Mostly I'm interested in drawing Hank Rearden, Dagny Taggart, and Francisco d'Anconia. I'm intimidated to draw Dagny's body, in a suit or an evening dress, they are equally striking to me. Ayn Rand is a genius. Of that I am convinced.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8067535840010333570-8017931240858581751?l=k-rowe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Krowenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8067535840010333570.post-44845346817750598642009-03-03T13:13:00.000-08:002009-03-14T21:19:15.150-07:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_azUgTnPzFZA/SbyBtzRPRuI/AAAAAAAAAC4/VN4WgeR9czg/s1600-h/instinctattempt3.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_azUgTnPzFZA/SbyBtzRPRuI/AAAAAAAAAC4/VN4WgeR9czg/s400/instinctattempt3.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313264284246951650" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This was much more fun to draw than to paint digitally, but I guess I liked the way it turned out-- except the background. I don't know how I feel about the orange. This is supposed to be my cat Specter. She's never brought home a canary yet, but I've seen mice, rabbits, exotic birds (people's pets?), stellar jays, and finches.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8067535840010333570-4484534681775059864?l=k-rowe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Krowenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8067535840010333570.post-67848334692210105132009-02-19T12:39:00.001-08:002009-03-04T14:01:55.974-08:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_azUgTnPzFZA/Sa76TWxjReI/AAAAAAAAACw/_4RLBfN9AG8/s1600-h/georgiapvaluesweb.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 244px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_azUgTnPzFZA/Sa76TWxjReI/AAAAAAAAACw/_4RLBfN9AG8/s400/georgiapvaluesweb.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309456221154264546" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I had a hard time this week with the word from Illustration Friday. I knew I didn't want to draw birthday cakes or brides or happy children. Instead I picked the heroic slaying of a terrorizing dragon, which the little townsfolk in the background are celebrating. I found the technique for this image fun, but unduly time-consuming.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8067535840010333570-6784833469221010513?l=k-rowe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Krowenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8067535840010333570.post-45018757614146499642009-02-12T11:39:00.001-08:002009-03-04T13:59:55.415-08:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_azUgTnPzFZA/Sa750Y9lUvI/AAAAAAAAACo/TOacHBjl238/s1600-h/cinderellaunifyweb.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_azUgTnPzFZA/Sa750Y9lUvI/AAAAAAAAACo/TOacHBjl238/s400/cinderellaunifyweb.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309455689165656818" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There hardly seems like enough time before something really great has to end.
