Well, seeing Whitney's and Maddie's drawings sort of made me want to show off what I've been doing drawing-wise--not that mine are anywhere near that good, polished, or anything, but meh. This was based off a photograph of Leighton Meester who plays Blair on Gossip Girl. I don't actually watch the show but I found the photograph while looking for something else and loved the pose and the expression, so I had to draw it. One of my rare attempts at a body and clothes. Notice the stiff uncomfortable positioning of the arms, typical with my drawings. I've got a thing for doing closed eyes right now. I mean I can draw them open, but I'm actually having more fun with closed. *dies of embarrassment* This pose I found on a Twilight wallpaper, and even though I'm not that big a fan of Twilight as a book, I love the visual style from the movie. It again just called to me and said "draw me". It shows off, I think, most of my flaws as an artist: Nudity, stiff positioning, bad hands, the lines are shaggy beyond belief and his face... Meh. And this is my latest drawing, two days ago actually Just random elves, I like his profile, hate his hair, and she's pretty but sort of bland. All of these were drawn in CS2 with a mouse, so long smooth lines are something I can only dream of... Hopefully that tablet will be here on my birthday. ~Steph

You're so good with faces. They're all lovely. I also don't think the positioning in the 'Twilight' poster based picture is stiff at all. Looks quite natural to me. I'm sure you could do wonderful things with a tablet. I'll keep my that you'll get one. Edit: And by the way, I really love your signature. So pretty.

Yep, with a mouse. I've got a lot of practice mousing stuff.
Thanks, Whitney, Kirsten, & Maddie! ~Steph

A mouse! That is brilliant Steph! That certainly must take some kind of hectic control to move to get such beautiful lines! Felicity

I personally think that given the limitations of drawing with a mouse, that you've done amazingly.
I'm really looking forward to you and your tablet - you're going to be awesome!

Thanks, Felicity, Moon, and Kiri! I really want a tablet, drawing with a mouse is something that I can do, but occasionally it frustrates me, especially as soooooooooooo much of CS2 is designed around pressure sensitivity, something that you just can't get with a mouse. >_<' But I will get it eventually. ETA: Oh, yeah, thanks, also, Moon & Whitney about the sig, I really love it too. Even when I switched over my av I had to leave the sig. ~Steph Edited: to add the bit about the sig.

I couldn't draw that with pencil and paper much less with a mouse. I did try drawing some cartoon animals once but gave up quickly because they were really bad.
