• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Very pretty! Ink and alcohol markers make a vibrant effect. But they can be an unforgiving medium.

Thanks! Yeah, you're right about alcohol markers being tricky. I started using them somewhat recently (about 3 years ago), and I'm still trying to learn to use them better. I'm learning how to use watercolor markers, too (about a year ago), as shown in this painting. What's your favorite medium?

I use digital must of the time. But among traditional, perhaps brush pen or marker.

Two recent pencil drawings of just random people, i do not even know them. They are photographed at a distance either just waking down the street or sometimes working an outside job.

I like gathering images of people to draw this way, instead of walking up to them and asking them to pose for a photo. As i find many change and become aware of their presence and will lose the natural state of whatever they are doing.

Nice scratch broad work, is that a silver board?
Honestly not sure. This was done with a soap stone on black background.. I was eyeing the reference sheet to detail...

Ok it is hard to tell looking on a computer. So this is a soapstone pencil drawing on a black surface (paper?) and not a scratch board.
