Hey Roel

It's just that it is quite a good picture. I understand now why you used pen and ink, because it is for a school newspaper.

 

Ah, a 'Bain Marie'...
(apologies for the spelling, which is bound to be wrong!)

 

I guess you did a Google search on my name and found it?

Or do you actually know Willem Korevaar?

 

Closer to the former, not the latter. But basically, yes I googled your name and found a picture, which you obviously drew at school.
BTW Goodgle my name if you like, I have already tried it. There is nothing of interest.

 

If you want to know about my drawing "skills" I could suggest the Nose Art topic where I posted a little pic for the forum... Here it is:

That is not a bad picture you drew there, Roel. It had a message too.

 

Thanks!

And did you see the painting that followed?

 

Not bad, not bad at all. I have never been able to draw in my life, ever. My best skill is languages, which fortunately requires no artisitic skills.

 

Wasn't the title to this thread a song by the Beatles? lol :lol:

 

very good roel, ive seen some very good art in the past because my brother did A1 art but didnt do A2 because he was exspelled

 

Thanks Dave! Actually mine was done on a measly piece of A4, since my scanner won't take it bigger than that! Accounts for the lack of detail since I'm not good at the fiddly work. Brush-wise that is.

 

i can make pretty patterns with a rifle

 

I cannot draw for my life, even my stick men resemble a stick insect that has been tortured to death by a three year old. I have recently (over the past year, that is) been painting 25mm high Lord of the Rings models. They're not that good, but I am always improving.

 

As a tradition on this forum, we must see pictures.

 

Once again my lack of scanner etc. means that you cannot see my models. Maybe soon.

 

S.O.E. You need to get a scanner. If your parents won't buy you one for Christmas, how about for your birthday?

 

It's nine months away, David! I wish that they would buy me one anyway because they love me.

 

S.O.E. I am sure that they do love you, and that the lack of a scanner, in no way reflects on their love for you. In fact, in my experience, expensive gifts from parents can sometimes be to compensate for a lack of love, and to salve their guilty conciences.
Are you old enough to go out and get a part time job? That way you could save enough to buy a scanner. Or if you get pocket money, you could put that aside to go towards it. Once you had got halfway there, you could always try approaching your parents to "broker a deal" perhaps?

 

That's good advice David. I will try it, let's see how much a scanner costs.
