Those are amazing, especially the top three blends. I love the color contrasts, how you go wild with the colors without holding back.

On the drawings, is there a particular artist or style you get inspiration from?

That portrait was amazing. I love the way you shaded the hair! What kind of pencil were you using?

Thank you! I used a woodless graphite pencil. I find them very easy to work with, and they pick up really really nicely with a kneaded eraser.

Woodless graphite pencil? Do you have a whole set of them or did you use one grade?

Truly amazing, my jealousy are endless!

I love how the light reflects off her eyes. Eyes are difficult to draw, and you captured hers beautifully

Thank you Elessar! As always, feedback, criticism, and ego-stroking are appreciated.

I was going to move to a new thread, and I did for a while, but I missed the 20 page glory. So I'm back. I can be so indecisive sometimes.































Some of you may have noticed, especially in the last couple blends, that I use Courier New a lot. I don''t have many fonts (I got a new computer and haven't downloaded any fonts since) so I was hoping some of you could help me with that. If you could list a number of fonts that you use often or recommend, even if you list just one or two, that'd be a great help. I just have no way of remembering the fonts I liked before, and browsing just takes too much time. And I'm lazy.

Everything is amazing, keyodie, very colorful and well done! You are really inspiring!
A few fonts I often use are:
-Felix Titling.
-Celine Dion Handwriting.
-Dirty Classic.
-JaneAusten.
-Jellika- Nathaniel, a Mistery.
-Jellika- St. Andrews Queen.
-Mutlu.
-Scriptina.
-The King & Queen Font.
-Violation.

I think you can easily find them all on DAfont. I hope this helped!

I don't think I should comment because I'm biased for you anyway. All your stuff is unique and experimental, which is what art should be. I'm encouraged to look for hidden meanings. I would if it weren't 12:30 am.

Anyhoo, my favorite is the "forever" one. The colors complement each other nicely, and I see new layers every time I look at it. It's reminiscent of modern art.

I take that back. My favorite is your last one. I've never seen anything like it before, and I don't even know what it's about.

Have you heard of http://highfonts.com/ ? I just set it on random generator.

I really love the moon one. I think that has to be one of my favorites.

As for fonts I think my favorites now are:
Bebas
LLCooper
Helvetica (bold)
Will & Grace / Times (capitalized and small)
They're clean and nice and not overwhelming.
Rev mentioned a few of my favorite "fancy" fonts, but "killigraphy" is a good one too.
