How do you do such wonderful graphic work!!! did it take you absolutely ages to learn??? i would love to be as accomplished as you with digital art!!! you arefantastic and awe inspiring please keep up the good work!!!!!

:-) Daniel A. Cortopassi replies: "Thanks! I think I am still learning. I learn something new with every image I make. I'm not sure it ever stops."

Your work is wonderful. Actually it was what started me visiting elfwood regularly - I had to keep coming back to look at the Lilypad picture 2 I look forward to seeing more...

Hey, Daniel, some pretty impressive stuff you have here! I do have to say, though, that your digital pics lack some of the life that your traditional media seems to have. More traditional!!Keep it up!

:-) Daniel A. Cortopassi replies: "Thanks! I agree. I think working in traditonal media is more satisfying and I think it's made me a better artist."

The photoshop stuff is impressive, going to colored pencils I think takes so much more skill. You don't have the help of a computer. Great work

:-) Daniel A. Cortopassi replies: "Thanks! It's taken some effort to make the transition, but I think it's been worth it. I find it much more personally satisfying."

Your art work is so pretty, I really like the pictures of the cats and of coarse all the mermaids

Hey Daniel..you have a strong skill with prismacolors. I have yet to achieve that quality yet with them. Its amazing how they lack a grainyness...do you use smoother board and also incorporate prismamarker's..??

:-) Daniel A. Cortopassi replies: "Thanks! I don't use any special tools, really. It's mostly a matter of technique when using the pencils, going over an area repeatedly until I get a solid color. It's possible to blend colors this way, too, layering several different pencil colors on top of one another. Once in a while I use a paper blending stump, but usually I can get the effect I want just by working the pencils. Varying the amount of pressure on the pencil makes a difference, though too much and the "lead" will break. I have not tried markers."
