| 16 Mar 2002 |  Anonymous |  Loading...Looks like your techique is improving, bit by bit. One question though- do you always base your figure drawings on magazine photos? What else do you use for inspiration? ^_~  Melinda May Dake a.k.a. Sweet Pea replies: "I'm trying so hard to draw a picture off of someone sitting for me or like my little sister did, the one of my nephew sleeping. I'm trying to draw my daughter sleeping but I've got so used to everything being int he same spot that when the littlest thing moves it throws me way off. It sucks but I am trying to draw something other then from a picture." | |

Other than that I am very impressed. b/t/w you are a very beautiful denizen. *with a deep, light laugh the stranger wanders away whistling softly  Melinda May Dake a.k.a. Sweet Pea replies: "Thank you very much for the comments and the helpful hints. I'll put them into play for my next drawing though right now I'm finding myself doing more with photography then drawing since time is none since I'm going to school full time and taking care of a three year old daughter. But when my next drawing I do make I will put into use what you have said. Thanks " | |

Sweet Pea replies: "Thanks for the comment I wasn't sure if it was going to turn out with the drawings in with the photograph picture but I like it. She, meaning my daughter, keeps looking at the picture and saying "Horsey mommy, horsey. Ravyn is horsey." Or something about "Beautiful Faeries on me as horsey." Obviously she doesn't speak well yet. I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures hope you come back soon. " | |

Sweet Pea replies: "Thank you for the comment, sorry it took so long to get back to you I haven't had a computer since mine blew up. I'll have to go take a look at your work now.... : coots over to look::" | |
| 24 Nov 2004 | Sweetnpetite | Loading... Very nice work. Could you incorporate more surreal images into your work, though? You're very talented, IMO, and your creativity shouldn't be limited. By the way, my name is Melinda too! We are a talented lot, aren't we? Just kidding...*smile* Only I'm 21 & my drawing ability isn't quite as good as yours. Like you, I have a little girl. She's two and her name is Kathleen Ann. Melinda May Dake a.k.a. Sweet Pea replies: "What do you mean by more surreal images? Sorry it took so long to get back to you. My computer went away for a LONG time. And I must say having the name Melinda does do something with the creativity side. Odd. Thanks for commenting." | |

You can draw so detailed, turn a sketch in to life and each piece of artwork is beautiful, applause!!! I wish i can draw, keep up the good work! Melinda May Dake a.k.a. Sweet Pea replies: "Thank you for your kind words I suppose some day I'll have to put up some of my newer drawings. Though with starting up my own photography business and taking care of a five year old it's kind of hard to do that. Glad you liked the drawings and hope you visit and comment again sometime. I do so love comments " | |
