Its the start of a new year and time to review what you've done and how you've grown over the last year.

This thread is a chance to show your best drawing of 2007.

I guess mine would be The Artist's Cat which won Best of Show in an exhibition.

This is about like asking which one of your kids you like the most. I'm not sure why but I think I like this one the best. I think his name is Ali.

Although I am not in the same catagory as Burb and Jeanette, (both did incredible drawings), I think I like this one best..

Wow Miss Jeanette....I can see why your sketch was a winner......I think it's one of the most beautiful drawings I have ever seen.

I still consider myself a beginner.... especially to you and BRB and I usually hate my own drawings....lol... but I kind of like this one because I have been experimenting with different mediums that are very new to me.

Cyn....I love all those clowns you did......they are amazing....I wonder who started all that....lol...

Wow. Those all are amazing.

Like Brian David, I consider myself a beginner too, but I think the second painting I did of a piano is my best.

All of my drawings posted here were done in 2007; it's really hard to pick just one.

Although there are some I think are technically flashier, I think this is my personal favorite:

Beautiful work from everyone, you should all be proud of what you have done and how far you've come in the last year.

Drawing is all about practice and the more you draw and go outside your comfort zones in terms of subjects, techniques and mediums, the better your drawings become.

Not a drawing but one of my better paintings, done winter of 2007
11x14 canvas at my wifes request.

Beautifully soft - makes you want to stroke the cat, Jeanette

BRB, that is full of character - just love it.

Wonderful Clown Cyn, he could have just walked off the sawdust of the centre ring - its terrific.

Great parrot Brian, not what I would have expected you to choose, not even a tweety pie lurking in the background

PPW, just love the subtle reflected light in your keyboard, excellent!

This is wonderful Ernest - just have to decide if its a wedding, Deb, or Prom.........mmmmm............

Airscapes, I am going to have to nickname you the Black Knight! Your darks are terrific!

Well there is no prize in guessing that I am proud of my tiger - the title is 'Predator' and it is about 20" x 6" pastel on colourfix - I had to hunt long and hard for tigers with enough eye detail and he is the product of a couple of pics combined in my head:

[attachmentid=8409]

My first portrait that I was really pleased with.

'Tis me mum and da, at her junior prom, fifty years ago (give or take!)

I think this is what i liked most the past year. Hard to pick a work from a few that i like.

These are all fantastic. I feel a little down because I like to draw mainly cartoon images. It's hard to picke just one but I think it would have to be this; probably because of the Asian element.

so much excellence here... Great art work for 2007

My choice is a drawing I did of Armin Mersmann... I admire this artist so much.. he is one of the best.


Dors

Great work everyone!!!

I guess the work I'm most proud of this year has to be this portrait of my brother, Trev

I can't decide between this...[attachmentid=8418]

Or this...[attachmentid=8419]

My best one was my study of hands and feet:

Nair

I would have to say that my best one that I did in 2007 would be my Rose.

I pick the pears because it was my first colored pencil class with Jeanette. I have been going crazy with colored pencils ever since. Thanks Jeanette. Your kitty is just stunning. And thanks to all of you wonderful artists and friends who encourage me. Your best of 2007 is inspiring.

Judyvan

Everything here is so great. Beautiful work..

xicpanad, I love your pic.. I can hardly wait until you start your album so we can see more of your stuff..

"Waiting at the Station" was my favorite because of the pleasure I had drawing it. Have a look at the WIP for details.

The Old Cowboy. Was fun to draw

Well since I just started drawing again and taking a break from the computer crap I think this is my best for 07.





Wow, that is pretty incredible!!!!! How long did it take you?





Good job!!




Wow, now that is pretty amazing. Is it airbrushed or painted?



GReat job!!




Wow, you did a very good job - very realistic!


For 3d modeling this year, I think this one of the Zippo lighter I made would have to be the best.




Thats cute!

Incredible drawings!!

As I only drew one picture in 2007 it was easy to pick a favorite or my best work!
Here is my first attempt at drawing a dog. Correction, 2nd attempt. I drew my avatar image in 2006.

[attachmentid=8447]

I hope to draw more in 2008.

Great eyes

2 years learning all weekend, many dificults but i love

2 anos estudando através de livros e tentativas, pensei que não conseguiria fazer este desenho mas quando percebi, estava olhando para cada pedaço entre as rugas individualmente e afastava o desenho para ver o todo. Fiquei mesmo encantada. Próximo passo: melhorar os blacks e...um homem com barba.

Obrigada a todos que comentaram meus trbalhos. Tem sido encorajador.

Thanks
