WOW!!!!!!!!!
I had to comment on this one again. The value changes....the eyes!!!!
Please show us every painting, every drawing.
Do you have a website with gallery if so can you PM me with it. Thanks! |
Thanks again slave.
This is my personal favourite.
I am working on a slide show for You Tube but so far a lot of the paintings are monochrome in the video. I need to find out why. |

Thanks Makayla. This one is on display at home in my living room.
I saw some entertainers in the street. I asked permission to paint two children and a man. The man never got finished.

slave, the best thing for now may be if you google idrawandpaint Mike Fone. Then you may be able to find your way by the menu to My Page and My Artwork. It's a long way from everything I've done, but quite a bit. |

Let's see if this video slideshow works. I've never done this before.
This is a try out with no fancy bits, like transitions or titles.
These are some of my paintings not yet see here.

The nomadic, pastoral uZosis have long been a thorn in Keshta's side, habitually raiding its desert frontiers. Originally divided into numerous warring clans, the uZosis have recently begun organizing into one larger nation which poses a worsening threat to Keshtan hegemony.
As you might guess from the name and outfit, the uZosis have a vaguely Zulu inspirational source. |

Very nice. The amount of time on each painting is good, but maybe if there was a couple seconds more each?
I like so very much your style and feel of the brush. Wonderful work! |

Thanks for the comment mntn.
Here's one of my earliest efforts, a Porshe 911. Gouache on watercolour paper. As you can see I wasn't very good at drawing the wheels. Getting an elipse in perspective is not easy.

I reckon being able to draw is the most important skill for a portrait painter. So I copied this Leonardo for practise.

Physicists experimenting with trans-universal travel have discovered a parallel world where dinosaurs like those of our own planet's prehistory still roam. Although this "Otherworld" has since been colonized by Terrans fleeing an ecologically devastated Earth, it was already home to an indigenous race of human beings collectively called the Otherworlders. Otherworlders are characterized by jet-black skin and yellow eyes but are reproductively compatible with Terrans. Relations between Otherworlders and Terrans vary depending on Terran colonial policy, with some colonies maintaining peace with the natives while others prefer to exploit or even exterminate them. |
