Perhaps it is on North Dumpling island?

Farther north (the trees are a bit of a giveaway, nothing else grows at this location)

nope. I found a professional photo online. The guy must have been sitting on the same rock when he shot this.

Its the Bar Harbor Head lighthouse in Maine.

maine was my next guess....darn but i think that you have some great talent ...it totally blows my best drawing out of the water

are any of you guys going to either the Boilermaker Regional or the West Michigan Regional?? ill be at both places and prolly be drawing when im not fixing the robot or being the human player...

I have to give much of the credit for my drawing skills to one book. I spent a few years trying to learn to paint with oil, when I finally realized I could not draw . How can you paint if you cant draw?

I found a book called "Drawing on the right side of your brain" by Betty Edwards. It teaches you, in order to draw you first have to learn how to see, to really see what you are looking at. The rest is just training your hand to output what your eyes see.

I cant recommend the book enough. Anyone can vastly improve their drawing skills with this book, and every public library Ive ever checked had at least 3 or 4 copies.

the drawing below is an ink copy of a drawing I saw in another book. One of the best ways to improve your skills is to copy great work done by someone else (copying the masters) It took me about three evenings.

I mostly draw cars, pencils or pens for me, no colour other than that, I also draw using MS paint alot, one example is my avatar.

And I am willing to make anyone a robot related avatar, as long as they give me a front, rear or side picture. For car avatars, give me either a front or rear picture.
