My first Piccie in years!

**porshiepoo** · 16-Mar-07, 15:30

Not a photo in the usual sense I know but this is a photo of my first drawing in many many years - so what do y'all think?
I played it safe by finding a piccie I liked on the web and drawing it from that (albeit much larger as the web piccie was about 4inches).

Gonna have a go at something else now.

well done Poshiepoo. Its lovely. I would love to be able to paint or draw, but I have no artistic streak at all.

What a skill !, fantastic drawing, you could be doing that for a living, assuming of course that you aren`t already.

AWWWWWW Shucks!
No I don't do it for a living although i wouldn't mind once I've got more practice in.
Like I said, I've not picked up a pencil for about 15 years. When I left school I had intended to take it further but ended up working with horses instead and then had kids and never found the time. I did this one mostly out of curiosity to see if I still could.

absolutely amazing picture!! I always envy people who are good at art/music - anything that requires a natural talent - you either have it or you don't. Unfortunately, I don't!!

Just out of interest, how long does a pic like that take you to draw?

It's very well drawn obviously a natural draftsman. Might i suggest doing a few more and then possible entering them into the Caithness art exhibition this summer? It's the kind of thing that would sell up here.

Henry20, this one took me about 4 days but only spending say a couple of hours a time. When I was at school I always had to get my drawings done in quick time as I'd get bored after a while but I decided to take my time with this one.
Gothika I've actually never heard of this exhibition, sounds interesting though.
Perhaps when I get used to colour again then I'll give it a shot. Thanks.
