  1. Thanks Sugarplum for your comments!

    They have encouraged me! :D

    I'm going to try a face today...Gonna draw it on paper first..

    You're welcome:) And I hope you take a pic once you've drawn his face on;) Good luck with it!

    I found one that I did a while ago..made it while I was bored one day..

    Some of you may know Veggietales, it is our family's favorite kid's show..

    I thought they needed Zeppelin. ;)

    Cute. I'd say that's definitely a first :lol: Although I'm wondering how exactly Jimmy is going to play his guitar.. unless he has vines for arms :P Actually.. I guess that goes for all of them, haha. It's cute though, I like it:)

    I also like to embroider!

    I made two bracelets last year.

    I like them:) Especially the one on the bottom. That must have taken quite a bit of patience to do the detail work.

    Which gives me an idea!

    Would any of you be interested in making one?

    If so, I could post the patterns!

    Can make em your own style!

    Alter the patterns a bit! :)

    They make darn cute desk decor!

    And with all you people's skills, They'd come out even more realistic! :D

    That'd be great, if it's not too much trouble:) If anything, I'd just love to see how you go about making them. Maybe I'll give it a try sometime.. I've been interested in trying to piece together some sort of doll out of nick-knacks for a while now! Maybe I could get some ideas from your method:)

  2. aaah those lips, love it :) ... just curious, how long did it take you to draw this sketch?

    you got me inspired to do some art work too, but unfortunatley im at work now and when i go home i will probebly be tired <_< maybe this weekend.

    Thanks Diana:) The lips are my favorite part about this drawing too;) I managed to achieve the shiny, glassy sort of look I was trying to achieve. Which is surprising.. seeing as the drawing is actually about 4 x 4 1/2 inches or so in real life (my scanner enlarged it though, so that's why it's so big on here).

    I'd say it probably took me about an hour to two hours to work on this (I got distracted several times.. so I'm not exactly sure). You know.. I was actually tired when I started to work on this too.. (I'm tired a lot, which is not so good for my artistic motivation:P).. but listening to some Zep while working on this helped me to wake right up :stereo:

    I hope you'll share your drawing if you decide to do one:) Don't work too hard;)

  3. hey sugarplum, nice work.. are they Robert's ??? they seem so specially those two in the middle

    Hey thanks Diana :) Yep, they're Robert's:) I thought the two in the middle capture his likeness the most as well.

  4. Hi Penguie! I like your drawings a lot.. they have a lot of character to them:) And I love your Robert doll! It's adorable.. and you did so well sewing the clothes. You know.. I think he looks cute just the way he is.. whether or not you decide to draw a face on him;) I hope you'll continue to share your work.. I love it:)

  5. Hey everyone.. It's been ages since I've stopped in here! :mellow: I'm glad to see the Zep drawing thread has been going strong:) I have been seeing some beautiful works from you guys.. please keep it up:)

    I thought I'd share this eye study I drew recently .. guess which Zep boy they belong to :D

    Speak_to_Me_Only_with_Your_Eye_by_GoldenPear.jpg

    Don't ask me why I drew them one on top of the other, instead of side by side.. I don't know :P It just happened that way, and I thought it looked sort of neat:)

  6. Thank you!! your paintings are very awesome too!!! I wish I can make my own LZ mural in my room... maybe next year... :D

    Thank you so much:) I'd love to see a mural from you. Mine is going to take A LOT of blue paint.. it's going to be a sort of 'imaginary' scene from 'The Song Remains the Same' concert video. I'll have to mix-match a bunch of different still images together, in order to paint a full-body scene. I'm mostly using the Stairway to Heaven footage for reference, hence the very blue lighting. But there really aren't many good full-body shots of Robert during that scene, so I'm kind of just mix-matching to see what I come up with. It should be interesting!

  7. Perfectionist(sp?)

    That is such an amazing piece of art, god i am so jealous you such an amazing artsist, love your work so much. again with the jealousy.(sp?)

    *Sorry very bad speller here

    Thanks so much:) No need to be jealous though. I bet you're artistic in your own unique way. Just have confidence in your taste and passion for art, and the technical skills will come to you in time, if you keep at it. Just be patient, and observant, and always make sure to keep things interesting, and fresh. That's what I've come to realize. I'm always learning, and will continue to do so for a long time. :)

  8. Happy birthday Robert! This is a mural sort of thing I've begun painting "on" my wall. I plan to paint the entire band, and hope to create the illusion that the stage is receding back into my wall. I'm going to cover my whole wall with those panels, and then hopefully Zep will be jamming out in my room, in time:P

    I have a lot of details to work on. I'm just positioning right now. His head's a little big.. I need to fix that..

  9. I really like those drawings Ledtronulsja! The colors are so bright. Let me guess.. the ones on the graph paper were drawn during math class? (I used to doodle all of the time, too :P). And I still like to:) Keep it up.. I'd love to see more. They're so imaginative. Oh and I love the Sharpie tattoos too :D

  10. Following up on the advice I gave in the other thread - you need to do everything you can to pursue art as a full-time career. You have excellent skills already and tremendous potential. If it means moving away from your home town or doing whatever you have to do, you should (when ready and able).

    Thank you. I'm definitely looking for ways to branch out. I've been looking at the options the internet offers too.. Maybe I could get something going someday with commissions, or sell some of my pieces online. I know I still have a long way to go with my skills.. but I'm trying to look into the future as I progress. I guess I'm trying to weasel my way around college, and go straight into the field by way of commissions, word of mouth, etc. Maybe it'll hit me some day that the plan isn't working out.. but until then, that's what I'm hoping for. So for right now my main intention is to first acquire the skills I desire, and then see where I can take my art once I have a collection of pieces that I consider to be of good quality.

  11. A rushed drawing of younger Jimmy. There are a lot of trouble spots.. but I think it looks all right up close. The likeness isn't exactly perfect either.. oh well. I call this one "Mona Jimmy", because his expression reminds me of the Mona Lisa..very calm and enigmatic.. :lol:

  12. Thank you.

    It's not perfect though. There are obvious mistakes in it.

    Well I love it just how it is. I don't think it needs perfecting ;) I really do like it.
