Description

A slight diversion, again, from the norm (is there a Norm here?). Whilst watching some late night TV on Cartoon Network (.....what?!?! The dog likes watching cartoons, okay??), I saw a commercial that never ceases to get my goat. The Art Institute of America (or whatever they call themselves) with their "Become a better artist by taking our mail in test!" BAH!!! You're either a good artist and can only have your skills refined or you aren't. So, I grabbed my notebook just to see if I still had it in me to be 'artistically' creative after my foray into the world of 3D art that I have delighted in loosing myself in. I was pleasantly surprised with my results. This was done on a standard sheet of notebook paper, imported into PSE7 to remove most of the lines, then sent to PhotoImpression 3 to be smudged into looking like a relatively decent looking piece of artwork with that pen and ink or washed brush look to it. The "Medicine Hat" is a pinto pattern, and considered in some Native American traditions to be a sacred animals. Bearing colour of any 'typical' pinto, their name comes from the colour splotches on their heads, looking much like hats, and a shield like marking on their chest. The rest of the body could be marked in a number of ways, but these markings alone made the Medicine Hat or Medicine Shield horses as unique even among their own. All in all the drawing itself took about 15-20 mintues with all the tinkering I did then another about 30 minutes of postwork and touch ups. Don't worry, I'll get back to rendering soon enough. I thank you for your indulgence and I certainly appreciate any feedback.

Adendum: Incidentally - this was done with just a black ball point pen on lined paper. Which is why I am so pleased with the results.

Stacey, I would say point taken and case closed! You have proven that you are indeed an artist of note, and you did it with the most meager of tools. Your ancestors were the ones who took burned charcoal stikes and drew ibex's on cave walls! Fave for proving a point let alone the work.

For those who fell asleep and missed the first announcement, I repeat again. "Just because you read it, see it on tv, hear it on the street or find it talk about on the news, doesn't in and of itself make it true. A fool and their money are soon parted, and fools believe what others say or think without and need of facts to back it up. And accepting half truths and misrepresentation of facts, proves only that you are gullible as they think you are. U B N ARTIST and your diploma is in the mail (please send check made out to bearer for the sum of $1000.00). Thank you! Great art work and good illustration of point!
