Dragonfly Drawing

This is the name tag that I use for my Christian Living/Christian Formation classes.

The dragonfly represents myself, the tree is peace, the words by Amelia Burr a reminder to love life and "JC" is myself (I just like to call myself "Bexii").

The grass and flowers at the base of the tree are pretty extras (in the drawing and in my life) and the tiny butterflies are other people. There's one small dragonfly amongst the butterflies and that's me: different from everyone else.

I did the smudges with a bad eraser. It couldn't erase things properly and it just smudged up the page so I used it to create the grey background.

I learned how to draw the tree and the big dragonfly here at allaboutdrawings.com. =)

***Note from Kerry:
Hello Bexii
I'm so pleased you sent in your drawing to show me. Your story is lovely, I love the way you have described everything and told us what the drawing symbolizes. It's no wonder you are proud of your first attempt.

Bad eraser?
by: Bella

Hi Bexii, Glad to see that even though you say you had a bad eraser, you still sent in your work for the rest of us to see. I started drawing round about the begining of this year and I've learned that one of the things about it is that we have to make the most of our mistakes. Cover them up and make the drawing more interesting. So, you have done nothing wrong. You have just used your imagination.
Ciao
