why is the balloon unporportioned? did it get too deflated?

nah, twas just a doodle. and doodles are sloppy. :)

where is Lee Scoresby in this picture?

There is no such word as 'unproportioned'

yeah, yeah yeah, if you really want to point it out, it's 'disproportioned'. Nice doodle.

what was the point in posting that?

how can you say that thats a nice doodle? even by doodle standards thats awful

to Angry Englishman. Steady on there! I sure didn't mean to make you angry. And, I doubt there is a Geneva convention equivalent for scoring doodles. Zippy could do better, true it is a bit odd looking, but you sound like...well, I apologize for making you angry.

i agree with the angry englishman up there :)

it's a doodle. i did it in downtime during class. it's a bit - no, let's be blunt - VERY rude to post on someone's art simply to insult it. as i've already stated that this drawing is a doodle, it means that it's not made to hang in museums or be graded seriously by such a renouned expert like the Angry Englishman (get my sarcasm there?) once again, a D-O-O-D-L-E. not supposed to be all that great. find something constructive to do, buddy.

yes zippy i think we all no that now

Here here Zippy, well said! If you are going to critisise, make it constructive, otherwise the artist has no idea what needs to be improved, but you have crushed their feelings. Dont just post "thats crap" or something.

I think its a good shot at a balloon, Ive personally never tried to draw one, but I doubt it could be better

i think ur the kindof person who thinks the glass is half full ...arent u?

well I think that people who draw should be encouraged for it, if that's what you mean. I dont see the point of criticising if there is no explination of how to improve, but encouragement never goes astray. People improve with practice, and you dont practice if youve been discouraged.

what zoe said and also doodles are never masterpieces and i'd like to see Angry Englishman's doodles. I like it. It looks like a hot air balloon and that's what it's ment to be.

Love it!!
