| 1 Jun 2007 | Enoch T. Moore | I enjoyed your gallery. Your figure drawing is well done, as is your colouring, is it coloured pencils? What brand do you use?  Melissa D. Saunders replies: "Yeah I took figure drawing classes in school but I think as with anything practice makes perfect...and I'm a long way from perfect. I used to avoid drawing humans at all but once I created my character Lupa I realized I was going to have to get better at it. As I said in the previous comment, I don't really have a preference for colored pencils...I just keep them all mixed up in a box. " | |
| 1 Jun 2007 | Lyn “LJ“ Jackson | Welcome to the Woods! I love your gallery; everything looks so real! And the colouring is so pretty. What do you use to colour your pictures? Anyway, great job, and keep up the awesome work!  Melissa D. Saunders replies: "Thanks! I'm really excited to be here. I'm all about color with my artwork...sometimes I think that's what makes or breaks a picture. As far as pencils, I think I have 3 or 4 different brands all mixed together in a box. There's some Prang in there and I think some Crayola but not sure about the rest. I don't really have a preference...to me its not what you use its how you use it. " | |
| 2 Jun 2007 | Apple Ament | I rarely leave comments for artists. This I feel you should know before reading on... Your work is very evocative. I find it gently connects me with my wildself. I would love to read your writing. I would like to see you try your hand not only at Elemental Beings, which you render so excellently, but at Deities. I think you'd really be able to pull spirit though to create Sacred Works. May the muses continue to stand by, and the wee folk continue to whisper their secrets in your ear. Blessings, Lady Ament-Drake  Melissa D. Saunders replies: "Wow thank you so much! My art definately comes from somewhere spiritual, so I'm honored that it can reach another person in the same way. I will keep your suggestions in mind. Blessed Be! " | |
| 2 Jun 2007 | Valarie “FaerieLight“ Connell | You have a great gallery! I love your use of color. We have several things in common.  Keep up the great job and stop by my gallery to take a peek at some of the similarities.   Melissa D. Saunders replies: "Thank you and yes I stopped by your gallery and I see definate similarities...not only in artistic style but personality as well. If you couldn't tell already I am pagan too, I like how your art portrays the Goddesses. I think my favorite was the mermaid you did as a commission. I also love the celtic knotwork you put into your pictures. I often do the same with mine...it reminds me of intricately woven vines...fits nicely with the nature theme. Blessed Be! " | |
