if that's one of your rabbits altenweb, they're adorable.. ! and Cassie's a sweety. Our cats names are Bow and Arrow.

we should rename this thread pets corner

anyone done any art this weekend. My daughter and I went looking at sofas today and couldn't get away from the massage chairs... blisss. I'm seriously thinking of getting one.

Lol Bow and Arrow, nice. What breed?

Na I havn't had the chance to work on anything recently, but I am talkin to this girl who is an artist to, maybe she will pose for some portraits I am really wanting to do another scratchboard.

kept forgetting to forward my drawing to work where i know how to resize it, so here it is - a model from an art class.

Your scratchboard drawing is lovely and really effective ~ and it's the first I've heard of or seen a scratchboard drawing. Bow is a Himalayan Persian and Arrow's a torty. Bow's like a big adorable bear and is a bit ploddish. He's the protector, and Arrow's more agile and fast. She's gorgeous.

It's been ages since I've done any life drawing. My boyfriend did some drawings of his ex that he doesn't want me to see and I really don't want to know about --- so beware of future ramifications from drawing girlfriends

We were encouraged to do some self-portraits and Arrow walked over and left paw prints in the one I did of my bust. I shouldn't have been so hasty in fixing it, since the paw prints gave it something special... lol

Wow that is very nice, charcoal right? It looks great!

I know all about drawings of exs conflicting with current gfs lol. I had drawn a few of my ex before my most recent ex lol. Don't have those anymore lol. I could understand if they were nude drawings etc, but other then that to me art is art. (but then not everyone shares that opinion lol) and I could understand my next gf not liking my last one as much lol.

My ferret did more or less the same to some of my drawings unfortunatly there was not fixing them lol. Oh well.
Your dogs sound great (bow sounds like my dads Golden Retriever) just the big lovable teddy bear lol. My Cassie is a Papillon if i didnt mention it before. The 'butterfly' dog. She is great lol and turns 12 weeks on the 25th, at which time im enrolling her in obedience and agility training.

wow awesome artwork
cant wait to see more

Bow and Arrow are cats... LOL! You owned a ferret? That must have been a lot of fun. I've only known of one other person owning a ferret... they're sleek and look cheeky.

and yes, art is art, and women are women... and when the two are mixed, it makes for some interesting exchanges. Although I tend to prefer drawing portraits, I did enjoyed drawing nudes. The woman in the portrait done in charcoal posed nude, and I have some other drawings of her but they're too large to be scanned. I just tend to concentrate more on portraits (I MUST fix her eyes so they're both looking in the same direction!)

My art teacher's wife told us how on her first date with her husband he brought out a stack of nude drawings from under his bed to show her of women he'd drawn. What a first date to have had ..

Here is a link to my art teacher's drawings that are pretty awesome, I think:

Papillon dogs are really really cute ~!

thanks cal823 --- is that your work on your avatar? Have you done sculpture installations? I've never tried to do sculpture (except for a couple of huge interlinking out-of-shape donuts made of white plaster in high school that took forever to make, and god only knows what happened to them), but would love to have a go at it some day.

cal823

yer that avi is one i did with pastels
I havn't really done much sculpture, but I did do one out of polystyrene foam which my art teacher was very pleased with, but not really done any installations.
I would advise you go for it, sculpture is pretty fun and always worth doing

frangipanis

that's interesting... looks fun and interesting. Are all your drawings like that? It looks like sculpture...
