You're getting there. Keep refining it, it is your best yet.

Yes definitly. You have got the colors down, and your shape is getting better and better. Keep it up. You are making good progress.

Thanks guys! I learned that the more I slow down and concentrate I get better results and yes it is my bestest one yet.

your bestest indeed!

I want to try and draw it and not lose any of the detail..

You could try drawing it at 1:1.

I do all of my drawings at 1:1 in MSPaint. If they come out too fat(Like my first ESB), I then resize the width in Photoshop, and then try to clean up anything it made look less detailed.

I used to add clouds/sun-glare in MSPaint(The last drawings I did entirely in MSPaint was The Chrysler Building and Woolworth), but it just got too time consuming...so I do that in Photoshop now.

You don't need a fancy program to make a nice drawing though. The last diagram I did completely in MSPaint was this:

thats better than my empire looks...I'll redraw it..

LMich · #13 Posted: **Sep 24, 2003, 2:36 PM**

Of course it's better. He's had a lot more practice than you've had.

RyanHayes1984 · #14 Posted: **Sep 24, 2003, 6:06 PM**

Practice? Once I get a new telephone cord, we'll see who had more practice...

I have a brand new drawing of the Empire State Building but due to the telephone cord incident, I cannot show it to you until I get one. It's better than my recent one....way better. Believe me!

Tony · #15 Posted: **Sep 24, 2003, 7:49 PM**

What does a telephone cord have to do with anything?

Buck · #16 Posted: **Sep 24, 2003, 7:51 PM**

Yes, what does it?

LMich · #17 Posted: **Sep 24, 2003, 10:08 PM**

Maybe he's on the forum using a distant computer and his home computer's phone cord it messed up. There's a variety of things that could have happened. It's not that surprising, guys.

Buck · #18 Posted: **Sep 24, 2003, 10:11 PM**

Usually phone cords aren't the problem and aren't hard to get a hold of...

We're not dumb.

LMich · #19 Posted: **Sep 24, 2003, 10:14 PM**

I see what you're saying. I'm just saying give the guy a break. Obviously there's something wrong and he can't show us the diagram just yet.

RyanHayes1984 · #20 Posted: **Sep 24, 2003, 10:25 PM**

You'll be able to see it tomorrow, I got the cord on the way now. The reason I bought the telephone cord up is because the old phone cord was 'cut'. This telephone cord goes to my computer which has MS Paint. Without the telephone cord, I cannot show you my latest drawing.
