I was wondering what I could do when I thought I should draw something.

This is what I eventually drew. I thought it was an easy drawing.

I used a dark colored paper and a white pencil.

***Note from Kerry:
It turned out brilliantly Dionne! This is lovely, well done. You have used your time wisely!

Brave

This is just one more of my attempts at using canvass.

I was told once that you can't use ink on a canvas, I feel I'm the one drawing it so I can use whatever medium I like! :)

***Note from Kerry:
Hi John, that's exactly right! There are no rules in drawing and we can do exactly as we like. It seems to be working for you, this looks fabulous!

Beauty

Beauty

This pencil drawing is drawn after a long gap in between. I used to draw sketches but in the middle of my life I left drawing because of some reason.

Then i started drawing again. This is the drawing that came out when I re-started.

***Note from Kerry:
Hi Chaithra, it's great to see you didn't lose any talent during the time you didn't draw. This sketch is very good, I know I'd be proud of it!

On A Little Tiny Chair

by lucia
(Indonesia)

Little Chair

I use grid drawing, it helps me alot. Those fingers holding the paper are the most difficult part.

I forget where I took this photo from.

***Note from Kerry:
Hi Lucia
Your drawing is terrific! Good job.

Thank you for sharing that you use a grid, you just might encourage other beginners to give it a go. Grids are of great benefit to start with because they help artists see their subject in a simpler way.

My Friends Baby

by elizabeth warner
(middle island, ny, usa)

Image rotated

I drew her for her uncle's birthday.

***Note from Kerry:
Hi Elizabeth!
You've done a great job of this drawing. I hope you don't mind but I rotated the image so we could see it right side up.

It's a shame you didn't tell us a little bit more about yourself. Do you draw often? Portrait drawing is so hard to learn but you've done a fine piece here.

Elizabeth, it would be great if you could write more than one line, just to keep within submission guidelines.

Thank you very much for sharing your drawing with us, I hope you make yourself at home and feel free to add comments to your page plus any others that you like.

Dad

by Michelle

My Dad

I drew this drawing originally of both my parents for an anniversary gift, but the drawing of my mother didn't turn out, so I cut that part off and kept the drawing of my father.

This is my fourth portrait drawing.

Michelle,
Your artwork is fantastic for such little experience. Imagine what you will produce in 12 months time?!
