I actually got off my lazy behind and drew a pic of the Janitor. i'm going to paint it (w/oil paints). the pose is of him is in Shrink where he is talking to Josie. I took Josie out of it, though...don't ask. I'm thinking about sending it to Tony for his 39th birthday. ;D i'll have to ask his agent first. he'll either love it or think i'm crazy. i'm going to scan it in a few days.....when the paint is thoroughly (can't spell that word..how pathetic..is it spelled right?) dry, or else i'll get paint on it. i showed my niece and she said, "i didn't know you could paint. oh wow you have talent".. HAHAHH!! suuuure. not really. it looks strange. but i'm sure when i'm done with it, it'll look better. hair and skin tone are going to be hard. since i only have 6 basic colours to mix from. darn it.

GRR I HATE OIL PAINTS!!! I just ruined the stupid thing. I knew I should have left it as a drawing instead of painting the d*** thing. i'm going to have to start over and COLOR IT WITH STUPID CRAYONS! the ONLY thing that'll work. stupid paint was too thick and i could mix the colors right. i'm having a bad day. i almost spilled my water on my keyboard. and i got paint on my fave shirt.

Awwww That's such a shame. i hope you havne't thrown it away yet though as it may be salvegable. The thing with painting is that you're allowed artistic liscence (ie. you can screw up the skintone and it's okay, just say it's stylized ). I've never used oils befor either but I think you can thin them down with certain types of oil or terps or something.

Aw, that's too bad Lauren. I can't wait to see the pic though! I'm sure Tony will appreciate it!

I ripped it up. it was unsavable. stupid picture. stupid paints.
anyway, i'll make a new one later.
i don't usually use that kind of paint. i usually buy that Crayola paint set you get at the grocery store. (not the one where you add water)

Sorry if I'm sounding dim here

markers don't do justice for me, either. crayons will do. I got a whole big box of them.
