AAAAAGH!
After three years without a real art class, my painting abilities have gone down the tube...

I fear that the control of the tablet has softened me. The brush is now almost too much for me to handle *has mental breakdown*

After spending a significant portion of my childhood on this painting, I think I have finally come to appreciate this medium. Da Vinci... I tip my hat to you.


ANYWAYS...

This pic was for art class. In this project, we had to take a part of another artist's work and duplicate it while adding elements of our own imagination to it.

The guy sitting on a stool reading a book was duplicated from the art of "James Christensen". Go look him up! Here is the original painting:

ENJOY!
