Great selection of pictures, Marilyn. I hope I get some time this week to draw. I just don't know which one I would like to try first.

i will definately be having a go this week Marilyn, some lovely picture

Hi all,

great variety of pictures Marilyn......I guess I am faster then Ernest this week....

my attempt at the tug boat....a quick graphite sketch I did this morning since we were hit with a snow storm today I had some drawing time.......thanks for the challenge.....I look forward to the drawings this week.

Brian.

Great job on the tugboat Brian! I love it! And Snoopy fits right in as always. (But where is Steamboat Willie? )

I'm looking forward to seeing your drawing, too, Katie, and I hope you will be able to participate too, Cyn. I know it is a busy time of year.

Marilyn

I tried this sketch of the shore birds.

Good work, Trying! You really caught the mood of the cormorants leaning into the wind.

Marilyn

Thank you, Marilyn. I saw the cormorants in this picture as quite pround and confident.

I added a little tone to my previous comorant sketch. It made a huge difference. I also posted a cat sketch. I couldn't resist drawing a cat.

The cat is wonderful, Trying, and I like the way you have improved the cormorant. I tried to get a closer shot of the cormorants by getting closer to them, and they flew away, all but one "proud and confident" bird. You might enjoy those shots too:

Nice drawings trying!


Thanks for your comments Marilyn....I guess I always take things serious when it comes to Cartoons..lol... This one is for you!

This really was not as easy as I thought...the first is in the bin....I used a ink and charcoal combo to try to get the vintage effect...drawing based on Mickey's third appearance ever made......I believe 1928......Steamboat Willie.

Thanks for the all the fish!

Brian, I love your Steamboat Willie. You did an outstanding job! He looks just like the original to me.

Mmgalitz, your cormorants are wonderful too, and the colors are great, capturing that foggy fall day.

Marilyn

Thanks for the photos, marisolcello. I tried to capture the comorants in flight but I'm not really all that happy with this sketch.

Since Im a Navy Vet I had to Draw the Tug... Color Pencil... 1 1/2 hours

This is excellent.

Trying, I love your birds.

And Buffo, your tugboat is wonderful! The colors you chose are great--far better than the original photo. It looks very cheerful.

Marilyn

Thank you, Marilyn.

Brian....I LOVED steamboat willie!!!!!!! That is awesome!

Thanks for the comments guys... everyone has done a great job on this weeks challenge!

It's been a busy week, but I finally found time to do a quick drawing of the porcelain doll.

Thanks Marilyn and I.D. for your comments on Steamboat Willie... I really enjoyed drawing that......

Marilyn that is one fantastic drawing of the doll....not an easy one to do....I tried a quick sketch and it wound up in my bin.... some great drawings this week.....I really like the tug boat Buffo did.

Happy drawings, Brian.

Thanks Brian!
And thanks to all who participated.
Marilyn

I too worked on the birds. Tried a bit of ink pen. Ran out of ink. Switched pens, was delayed etc...
