Drawing Practice

I have been one of those people

who SWEAR up and down they can't draw.

I still will tell you that.

I will tell you how awesome my brother is,

and I was the one shorted in the creativity department.

But, boosted in some self-confidence that I can

be creative, just in a different way,

I decided I wanted to learn how to draw.

It can only help, right?

Plus, I was inspired by Andrea's (AMAZING)

drawing skills, so I have been

drawing a little every day.

A few minutes here and there at work,

a little at home.

I've borrowed some books from the library.

I must say, I am pleased so far.

Not because anything is good

but because I am continuing to try.

Bear with me as I post some of my efforts!

My white balance is so off in all these photos!

It is all the same moleskine, I just suck

at making sure they all look the same ;)

This is to basically show you how

much I need to learn.

hahaha!

This is me trying to draw my feet 

(as I lay on the couch)

by drawing what I see.

There truly is a disconnect

between what you think you see,

and what there really is.

Plus, perspective and angles and curves

are all so HARD for me!

And shading.

Tonight, I tried to draw my eyes.

They look nothing like me,

but as eyes overall,

I don't think they are TOO bad.

The right eye looks surprised/scared

and the left eye looks sort of sad.

What do you think that says about

my mental health?

haha!
