You are not using a mouse to draw lines, are you?
Thanks,

Oh heavens no, my hands aren't nearly steady enough for that. What I'm doing is using the pen tool, (a difficult tool to learn but once you get it, it's great!), to trace the general outlines and details, then selecting the proper brush size, and stroking the paths made by the tool. I'm also using a digital pen pad. For the details, I used various brush settings, (most of which I got from various tutorials around the net) and right clicking with the pen tool and selecting the stroke path option. It took me some time to figure all that out, (old dog, new tricks

), and as I said before, it's still a work in progress. Good luck, be patient, hope to see some stuff from you soon. B~M

And, as long as I'm at it, can't do oil paint without doing a nude

Thanks b-man! I knew it could not have been a mouse. I'll look into a pen tool acquisition... whenever I am done with other projects

The Pen tool itself is part of Photoshop, the digital pad you have to acquire. As long as I'm here tho, here's a link to a tutorial on the pop art I posted in Eye Candy's sub forum many moons ago:

OK, got it. I can already imagine, the learning curve using the pad would not be easy.

If you want to do an oil sim that's super easy and takes less than 10 minutes, you can create something like this:

Here's the link to a tutorial I did for this effect. It just requires you to apply some filters, the texturizer, and, dry brush filters mostly.

Here's another one of Arianna I did this afternoon with her in the red teddy that everyone, (including myself), thinks she looks sooooo good in

Great rack. And I love the manicure.

I know all about the international shipping issues and the odd route i watch the package take before it gets to you. It seems she wanted to tease your a little before making her grand appearance. Nice choice on the lingerie too.

Just happens I made another composite along those lines, (lazy Sunday Morning after all).

She's got you covered!

Please never put her in a red shirt, we all know what happens to them.

What happens when you put a group of storm troopers up against a group of stay trek red shirts? The storm troopers all miss but the red shirts die anyway.

Now, for something a little different. I attempted a pencil sketch sim of Ari. Pretty easy technique, and there are a lot of different ways to go about it. I plan to explore further. For now tho, here's what I've come up with so far:
