks for all the criticism guys, should be done with this by the end of the week if time allows.

Here is a great tool for practice. http://ipaintgirls.com/Pose_Master_v1_1.zip YouTube video about it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rPJD_4xKIM

It comes with a few folders with 3d pictures of "people" in different poses. Once you get it set up you can set the timer for 30, 60, or 90 seconds. The program will grab a picture and post it for the allotted time, then switch to the next one.

It helps you to draw what you see instead of what is there. You don't have time to "think" about the pose, or how to do it, you just draw it. At first they don't look too good, but as you get better you will draw faster and faster and it will become more natural.

Keep at it. I wish I had when I was young. It's hard to find the time to draw these days, but I work at it. Being young, you have a lot more time to work at it. DO IT!

Here's a 'painting' that I made with spraycans and two self made stencils... Sorry for the bad image, took it with my iPhone.

Spray paints are quite fun to play with but you need a very well ventilated space and take note that paint mist covers many meters area very soon.

Awesome,  . I never used spray paint before and my hand control isn't that great. I would never be able to keep the can steady to do anything like that.

Actually you don't need a steady hand at all. You just need to apply stencils smartly. Of course making the stencils can be a chore but with a sharp hobby knife and some patience you're good.

Btw when I said copymachine != art I meant that you should not try to copy stroke for stroke something existing. Use a picture for inspiration and create your own vision based on it. The image above is actually a reproduction of another artists picture - when I saw it I immediately had my own vision of it and painted it.

very self defeating attitude there

with practice you could do that and more

it took many hours of practice for me to be able to do what I can do.

 if I had that attitude I would never have gotten where I am now.....when I was younger and saw great art instead of saying "I could never do that" I said "I WILL do that"

now I can draw or paint anything.... any style.... any medium.....

on a tablet

also a tablet

acrylic paint

if you practice and have the desire/will you can accomplish whatever you want

It's not self defeating if I can't physically do it due to having a hand disorder.
