Always the option of just doing paint touch-ups. Buy some model paints in the same shades (or mix paints to get the correct shade) and just paint over the stains. Let dry for 24 hours, the doll will be good to go.

I'm hoping to run in on Friday. Though, once I move, I'm gonna need to switch my subscription service to another store.

I think it's a view of the sole of a foot as it's pivoting or standing on the toes.

Feet are a pain to draw. One thing that helped me was something artist Darick Robertson (of Transmetropolitan fame) does: start the shape of the foot with an elongated figure-8. Lemme see if I have an example...

Here we go...

Wily's right (your left) foot is shaped from a figure-8. This may take some practice to figure out where the arch and instep goes, but it certainly helped me with drawing feet. As for drawing feet in angles, poses, and such? Photo references and studying how the foot moves are your best bets.

Half the time, my sketchbooks, notebooks, whatever else are rotated a bit to the left. It just feels more comfortable that way. My tablet doesn't always start out rotated, but by the time I'm done with a pic, it's turned about 20 degrees to the left.

I rotate my Wacom a bit on the table as that's just more comfortable. If it feels more natural to have the tablet sitting at a 45 degree angle, then have it sit like that.

Well, damn... I really liked Frazetta's work, he's one of my influences. Got acquainted with his work through the pages of Heavy Metal way back when.

Here's to you, Frank Frazetta. May your women be buxomed, your cheesecake be delicious, and your men as manly as men can be. You will be missed.

The Cinq will run you, last I checked, at least $200. Personally, I would stick with the Wacom. You'll get used to drawing with it pretty quickly.

I'm a yuppie coffee drinker. Mocha latte with whole milk, whipped cream, and shot of espresso. Gets me going for the day.

Though, I enjoy the house brew as well.

You are aware that we have rules concerning proper sentence structure, are you not? According to your profile, you are 21 and live in Oakland, California. Your name indicates that you are a native speaker of English.

So, speak like an adult who knows English.

Shadow stormtrooper (ignoring that I called the file "Commando," I just wanted to get the pics off my phone.), and I got to hug the scout trooper and TIE pilot.

It tied up traffic something fierce until someone just let her go through. She smiled and waved as people drove straight for her, blaring their horns.
