A Little More Art?

Thought I'd shared an new piece of "art" I've attempted.  This time, I'm also sharing the photo I used to sketch from.  This is my granddaughter, Katie...well, at least the photo is of Katie, the sketch is my attempt to sketch Katie from the photo.   Here's the photo I used:

And here's my sketch from the photo.  Still a lot of things I need to work on. Can you see any resemblance to the photo?  I'm afraid I didn't do it justice.

Also sharing another piece of my Zentangle Inspired Art.  I did this while watching television the other night.  Still haven't mastered the perfectly round look, but I'll get there! LOL!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Please leave me a comment and give me your take on my sketching....should I pursue sketching?  Your comments as always, are greatly appreciated.

Until next time...

Second Post today....

~Gasp~....two posts in one day!  I've not been sitting around doing nothing.  For some reason, I decided to try my hand at sketching.  These are a few of the sketches I've done in the past week...definitely NOT professional art by a long stretch, but I amazed myself. I've never been able to draw much more than a stick figure...and now I've drawn something that actually looks like a person!! I did watch a few "how to" videos on YouTube....how to draw an eye, etc. For drawing, I used a regular #2 pencil and (did some shading) blended some of the lines with a blending stump.

First drawing

Second drawing

Third drawing

I will always be my own worse critic, I know.  Although these are definitely more than stick figures, they still didn't turn out real enough for me.  The first two, I was just drawing....no one specific in mind.  The third drawing was done by looking at a photo of my niece, Sarah.  While it does resemble her (slightly), it still isn't "right".  For some reason, I always get the eyes too big...face too fat...and nose a little crooked!! LOL! Isn't there a saying about "practice makes perfect"?  Guess I need some more practice!

Who knew?!  So...I might just pursue this a bit further and see if there's any real talent to be found. I did enjoy piddling with the drawings,

Okay...I think that's all from me today.  Gotta get busy and get something done around here!  Thanks a bunch for stopping by!  Comments or critiques definitely welcomed...just be kind to this "budding" artist! LOL!

Until next time....
