I spend on average about an hour on my pictures and probably an hour looking/studying the methods of others using the playback button. That is what attracted me to this site in the beginning. I love to see where people start. Amazing, the talent! I still don't feel that I have found my niche. Mostly experimenting. I do delete pictures; usually very soon after posted. I let out a big YUK and delete. My picture, REALLY, really bugs me but have rejected the notion to delete it so far. My favorite picture of mine is PREOCCUPIED because of its simplicity. I love making and receiving comments. Votes too. : ) |

Yes, I got a dose of reality early on and lost a picture to save draft, after spending maybe an hour or so on it. I don't recall what it was, but I do remember I was pleased with it, and very shocked that it was gone. And though the save draft option seems to be working much better recently - it used to be that if I left TD and came back my draft was gone - now I can shut my computer down and come back and it's still there, I am still wary of getting too involved in a drawing and if I like it at all, I get anxious to submit it before it gets lost, which I think probably keeps me from putting as much effort in as I would really like to. It is a shame we can't have our own private gallery to work on as we please and until we are sure we are ready to submit. I do not have the nerve now to keep anything for very long. |

What an interesting thread! It's fascinating reading how everybody else creates their pictures! Q, I love your post-it note idea! I've got about two years worth of pictures and ideas stored away, and more are added every day! Inked gemini, I roll back in my chair too, although not as often as I should!! And polenta, I find it absolutely amazing that you do your beautiful pictures from your imagination and so quickly!! Wow! |

I don't only use my imagination mom. I can see a commercial or a photo or something and it's the basis for a pic. I don't copy well but it gives me an idea. Maybe I need an idea and then I use my imagination. It's like I adapt it so much that it's almost irrecognizable. I don't draw well, I don't copy well... but in my opinion I have a feeling for color and balance and I can use my imagination if something gives me an idea. |
