I love the detail and perspective. This is one of my ultimate goals in drawing

Thank you! Unfortunately, perspective and "quick" detailing is still a struggle for me at times :]

If I could do it half as quick and good as you I would be happy. Whenever I try to draw something original, especially from my head, my hand and head seem to have some unseen argument. lol. I never end up with what I want!

Sorry about the late reply but yeah I completely know what you mean. The "image" of a final drawing that I have in my head is always 1000% better than what I actually do. But I guess that's how we improve as artists and get better with that neverending strive to get that "perfect image" on paper :]

you still get it houndredtimes quicker than me. If I had done something like that, the result wouldnt have been that good. And i would have had to use the pattern, I just canΒ΄t draw such things from my mind...

No, you're the one with talent dude. I'm getting ready to hit you up for some tips any day now. We should get together on skype to share some skills.

I don't have a webcam so I don't use Skype and my mic has issues with my migration to Windows 7, but I'm often online with various Instant Messagers if you use any of those (Xfire, MSN, AIM, ICQ, Gmail, etc.).

Another great piece - if you darkened it up a bit and polished it some more, it'd be truly amazing.

Yeah, unfortunately I have an aging old scanner and I got lazy when it came to adjusting all the levels in Photoshop. One day I might finish and rescan it with a better scanner :]
