I never saw the original before Jim sent it, but it never occurred to me that it *wasn't* drawn from a photo, unless you were fortunate enough to have Joni sit for you. I think that a lot of people who aren't artists probably think that artists can just make this stuff up out of their heads. There may be a few who can. My ex- was an artist and he always used reference material especially for illustrations; sometimes he would copy it as is; other times, he would use several different pictures (usually photos) combined to get what he was looking for. He would often get in trouble because some of his illustrations looked TOO much like such-and-such a celebrity, in his boss's opinion. Unless you have a REAAAALLY good memory, it's almost impossible to draw most things without reference, which is why artists use models (not *just* because they like looking at naked people). ===== Catherine Toronto ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
