For Dela's class, we're doing weekly "speedpaintings." He puts up images on the blog, and we have one hour per image to paint it in photoshop. No rules, only tools :-) I actually had a good time with it! (It was too easy, so I wonder if I did something wrong). Anyway, I wanted to put this one up because I'm kindof proud of it.

And I'm surprised at how nice it turned out too, with all the sketchy brushwork, etc.,...I surprised myself (one of those "wow, I'm capable of this?" moments). Tee hee! --L
