Let out the ARTIST in you!!!!

[Varenne Rodin]

Great going, all! Very splendid art works. Aliengirl, I'm glad you hang out with us too. Your feedback is so encouraging.

[Gilliatt Gurgle]

Ahh, I see Tony's been holding out on us !
Is that recent work?

So, Varenne have you been working on any projects lately?

Thank you for asking, Gilliatt. There have been many obstacles preventing me from working lately. I should have new things to share within the month. I earnestly wish to continue. Not sculpting has become painful.

Can't wait!

Max, I love the glowiness of your picture. Maybe you could make a glowy picture of me sometime.

Being given the material, I can try

Does it have to do with the shoulder?

Can't wait!

Ditto.

The other day my sister ran across the collection of her drawings. My sisters are brilliant when it comes to sketching and drawing.
There she found something; an amateur attempt by me.

Here it is.

Hi Varenne, hope to see some of your work soon.

@ MM - I have a strong suspicion that you're from some other planet. What a wonderful imagination! Many stories can be set with your photo as the background.

@ Snowqueen - It's a very good sketch. I like the way he is hugging the bear, though still holding his gun.

@Tony - Such a nice sketch and you have been keeping this a secret. Come on, share something more with us.

Here's a picture that I took during my holiday last summer in Sicily. It's obviously been modified, if anyone is interested in the original I'd be happy to upload it to.

It's a good one, reminds me of the town where I grew up. Looking forward to more of your photos.

Doesn't seem an amateur attempt at all. It looks pretty detailed to me

AG, thanks for noticing, I’m glad you liked it.

I underestimate myself? Says who?

Thank you Max, it’s so nice of you to say that.

First Tony now Snowqueen steps out with some hidden talent.
A fine sketch indeed Snowqueen. You asked for a “mild” critique, so I’ll pass on some thoughts.
For one, whom I gather draws occasionally for leisure or mental escape, you exhibit a good grasp on basic sketching skills and ability to show correct proportions as seen in the boy and the bear cub. Some areas read a bit flat (two dimensional) such as the right foot, whereas the shadowing and rendered folds of the right arm sleeve and detail of the bear’s paw, show nice detail and three dimensional quality.
Show a little more modeling of the right hand and roundness / thickness of the fingers wrapping around the rifle stock.
Three “f’s” face, fingers and feet, have been a continued source of heartache for me.

Anyhow, a nice sketch overall and I hope you will continue to do and show more. Is that "2009" at the bottom? - I hope that wasn't the last time you sketched.
It is quite rewarding when you’ve turned out something you are proud of.
