How have you been?!

I have not seen you on Freerepublic for a long time. I greatly
enjoyed the drawing you used to post on Freerepublic.

I hope all is well with you and again - it is very nice to hear from you.

Keep in mind it’s not like he can just say whatever the heck he wants.

Folks listen in to a guy like that.

He has been asked questions like that in the past and has always kept it light.

Not a joke, a metaphor for Trump. It is pretty. :-)

My friend, have you ever heard of the web site Fineartamerica.com?

This is a web site where artists and photographers from all over the world upload images of their artwork. The web site then markets your artwork and you receive a commission when the work sells.

The cost to join is very small and there are many artists who have conversations in their forum. The other artists are very helpful as well on how to use the web site.

I just now searched that web site for artists from Beijing China and found 120 people.

It might be worth your while to check it out.

https://fineartamerica.com/artistdirectory.html

The above link will take you to the artists I found in Beijing. There is a profile picture of each and you can view their artwork.

one suggestion- the upper lip, on hte lion’s right ride (our left) needs to be darker grayer- to help it recede as it ‘falls away from the viewer’

Several tips include grayer, darker, less saturated colors, cooler colors recede- warmer brighter, more saturated, advance towards the viewer

The uniform brightness on the upper lip across both sides throws hte perspective off just a bit- throw a little blue into the white, and gray it down just a bit, makign it darker- but not much darker- gotta strike a balance

Remember those tips for all edges that ‘fall away from the viewer’ too- that’s help give it more 3 dimensional look

The eye is about 1/3 down from top which is good- but shoudl be a little more to our right more towards the 1/3 point- it’s a little too centered- off center gives it more dynamic tension- which you woudl want for a dynamic subject such as this-

I liek hte different colors i nthe hair- shows creative expressionism- maybe a little more brushwork in hte mane though to give it more volume-

Overall, nice job-

BTW, I don’t really know if Trump has blue eyes. I like your elephant too. Beautiful.

I think China is now more capitalist than California...so move East, young man. Move East.
