I've found I have a strange fascination with drawing pirates or thing related to pirates.

It looks better in low light. With bright lights on you can see that I accidentally smeared the pencil lead with my wrist lol XD

You know, I can't see that anywhere XD

@Kiwi-Dan: Lmao

@BlueMetalChick: Seriously, chick, you're an amazing artist

@Kiwi-Dan: I prefer to draw. I do good drawings. I'm awful at painting lol but I like to do it anyway cos it's fun.

@BlueMetalChick: I understand. Painting can be hard; my experience of it is painting miniatures, so there's tiny surfaces and details involved. Proper painting must be even worse

@Kiwi-Dan: Oh man, painting small things sounds even harder. I had to paint for art class in high school. I got good grades because I at least tried. My favorite part was at the end of class when we were supposed to get rid of all the excess paint we didn't use. I used to smear it all over a piece of wax paper and make my hands turn rainbow colors before washing it off in the sink.

@BlueMetalChick: That sounds awesome! And it is really hard, especially if you do all the highlighting. I'd recommend trying it if you're into that sort of thing
