Thank you very much for the response :yes

I didn't know what the heck an acryl painting was before, but now I do.
You already saw one before though ;)
There is that waterfal painting you already commented on on (currently on page 2 of this thread). The colors are somewhat similar to oil colors but take much less time to dry and can be combined with water.

The rest of these sketches I haven't seem before. What I have noticed through the years is your characters have become less blocky and more rounded especially in the legs and torso. This continues to improve.
Thank you. Were they blocky? This is something I didn't yet pay attention too knowingly therefore this comment really helps :yes Something I often messed up in my earlier drawings are too long and thin legs and sometimes too small feed for the two-legged characters (Ducky, Pterano etc.).

Sometimes I just forget to continue unfinished threads. Sorry about this, there is more for this one.
The next drawing is one I did in 2003 or 2004 upon the request of a fan who was planning on a picture with the same motive (he described me what he wanted to create and I made the drawing upon his description) and was looking for some inspiration.
I guess some may think of it as "suggestive" and I see where those are coming from who think of it that way. However, I have often stated my view on the Littlefoot / Ali relationship and the extend of it, so "Honi soit qui mal y pense" ("shame upon him who thinks evil of it" :lol:):

Thank you :)
Today I did some LBT sketches at the university. I tried to sketch Cera's father from memory. I rarely drew him before, so I could not rely on my memory too much and I didn't have any image to check out for comparison. As a result there are a couple of mistakes in the image of him. I hope to get a bit better acquainted with photoshop so I used it to color this picture:

Thanks to Kacie I could resolve the coloring issues I had with the second drawing I made today. It shows a character from my LBT story "Old Threehorns":

I guess I will start posting that fanfiction (it is titled "Old Threehorns") here once I finish the posting of "The Cold Time". However, "Old Threehorns" is not finished so far. I'm afraid it is not a very readable product. It probably is too long winded. I think only Kacie and Kor ever read as much as the 9 pages prologue.
I'm quite happy with the way Tops and Tritus (that's the name of the other character) turned out. As for the little mistakes, where my memory failed me when I was drawing Tops, he lacks the bony projections which he ought to sport below the end of his frill. Also Tops in the movies has a few lines running from his nose horn up between his eyes making his face look a little more angular (while Cera's face is very round). The sockets of his horns are smoother in the movie than they appear in this drawing. Haying established these points now I will remember them in future drawings of Tops. It is interesting to draw him as I think noticing these points may be helpful in drawing grownup characters in general, not just him.

I think I learned a bit about Photoshop today :)
I have been experimenting with it for quite a few hours today and I'm quite happy with the result:

Still I see why a graphic tablet would be a good idea. If only the good ones weren't so expensive.

Thank you :)
Judging from Littlefoot's look I'm not so sure Ducky is the bad one  ;)
A while ago I made the drawing of Cera getting lectured by Ducky (it really was funny to draw a picture with the roles so different from the expectations ;)). Maybe I came up with this one for the sake of the "accustomed order" :p
