      Hey, Kapeefers!  I thought I would share some of my artwork with you.  I have been following the Character Art Exchange topic for a while, but I don’t think I can commit to anything right now with life so crazy.  I hope to sometime though, when I can.

      This is a quick oil painting I did of a lady, who is not any of my characters in particular.  Maybe she looks like one of your characters?  (Sorry the lighting and image quality is so poor.)

      I thought you guys might like this one. Its done in black colored pencil.

      Here’s another unicorn, also in black colored pencil (which I normally prefer above charcoal pencil because it smears a lot less.)

      Okay, so this is an out-of-proportion drawing of me in the Kingdom of Pen.  My hair is actually about half this long, but I’m growing it out. 🙂

      And another one of me in a different outfit, which isn’t as great.  I think I may have overdone the tassels.  I think there is 42 tassels there.  🙂

      Well, that’s it for now.  🙂

          @ariel-ashira Wow.  I love the picture of the dragon and the unicorn.  It’s beautiful!

          (I don’t think there are too many tassels. 😀 )

            Thank you, @rochellaine !  Glad you like it.  I get carried away with tassels and such because I like that kind of thing.  🙂

              @ariel-ashira…I love the dragon and unicorn. the the unicorn seems to know something no one else does, and the dragon looks like a lost baby that needs protecting. that what I got from the eyes

                  @alia. You are so perceptive.  My Mom thought the dragon looked evil, but I thought it looked scared.  🙂  <span style=”line-height: 1.5;”>I like doing the eyes on animals and people because they can hold lots of emotion.  And I hadn’t wanted the dragon to look evil. </span>

                    Goodness!  Where did that stuff come from?  Sorry, Alia!

                        @ariel-ashira, I’m fascinated with eyes. They usually tell a deeper story about a person than what people are willing to share.

                          @alia Yes!  And I love describing my characters eyes, because it can explain a lot.

                            @ariel-ashira, exactly. too many times I see articles saying to not describe eyes because readers don’t care, but half of who they are might be told on a single glance.

                              @alia Seriously, they say not to describe eyes?!!  Thats awful.  What better thing could you describe!?

                                @ariel-ashira, thats what I think too, but I can’t find any articles that agree. so when writing eyes I am usually left to my own devices

                                  @alia I doubt Daniel Schwabaur would agree with such a thing.  I bet he would say to describe the eyes.  He is the best writing teacher ever!  We use his writing curriculum, which has DVD lessons and a workbook, as well as a journal.  It would suprise me if he said that, though.  Ever heard of him?
