I know there are so many to choose from but I think the best part for me, the challenges,whether or not I participate, I just love seeing so many ppl do the same picture..how each is handled in each medium. I think that is my real favorite part

me too

I think the best thing about Drawspace is the Lady who created it. When I see what goes on at drawspace I think of the generousity and creativity of Brenda. I've never met her in person but I feel I know her, and she is an inspiration to me, not only as an awesome artist but as an example of a human who understands the art of life.

Bobby

Though it's really hard to choose, I think the best thing is all the great people here who give wonderful critique and inspiration.

I have to agree with Bobby. What Brenda offers with her lessons to all of us and the opportunity to take classes with great teachers is amazing to me. What a giving person to enrich so many lifes. I also enjoy reading the forums and especially the critiques of others works really is a learning experience.

I agree with everyone but without all of you out there logging on and loading up DS to share your art or talk about art or even visit the cafe for small talk ...DS would not be what it is today ...techs ...are awsome ...Brenda is unbelievably kind but you guys make this place a home for many . Thank you for that .

I love Drawspace. I love the galleries of folks work. I love the drawing lessons. Most of I love the people. Everyone is so supportive. I am probably my own worst critic and everyone so far has been so kind. It makes me feel like my work is good. I haven't really looked at the challenges yet. In time.

Bunnykat

Bunnykat summed it all up.. a newbie and already has felt the awesome family we have here..

I love the way everyone encourages one another, no matter how much the experience, or lack of. 35 years ago I put my pencil down and didnt pick it back up until last year because I was told art was nothing and it would get me nowhere. A certain craft fair with an artist drawing caught my interest..and brought back the desire to pick up that pencil and learn..so strongly. I began to believe in myself again that I could do it after I found this place by chance and I am so glad I did..Thank you all!

Follow your heart Katdyd,, never let someone or anything take away how it feels when you create something.. It's yours and no one else's.. In all your life you will always find a few that don't appreciate but you will find many many more who do.. If you love what you do it will show..

I love the Challenges! I just Love seeing peoples different takes on a reference.
I also love the general forums; because there is a lot of people to answer certain questions that may boggle you about art

For me the best thing about the drawspace is the feeling that I'm a part of something big. I admire the works of all of you and the fact that I can be a part of a group of such talented and great people makes me feel I'm special too

I love the wild nights of passion. The leather gear. The abandonment of virtues... Ooops! Wrong forum...

I would love to visit that forum .. !!

steve dont ever change

That was too funny ...lol dido what kay says ...dont change .. and I am publicly sorry I took you wrong with your kidding .. you really do add some laughter to this place . thanks

hello friends

best about drawspace...well everything!!!!!! I just love it, I have learnt so many new things, I've made so many friends, what could be better?

what I don't like is that I cannot access to drawspace like I wished

It's been a very bumpy change for me since I arrived in the UK, still trying to ajust to this new kind of life, so diferent to the one I used to have.


Big kiss to all my friends, I miss you all

we miss you too clara, I am glad you are ok and things are working out, you will adjust in time and we hope to see you around soon

hugs to you
Kay

I would have to reiterate all that has been said before. Thanks to Brenda for providing this wonderful learning environment and social network. I participate in several art websites, this is by far, the one I feel at home in. The friends I have made, from all over the world were, and still are, a great comfort to me as I struggle with my "new life" after my husband's death. I feel blessed to be in the company of so many caring and talented people. I look forward to the challenges, they always are, well, a challenge to me. I get to try my skills (or lack thereof) on many different subjects and enjoy the feedback you all so willingly and generously give me. I can't leave out the ATC swaps! They make it so much more personal, getting and sending art to folks around the world. I would really be lost without Drawspace in my life.
Regards to all,
Trish

a hug to you trish, I am so glad you are here and feeling better with time..

I love the people here everyone is so nice. And I love the ATC's I just love getting a work of art from someone all the way across the world. I also love the challenges and seeing what everyone comes up with even though I have yet to participate in one...

The best part of drawspace for me would have to be the drawing lessons, because I searched many web pages for beginning drawing and drawspace is the only one that has truly helped me with it. I want to thank the owner of drawspace for making this webpage, and for giving me the inspiration to continue drawing. Although I am not that great at it, I hope to achieve the success in my drawings as some of these other artist on this page

Thank you again

Laurie

Welcome Laurie. Please have a look around and feel free to join in with any of the weekly challenges, or ATC trades. It's a great way to improve your drawing and make friends!

It's moments like this when you come from the mailbox and the card are here from a trade.It really doesn't which one! This one is bird .They are beautiful tiny ,dainty birds and so far that is all .I do birds to the Best of my ability but just birds must be wrong ,surly the topic was all around birds.Get where I'm going? The last was childhood so guess what we start to get is cartoons.Well I'm lost because if I knew I could do cartoons that would have made my life much easier.I can draw cartoons pretty good because we had that other challenge.I was drawing my childhood so maybe that's why I never hit a duplicate card. I personally love what I've done and I think that the trade people are not grumbling.To me they are the best.They expect no less than what Level I should be up to.So that is my test but it is a kind test.When someone says what they liked ,then I an really happy.I happen to do a skipping card cause what else do you do in rural Manitoba.Well she writes (Kim)I especially liked the lamp.Well I happened to spend a little extra time getting that lamp right!! Well she commented on it.Small for her but big for me.In a couple of years I'll be doing the adult card. You know those perfect butts and boobs!!That would be St Patrick day. .We will be up to 40 cards so thats 80 tits and 80 *****.I really don't talk like that but, oh well.........I really love you all and to think of what Brenda started with that book and I found it.I don't think my husband will ever forgive her Joanna

I love all the dirty talk.

OHoh I guess that word I shouldn't us I an sorry everyone who took over my machine this getting scary joanna

I REALLY love you Steve Which country will our spouses not see us for coffee of course..me

lol..you are funny joanna,

I was actually thinking of another adult trade by the end of august or so..we would be happy to have you join.

Ooh! I'll have to get my 'Gentlemans Interest' magazines out.

Steve you are just one of those guys that get all the girls attention lol with your charming personality and good looks without you here would be like the temp. going down in the room about 20 degrees lol

Kay I am so in the adult trade .

Oh, you mean "Practical Mechanics" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Practical_Mechanics

(I guess it died out because the contents didn't live up to the title )

I'm blushing now! Haven't been called good looking for at least a week!

Ok about 30 years then!

Dave that is funny!..i wish you would let us see you..or at least let ME see you..

Ah, I'm a ginger pussycat.

Actually, I don't post images of myself online (in fact I like to keep behind the camera generally). I'll post a picture as soon as I'm 6 inches taller, 50 pounds lighter, have grown more hair, and look 10 years younger.

Think Homer Simpson rather than Brad Pitt or George Clooney, and you'll have a fair idea what I look like

And they say Women are Vain..? Did I spell that right ?

lol...ok..I bet you are quite handsome

Carol, my hubby is worse than any woman I know..He always looks prettier than me when we go somewhere, he always takes longer to dress,and He primps right up till we walk out the door oh and dont forget the rear view mirror checks on the way and when we arrive

My husband has always been the one with the nicer hair ...but he is so down to earth ..very much like a hippy .
has all the hippy habits still also lol

I used to be 6'4", But I'm taking 12" off for a couple of years for tax purposes.
