Great drawings, everyone!


[attachmentid=10401]

I haven't been to this thread in a while, but let me say, you guys have been busy

John that pipe is really a beauty, and the chair is allso nice.

Hellen, your bus is just great!!Like Mr. Offir said , it looks like it was unfinished on purpose!

Mr. Offir your sleeping dog is great, as always.

Ernest, looks like the only one who noticed you where drawing was the dog and the drawing on Zachary is amazing, it doesn't seem just a skech. well done

Paulette, so nice that the boys posed for you, there figures came out very nice, its very hard to draw people in life


Elena, you did great on those pastels. I love those compositions.

Audrius, that's nicely drawn, but what is it? it looks like a frog, done with folded paper, forgive me if i am wrong.

the frog it's actually origami, Clara.

Yes, it's an origami frog. I have done about 100 of them.... I still want to make 1 000 frogs like this.

My daughter makes those -- great drawing!

Wow everyone here is doing such great work .. I always liked to look through this thread ...keep up the good work .

thanks Elena and Audrius for explaining. I've checked out what origami is on the internet, and it's really amazing what you can do with paper.

My cousin and his bass:

you captured him in a very interesting position

i think your style is special and quite unique .. i love it, but aren't the lines a bit darker on paper? something makes me feel that the scanned drawing isn't half as good as the original drawing ... and that can only be because of the compression and other scanner settings

That's great Mr. Ofir.

John, here's my hand finaly

5 minutes with HB2 on printer paper

good job...are you wearing several rings? It looks like there are bands around several knuckles
Also, that 'bar' in your pictures .."Bar" is in English. Are you or your husband American? "Bar" is an American word.

John

Here's my hand. Unusual pose, and yes it tried to cramp a little...
15 minutes.

Hi John,

No I am not wearing any rings, those are supposed to be my hand lines, I guess I pushed them to far...
About the word BAR, well in Portugal that word along with many other English words are commonly used, anyway the folks who built this bar where Portuguese but lived in Canada for some years, they opened the bar for their son to run it, He's name was Nilton, therefore the bar's name. Some years later the boy died with diabetes he was only 22 years old, after that he's parents decided to rent the place, and nobody ever changed the name of the bar.

My husband and I are both Portuguese but I was born in South Africa and lived there till I was 10.



Melinda, nice hand

Thanks Hellen I guess I should check my scanner settings but I think my drawings don't suffer too much lose compared to what pencil and colored pencil drawings lose. My drawings look better in paper but not that better.

Great hand Clara and yours too Melinda, I like the unusual pose. I suck at hands I need more practice.

Nice sketches Audrius

Thanks again, Clara

Great work !! That street scene with the car would have been difficult with the persective.

Had to wait at the airport yesterday fro my sister's delayed flight - found somewhere to park for free (wow is that hard these days!!) and sketched a littles garden bed with a boardwalk through it.

I did this instead of cutting my toenails:

Sue that's nice

Mr Ofir, nice scissors.

I was in a coffee bar with nothing to do, so I took a pen and some napkens and skeched my hand.

Nice scissors Mr Ofir - hope that doesn't mean its off to the podiatrist!


Its those hands - they are following me ! They are still good Clara.

I stopped on the way home from my patient on sunday and sketched at a local wetlands, not very good at the water in watercolour yet and the water looks like it is sliding off the right side too. But its nice to destress by sketching anyway.

Great thread.. I love the drawings..

Mr Ofir, I love the way your scissors are arranged to look like a person. Very clever.

This is a quick sketch done for a pipe smokers forum; graphite: B, 4B

nice pipe John

I got kind of sick of trying to create a masterpiece...
Recently I have been drawing using grids, have been tracing and so on. And I think I'm tired of all this. I have even forgotten how much fun drawing should be... I always tried to draw without any mistakes. And I think I have had enough. Back to basics. I started to draw without any shortcuts, without beating myself for mistakes, without an eraser...

Here are some sketches I have done. I even used a ballpoint pen to avoid giving up and picking my eraser. And I tried to look and think more than draw. Just now I started to draw what I see. Not what I think I see....

So far so good, Audrius. Try again the mug and saucer for practicing the ellipse. There you might have to work more. The rest of the objects are just fine.

Thanks for advice, Elena. I will try to do my best!

here is a life sketch of my husband- 10 minutes pose.He moved a lot while writing at his book and i am not that satisfied with the likeness but happy with the sketch in general mostly because i used NO eraser.

Of course you should be happy Elena that's a great sketch. I'm wondering if you're not being too hard on yourself on the likeness, it can be difficult to be satisfied with the likeness on portraits of the people you're close with.

I drew an elephant figurine from different angles:

Gracias Mr. Ofir, a mi marido le gusto asi que estoy tranquila con el cliente. Es que yo soy muy exigente y quiero ser perfecta.Greetings from The land of pharaos, Egypt.

Nice job, but i am a beginner, so i want you to advice me if you find any mistakes in my paint,
i draw it in 11 minutes...

Elena, that is very good for a live 10 minute drawing and when the subject moves even more dificult, so yes you should be proud

Mr, Offir, cute elephants

Black widow...wow 11 minutes?? that's great! keep it up

thanx clara

Here's a couple, OK, three, of mine to push this thread along. I did these while waiting for a call back from a software vendors tech support.

The top one is done in ink as that was all that I had at the time. I quickly found out that I need to erase and ball point pen is out as a medium for me at this point in time. I went and found a pencil for the bottom two drawings and I think they look more visually appealing. I had fun drawing them and it helped to pass the time.

Enjoy,
HayTay

I forgot about this one. I got this nectarine to pose for me, before I ate it, so that I could try out my new, and first ever, sketch pad. This is drawn with a #2 pencil on a Canson sketch pad during my lunch hour.

I hope y'all find it as tasty,
HayTay

Great sketches here, so to make up for a sketch from a beginner....

It took me 20 minutes..quite much but still have some troubles with proportions...

A very good job of "seeing"! Show us more!

Nice!

I haven't been in for a while and there are some great things happening. And you are all braver than me - can't live without my rubber (oh sorry - for all those laughing that's what we call erasers here in Oz - we call the things you are all thinking of something else entirely ) As for going lead free I am not up to that yet - I may ink , but I need my pencil first.

I was at an appointment today and did this cute little lady in a funny little pink knitted cap with a turned brim. The odd thing was she seemed to have no lower lip (made me think of Frank Burns from M.A.S.H. ) About 10 mins on it then started a new one under her when I was called for my xray.

Sue, very funny, nice to see someone else calling it a rubber besides me.....I already got used to the name "eraser", but back in South Africa we called it a rubber too! nice sketch

Thanks Ernest and Kaly for your motivation....
