Someday will you draw my legs?

[billyskank]

11. Um

if you want me to draw you, simply provide a picture you like. I'm happy to draw your legs, but I'd prefer your head and body to be in the shot too. ;)

[RevolutionaryActs]

14. LMAO!

No, no I was teasing. :P

Then you'd have to stare my picture long periods of time, and I wouldn't want to subject you to such a thing. :rofl:

Actually, it isn't our first look at BarenakedLady - I wouldn't have posted her image if she hadn't done so first. But if this is the first time people have seen how pretty she is, I am very proud for it to be my drawing they see.

[swimboy]

60. Utterly astounding talent, billy.

Truly. How on earth do you get your pencil to yield such exquisite detail in shading and textures?

And I am NOT just sucking up, either, so stop saying that.

:hi:

[billyskank]

61. Thanks swimboy!

Nothing wrong with sucking up. We can all use a bit of crawling sometimes! :rofl:

:hug:

How do I do it? By shading very very carefully for a very long time. That picture took about 15 hours to do.

[EnviroBat]

66. Wow, that's really, really great!

[billyskank]

67. Thank you!

:)

[Phillycat]

68. Oh, I wish you would do me.
