OK, since so many others picked more than 1 favorite, I am going to pick one more of mine in animals. I really liked this pic when I did it, but it didn't garnder much attention. I think maybe some people didn't know the original painting that I was trying so hard to plagiarize (10 pts). Or maybe it just sucks way more than I thought it did! LOL

I like this thread, because it allows you to show your personal satisfaction with a piece instead of relying on comments or votes to determine it's worth! Here are my pics:

Flowers: http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=42700

Fruit: http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=43147

Avatars: http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=46807

Faces: http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=42702

Gothic: http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=46826

Candy: http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=43512

Animals: http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=47320

what's funny to me is a couple of my personal favs were from a theme I gave myself, draw something from one of the categories using a different one, for example, I drew a cow in avatars (instead of using the cow pieces in animals) and I drew a face in candy, etc...if you go look at my gallery you can see the ones I tried to switch up...it was a personal challenge and it resulted in some of my favorite work! I have had a lot of fun seeing some of your old favs too! You all are incredible artists!

This one seems to have gotten overlooked OR I just think more of it than y'all LOL. It only got 3 votes, and this is the one I almost expected to get the most.

***FLOWERS***

Swirl 01 was a LOAD of work and only got 5 votes.

I started and saved, then completely forgot about it for a while, and finished once I found the forgotten draft LOL

***FRUIT***
Starry night at the shore:
http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=35009

"Victim of a star coiffeur" is one that got very few votes, but *I* still really like it
http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=31425

***AVATARS***
Collecting sea shells has the most votes
http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=46004

But I still like my two caterpillar ones. The new medium had JUST been released and these were among the first pictures out. The one with the brown leaf looks like it shows movement and the "study" shows the "feet", which I thought would get a FEW votes more than 3 LOL. Again, others may not have liked them so much, but I still do.

The scenographer said that the best design would be an empty space, that it didn't matter how many drawings he had to sketch or furniture he had to buy, nor whatever time or effort it took him... he had THE BEST IDEA for the theater play. What counts is THE IDEA.
Here it would be the same... it doesn't matter if we spend hours or if it is
extremely difficult... what matters is the effect it has... it doesn't belong
to the author anymore. It belongs to the observer and how it moves him.
THE SCENOGRAPHER GOT HIS FEES and probably because the production's
lawyers advised them to do so.

Luna - Thanks for taking the time and picking your favs from my gallery. Good choices.

Those bemoaning (10 points!) the lack of votes, need to recall that some TDers decided not to vote as they felt it was better to receive no vote than a one vote.
Great story polenta!

Polenta - you make wonderful points (as always!).

In her autobiography Marlene Dietrich said the best lesson she ever got was one time when she did a dramatic reading for a producer. He didn't like it. She exclaimed, "But those tears were real --I was feeling it!" He told her, "Fine, but you didn't make ME feel it!"

Hey, I just realized I left out a candy favorite. OK, If I'd have picked one when I originally started this thread, it would have been this one cuz I thought it was hilarious! http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=44495

But now that I've made this next one, it wins out: http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=48257
