| 28 Mar 2004 |  Anika Stumpf |  Loading...Oh, I just love her cute smile :] And the eyes! They give her a certain feline air, and that fits well with the faery appearance. Did you scan this one in two parts? It looks as if the upper part is slightly darker than the rest of the picture. I wish my scanner would allow me to do that, too, so I could draw larger pictures, but he has such a stupid design that every sheet of paper would crumple would it be bigger than the scanner bed ...  Sherman Skip Nodler replies: "You must be commenting as I answer. Yes I scanned it in two parts and joined it in photoshop. I got rid of much of the joining line but I'm not all that good with photoshop. I use 100# paper so it's fairly stiff. The problem comes from where the paper goes over the edge of the scanner it raises off of the glass and that causes the scan to be darker on that side. It would be nice to have a scanner and printer that would do 11"x14" paper. I think that comes out to 27.5cm x35cm. Take care my friend, Skip" | |
| 31 Mar 2004 |  Jennie Seay | Loading... I feel your pain with the scanning stuff. I'd love to know why the scanners are sized to 8.5 x 11 inches, but sketchpads are 9x12 inches. Drives me crazy.
Anyhoo, hey, nice fairy! I hope you try a few more full body pieces in the future. This makes a great addition to your gallery. | |

| 14 Nov 2007 |  Sarah Jane Laughman | Loading... How do you get your pencil work so clean? Mine's always so sketchy... She's cute,btw, even if she's only in her b-day suit!   Sherman Skip Nodler replies: "Thank you for the return visit. To answer your question, first at an art store get some heavy, very smooth paper. Next I use Drafting mech. lead pencils. I have several that I keep leads of diferent hardnesses in. The harder the lead the finer and lighter the line. Soft leads darker wider lines. These pencils need a sharpener. Keep them sharp. The filings in the sharpener work good with smudge sticks. If you can't find them locally get back to me. There are some internet places. Skip" | |

| 10 Jul 2009 |  Sonya Purcell Loving | Loading... She is just precious...though I would not let that fool you. She’s probably flittering around somewhere coming up with a wicked plot. Gotta love faeries though. Sherman Skip Nodler replies: "I think you’re right. Thanks for your visit!
Just refreshed my memory of who you are. Means alot coming from such a gretscale artist!

| 13 Jan 2010 |  Jaschenka Saarloos | Loading... Your linework is very crisp and accurate and you have an eye for composition and proportions. I’d like to see more full body drawings. And perhaps a bit more bold shading or even some color..take your time though! Love this one. Sherman Skip Nodler replies: "I’d like to see any new drawings from me{;-)> but free time of late is short. A guitar is easier to pick up. I will come look at the rest of yours though. Thank you for your visit and kind words. Skip" | |
| 28 Nov 2010 |  Shelz Keast | Loading... Looks good. You should do a colour version. Have you considered getting GIMP or Photoshop to do a digital colouring? Sherman Skip Nodler replies: "Thank you for the visit. I’ve tried colour from time to time. Never happy with it. With the folks here who’s colour drawing I love I find myself wondering how lovely it would look in greyscale. Tanks again." | |
