Lil Wayne

by lorraine woodby
(long island,ny)

I really like drawing little Wayne. He has all those tattoo's. And he has a lot of different pics. I find that he is one of best artwork pic. I really don't care for too much for his music. I know he has a mother and she didn't raise him with all that nonsense. But whatever sells today.
I love old school music. It was relaxing and soothing.lol



Note from Kerry:

Lorraine, I must be really behind the times because I've never heard of him!! However, I still think your drawing is great! I also like the older type music -- I think it's what we get used to when we are growing up.

Hi,I believe this is one of my best drawings. Hollar back and let me know. And again thanks.

***Note from Kerry:
Hi Rena
I think it's fantastic alright! Not that I understand digital works too much, can I ask do you use a tablet to create these?

Brownsuit

by Rena woodby
(long island,ny)

Hi all,
I am trying to draw more of the body. Clothes, feet hands and etc. I am practicing drawing part of the body i find difficult for me to draw.

I now need to draw the nude body and see how i do. So i continue to practice.

Again thanks for comment's. Have fun.


***Note from Kerry:
Hi Rena
It looks great to me and I can't pick which part you struggle with.
Unfortunately, we won't be able to see your nude studies - rules and all that - so children can participate here too. Anyway, keep going, looks to me like you're doing just fine! I admire your dedication to practice - good on you.

La love story

by rena woodby

This drawing kinda looks like two people. They are two people in love as one.
Some day i would like to be in love again. I hope and pray that this year my soul mate is out there.
Happy New year everyone. And Thanks so much. Take care.



Note from Kerry:

I hope you have a happy new year, too! It's a shame you have forgotten to put your name to your drawing so I don't know who I am addressing. Please make a comment here and give your name so we can give you input about your wonderful drawing.
Edited:
Lorraine (Rena) resent the drawing in. Happy New Year to you, Rena, thanks for your participation here as we look forward to seeing more of your grand work over time.

Rena's drawing

I feel this is one of my drawing. I drew this on the computer online. And believe me that is not easy, trust me.

I have been drawing for 6 or 7 yrs. I pick it up on my own.

***Note from Kerry:
Hi Lorraine
It is extremely hard to draw on the computer so I know what you mean and I can appreciate that you have done a terrific job here.

Mystery Woman

by Karen Welter
(Joshua, Texas)

Good Evening,

First of I would like to thank Kerry and also Marty for encouraging everyone to keep on drawing! And also Kerry I took your advice and started dating all of my drawings. This one here I saw on the web and it was challenging for me.

But I used a #2 pencil and a home made shader. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed drawing this one.

Thank you Kerry,
Karen


***Note from Kerry:
Karen, your drawing is lovely. I love simplistic drawings just like this one, they have tremendous appeal. All credit rightly goes to you Karen, for your persistence and practice.

I Drew Half

by Kimberly Valenzuela
(Grand Terrace, Calif.)

This one is supposed to be the girl from the show called sex in the city...I can't think of her name...but it was my first one I ever did like this.

I don't think it really looks like her but like I say, it was my first so I kept on doing them til I got better.

**Note from Kerry:
Hi Kimberly, I think it is fantastic. At first glance, you wouldn't even know that one half of this is drawn. Good job!

The Fly Boy

by Betty "Boo"
(Ronan, Montana)

This is a portait of a man among men! The photo used was from March 20, 1942 at an airfield that trained pilots.

On this day my friend Don received his first set of wings. It was also his 20th birthday. Don is still with us and enjoying his long earned retirement.


***Note from Kerry:
Hi Betty,
It looks like you have done a fantastic job with the portrait of Don - good work! Is it to be a gift to him? That was a very special day in his life and so good of you to re-create it this way.

Fair Blows The Wind

by Dennis Smith
(Birmingham,Alabama )

I did this drawing as a salute to the great western writer Louis L'amour.

***Note from Kerry:
Hi Dennis, this is an awesome drawing.

It would be great if you could write more than one line please Dennis, just to keep within submission guidelines.

