Music to draw by?

I'm just curious...what music do you listen to while you draw or paint? Right now I'm listening through my Enya collection. Perfect for drawing butterflies. :oD -Derek

Rendering faded denim using NuPastels

So...anyone have any tips for rendering faded denim using NuPastels? I'm using a paper that has some good tooth to it...so I'm guessing the trick will be to let the paper texture help define the twill texture of the fabric. HELP! -Derek

Grid lines help!

So here's my dilemma: I pressed too hard with the pencil while drawing the grid on my paper. Any tips for coloring over the dents left in the paper after erasing? Nothing I do seems to hide them. Thanks for any help. -Derek

You are welcome. I hope to get some of my artwork on here soon, but I only have one Prismacolor product so I am kind of limited.

Your work is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome and also you got some really amazing work

It was 4 a class project, my school's art classes all entered doodles for the contest last spring. Hey and ur welcome I luv how real ur art looks!:)

Thanks for the reply. I remember using something in art class way back when to block off areas on canvas, but I don't know if it would work on paper. It was similar to glue and for the life of me I can't remember what it's called! Oh well. Ive used the tape and paper method before too, but it was on a dolphin and it wasn't easy to tape the rounded parts of it. Can't wait to see more of your work :) -Donna

Your detail is insane dood, sorry haven't been here in awhile, I've been writing poetry for each one of my drawings. I'll be back to posting my new art soon!

Hey, Derek! Sorry about the delay (tech problems). Anyhow, you are correct about Tempus Fugit. It was the second painting of a three part piece I did for an artshow back at the end of 1999. It was supposed to represent a countdown to a new century.

I am having withdrawals from your artwork! Hope all is well Derek!

Are you kidding me?... why wouldn't I be a fan? Have you seen the artwork in your portfolio?! Amazing...really like the blue butterfly on yellow shirt. I'm a Huge fan of people who are able to make the most of God given talent. You are counted among those folks in my humble opinion. Have an awesome weekend. 106ish in the Midwest!!! Dave
