Not particularly but it reminds me of another of my pictures!



I kept this framed Kandinsky print in my office for several years. One day it occurred to me that this is two ships engaged in a sea battle. Can you see it? :)

For those unable to post directly from your computer, you can select an image from your computer and upload it to an image hosting site, and then get the direct link for that image, and use the url to post it to the boards here, using the "Insert Image" icon above the text box (third from the right; make sure to uncheck the Retrieve remote file and reference locally, from the "From URL" tab of the app that opens to insert images) :)

https://postimages.org/


^^ There is a link to a free image hosting site. If you keep the image url as a document file somewhere on your computer, you can use it again and again :D Or, if you know where to find it on one of CC forum pages once you have posted it here at least once, you can always open it from that page and use the CC url to post your image again... maybe save it as a favorite (Bookmark) in your browser to find easily :)

It is always a good idea to preview your message to see how big the image is going to look. If you think it is too large or needs some adjustments, there are free online image editing programs that are fairly easy and fun to use :) I
f you make a boo boo it is very easy to fix. The free editors are a lot less complicated than photoshop, but still allow you to do an amazing array of edits. The one I use is https://pixlr.com/editor/

T
hen you just re-save the image back to your computer, and uplaod to the host site, get the direct link, and post it on the board as per above instructions. Give the edited image a new name so you do not overwrite the original image. I usually just add on to the end of the original image name; then all similar images show up alphabetically in whichever folder I have them in.

I hope that helps :)

I explained in detail which may make it look complicated, but it is simple and takes little time :) The extra explanations were for resizing and figuring out ways to easily find the image file again, so you can just copy the image itself, or find the url for reposting without having to repeatedly upload the image to an image host, which would create a new image url :)

I forgot to mention that the re-size option is available when you upload :D

What is the difference between the ones that can be posted and the ones that can not? Lyn has been here a long time and is a reputable member- so it must not be based on the member?

Rather confusing.
Not sure about here but I did mod another fourm . We did ask folks not to post a lot of pics due to server issues . Pics take up considerable space on our server . Not saying that’s the issue here but may answer the question.

You certainly have a lot more imagination than I do.

So you made up some random thought cuz you were bored and the picture sucks?
Really? This is your comment about someone else's art? I'm not sure there's anything in your post that I could dignify with a response. So I'll just make a general observation: Perhaps you should grow up. /out

I don't know what you feel you need to improve on, and I'm no expert. But I found it really helpful to be a little sloppy. Let your drawings flow out from your movements. Works great with painting too.

1. If that's a picture of two ships in a battle... I'd have to say they're both losing.

2. People should be able to post all the pics they want if they just upload them elsewhere and use the link.

Well, I can't post any pics, but if you zoom in on my profile pic you can see one of my doodles. The pic didn't turn out too well though.

Have you tried drawing something that you don't usually? That can be helpful too.

What do you draw by the way, I was going to assume anime. And have you tried other art forms?
