How do you remove regular pencil marks from a natural color canvas without damaging it or a felt pen? I want to cover over the pencil with a felt tip marker but then how do i remove the excess pencil?

This may sound like a stupid question, but...I've never been good at drawing....just like a normal person, I guess...I can draw stick ppl and smiley faces and it basically ends there...a few pieces I've spent a lot of time on turned out ok...
So my question is, if I spend time and effort, maybe take classes, etc., could I learn to draw passably, even well?

It's a warm, fluffy, cute little painting that needs a good title, a loving pat on the head and a place to call it's own.

But let's start with a title. What would you suggest based on you're personal perspective?

(As always, you can click on the image to enlarge, but not enrage, it.)

I've been working on a project, photographing 'female art nudes. Major difference is that all the subjects are well-educated & successful professionally. I've photographed a nationally-known biologist, a professor of Comparative Literature, a theatre director, etc. They are all 'hot' and attractive. I have a short bio. of each with proper place names omitted and photos have been approved by subjects regarding visibility of facial features. Assuming the photos & art direction are good (they are) could this book be marketed with a working title like 'Erotic and Smart Women." Might a publisher go for it? The idea is to challenge stereotypes.

Digital imaging has made tremendous improvements since the days of the 2 or 3mp cameras. It has all but eliminated film at all levels, from the casual snapshooter to the working professional photographer.

How ironic is it that at least two companies now offer software to simulate the look of film?

The alienskin.com site offers EXPOSURE: the closest thing to film since film.

At dxo.com you'll find FilmPack v1.2: Rediscover the magic of film in digital photography.

Since I'm still using film I'm saving money by not needing to buy this software.

ive made so much research on chucks and the problem is, high grade or special materials just arent available in the philippines.

ive researched on the net for what to use and i came up with
-spraypaint (some say it peels off)
-acrylic paint with textile medium (some say it still cracks a little and youd have to be professional to do it right)
- fabric paint (i just cant find any of that here)
-sharpees (dont look too nice and smudge when wet!)

please shed some light and tell me what other materials or what can i do to customize my chucks and makie it last.. prefrably better it fades than cracks!

Okay, my husband and daughter travel hours to the beach just for pictures on the beach. We had someone take them on our camera. When we try to upload the photos to make them into a holiday greeting card it says that the resolution is too low and I need at least 1024x768 pixels. I am not good with cameras at all but I have heard you can fix the resolution without having to take the picture again.

Does anyone know how to increase the resolution/pixels??? Please, I am desperate!

We had some family pictures done the other day. I'm not sure how many we're going to pick yet. Which ones do you think are the best? These are the first family pics we've ever done and we plan on getting them framed and given to family members for christmas. What do you think?

I would be conducting a science experiment this week. I am choosing optics. So, what I have are these:
Camera: Minolta s414
lens: Pentax 100mm

so, Minolta s414 is not an SLR camera and I wanna attach the Pentax Lens to it. The only problem is that the image I have is blurry, any idea how to overcome it?

Some artworks contain explicit images which could possibly be mistaken for porn, and some pornorgraphy might have used 'art' as an excuse for its creation. How then would the viewer be able to tell the difference between art and porn?
