draw

Last night is the second night in a row that I just could not sleep, so I started using my pastels again. It’s been awhile since I have worked on any personal work so I am starting over with my still life drawings.I did these two pastels overnight,

I am not happy with this pear

but I love the green apple on the left. I am actually surprised at my work here.

Used to draw a lot when I was younger, want to start again. Interested in patterns, landscapes, buildings, surrealistic stuff.

If you can muster up at least 15 minutes a day to draw, it’s wonderful. i havent drawn in several days and my art muscle is chiding me for it! >_< time to hit the drawing board- (After cleaning room!!)

Scenes from the Bible. How beautiful. :)

I just started using graphite pencils again. This is not nearly as much fun as all of the pastel work I was doing.I definitely need more practice and to commit to reading the new drawing books I bought.
One of these is a self portrait from a photo,the other is a face I made up, she is supposed to be wearing a hood.

I always say I will but never do…i wanna draw..start a sketch book and just keep on practicing

learn to draw something

I’ve been having these strong urges to express myself artistically. So much has gone on and I want to share it, but sometimes I get ahead of myself when it comes to expressing myself in words. I want people to understand my emotions, without me having to utter a word. I want to touch others.

I used to draw a lot, mostly under instruction, but over the past few years I completely gave up on it. I don’t know if it was because I lost my mentors, lost interest, or lost a part of myself.

My skills leave something to be desired, at this moment in time. I just started to draw again, a few days ago. It’s a bit forced, I will admit. I don’t really know where to begin, I guess. Also, I was never “great,” but I know that I was better than this. I need to work on everything.

I tried starting with the human form. I actually feel extremely comfortable drawing nudes, but I need to work on facial expressions. I lost that ability, almost completely. Yesterday, I decided that maybe I should try inanimate objects, in a cartoon-like form. Not bad. Still, I can be better than this.

I wish that someone or something would inspire me…or, maybe, just guide me.

Hopefully practice will make “perfect.”

I have the drawing/drafting table, I have the designated area, I have the tools, I have the subject matter. What I lack is the motivation. I’ve lacked the motivation for YEARS. Let’s hope time will get itself on my side and eventually give me the opportunity to do something with it…