If you are having trouble thinking about things to write, you can tell us how long you have been drawing, what inspired you to start drawing, how did you learn to draw, what is your favorite medium, do you ever sell your work .... and so on. These are things we would love to know.

Sleepy time on Gamms Lap

by Ellen Brown
(Sealy, Texas)

This is Keegan, my granddaughter when she was about 9 months old. She fell asleep on my lap and I just couldn't resist taking her picture. I love drawing from photographs and this one is always my favorite!



Note from Kerry:

Ellen, this is one to treasure! You've done a lovely job of the drawing - I think you are a fantastic artist. You have captured the face in repose perfectly.

Woman Posing

by Charlene Young
(Hamilton, NJ )

I got this idea for this drawing from a picture. I liked the pose so I drew it.

This is my second portrait drawing. I drew this about three years ago.


***Note from Kerry:
Hi Char!
It's great to see another of your drawings. I can see why you had to draw this, it's a great pose, I agree. I love your style - keep up the good work!

A Coal Miner

by Dennis Smith
(Birmingham,Alabama )

This is a tribute to my Father.

This is not a sketch of him. This was a photograph in some old magazine, but it made me think of him as he was a coal miner for many years.



***Note from Kerry:
Hi Dennis, my uncle was a coal miner and your sketch also reminded me of him. I like it very much.

(Riga)

This is a portrait drawing of my grandfather, who passed away many years ago.

***Note from Kerry:
Hi Janis, this drawing is so good, I am sure it will be passed down through generations of your family. Don't forget to attach details about him on to the back and be careful not to damage your work.

In memory of my father

by Tina Armstrong
(Lugoff ,SC, US)

My father passed away in 2006 I did not know my father very well but the little time I did get to spend with him I will always cherish.
He was a very loving father and will miss him deeply. After he passed away my uncle had given me a picture of my father in his military uniform. I sat down one night and drew this portrait of my father from his picture.



Note from Kerry:
Hello Tina
You have created a wonderful drawing and I am certain your father would have been very proud of you!
It looks great, the detail is fantastic - you're a very good artist.

Hi Lin
I can see why you are proud of this, it is just great! You're not alone with wishing we'd made this discovery sooner. Let's hope the young'uns listen up.

Blackbeard The Pirate

by Dennis W Smith
(Birmingham,Alabama )

Blackbeard the pirate (real name "Edward Teach") was a pirate who raided off the coast of Colonial America in the early 1700's.

The governor of Virginia grew tired of it and sent a group of seamen after him. Blackbeard was killed and his head chopped off. One legend has it that his head was taken back to England to be buried and another says his head is buried somewhere on the coast of North Carolina.

***Note from Kerry:
Hi Dennis, I saw the comedy movie of Blackbeard's Ghost and thoroughly enjoyed it. He wasn't all mean in the movie and quite likeable.

Your drawing is great, I love the colored teeth!

The Deceased Man

by Marty
(U.S.A.)

Hello Everyone:

I did this drawing with a # 2 pencil, a HB # 2 art pencil and ink pen and a charcoal art pencil for the shading. I thought I would shade around the drawing heavy to bring out is white hair better. Does it look ok? I hope you like it.

This is the picture of a man named John " Tipton " Mox. (I forgot to put his last name on the drawing.)

Anyway Old John Mox died and didn't know he was dead. Why he and I were walking down the street on the sidewalk of course and we were talking. I was trying my best to get him to go to the church where they were going to have his services. It starts at 2 PM and it was already noon time. He was also asking me why no one was talking to him and everytime that someone saw him, he would greet them but they would get all white in the face and would run off leaving him there talking to himself.

Now I have the full story if you would want to read it. Just email me here at: ezbayfx2 @yahoo.com. (Just remove the space to bring the email line together. Oh, in your subject line put " John Mox the dead man ")

Just let me know how you like the drawing and the story. And if you would like more.

Kindly

Marty!

***Note from Kerry:
Hi Marty, your drawings are coming along nicely, I can see so much improvement. It's great that you put variety into your work and that you like experimenting with different effects. The dark background does look good. Overall, I think you've done a great job!
