This is where I will share some of my drawings and paintings, I would love it if you gave me some feedback (positive or negative).
I always had a notion that it was cheating to draw from photographs, that it was more real if you did drawings from real objects, but then I never really had the patience to really work on my drawings. Now I've tried photos, and I find it excellent for practise - I can take a break and then come back and the motive is the same!
Welcome to EDM, Johanna! You are off to an excellent start. Your lock studies are very good, and I, too, often (but not always) draw from photographs. It's all good!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I use photos, too. You are busy with work and two small children--do what works for you. :)
ReplyDeleteI, like you am rediscovering my artistic abilities after way too many years of neglect! Your sketches are lovely, keep at it, it really is worth it!
ReplyDeleteFantastic opening drawing for your blog. Awesome values, perfect tones, really nice volume and excellent shading. :) A great re-start indeed!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to EDM. This is a very supportive group. I just joined recently. Your rose is wonderful. You have a talent and I am glad that you are now getting to practice it more. Yes, photos are wonderful. I would be lost without them. They are a blessing to artists.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to EDM. This is a great group. I think you drew a wonderful rose. It doesn't matter if it from a real rose or a photograph as long as you are enjoying yourself!
