# Evening!

Today I have mostly been playing with brushes and what not in tattyshop, and was rather pleased how this came out, so I thought I'd share it. What have you lot been doing?

Now I'm eating a pork chop. Very nice.

# I never know if what people post here is traced or not
I don't know how I feel about this.

The picture is very nice if it's not traced.


I am trying to cobble together a 16mm camera battery out junk I found on the internet.

# I had the image as a layer
and painted on blobs of colour, blurred, painted, blurred etc etc and fiddled with brushes alot. :\

'edit' none of this here is part of the original, mind!

Why would copying accurately be any more respectable than tracing? I guess you could argue that it requires more skill... but what about people who are born with the innate ability to draw accurately from life? Are their drawings less respectable, because they use natural talent instead of acquired skill?
There are a lot of attitudes to making pictures that I find confusing and that, in my opinion, don't really logically stand up to close scrutiny.
Da Vinci used a Camera Obscura as a drawing aid sometimes. Vermeer and Canaletto used it extensively :)
