great one!!!
Fantastic painting! The colors are perfect!
Nicely done! The background is such a great contrast for the figure, and I really like how you’ve done his hair. Those are some big Scrabble words!
Thanks Cindy. Yes–it’s actually an impossible game! x
Love the game…great illustration.
Thank you. x
I love this!
Thanks! x
I love Scrabble! As for the painting, the background is very original and the rest is all so nicely done, it brings an interesting contrast between the details (you even wrote the words, seriously!) and the abstract…
Nothing like a good, drawn-out game of Scrabble. Thanks for the kind words! I think the secret is to go to the trouble of adding the detail. x
Nothing like it, even if a card game can be pretty cool sometimes too… Anyway, you are definitely right, adding detaisl just at the right place can turn a painting into a masterpiece.
I like this a lot, nice contrast and point of view!
Thank you. Drawing faces from odd perspectives like this is challenging, but worth it. x
