I'm in the process of learning to draw. It's such an amazing process, on so many levels. I haven't drawing in over a year but think about it often. Here's one of my final sketches from a class I had.
Clearly, some parts aren't finished.

I really really really enjoyed the drawing, and I was very impressed. WD

These are some old drawings. The first one is actually copied from a book cover (How to Draw Portraits?) and the second one is sort of a self-portrait, though the mouth doesn't look like me at all.

Very good drawings, pinkmoon and Annamariah! I am impressed.![]()
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.

Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty
~Albert Einstein
when i was in secondary school(think 5th year) we went to The National Gallery of Ireland to sketch Icon. Our task was to select an Icon, draw it, that as a class project abstract it.
So i chose this one. Was the only one who did and used colour pencils to sketch it.
and abstracted to look like this. (sorry never completed. was supposed to try cool colours on the other side. so technically this was the second last stage of the project.)

Niamh
nice to see more of your drawings![]()

Those are ALL lovely drawings and sketches. I wish I could draw like that! My drawings hardly ever have "meaning" or anything like that.
Why don't you finish it, Niamh? Cool colors on the other side sound like a brilliant idea.
Annamariah and pinkmoon, those portraits are AMAZING. They do look real! Fantastic job!
Mine:
"DEVO Tribute" Self-explanitory.
"Ed Wood" He was a transvestite, so I drew him in his man clothes and then in his Angora sweater, etc. No, he was not a fruit.
"Business man Mutant" I thought of this today. I was relaxing in my room when I thought, "Business man+mutant=BUSINESS MAN MUTANT. I must draw that!" Complete with tentacles!
"Trouble At Versailles" This is sort of an old one...a couple months...

Lovely drawings, Niamh! You should complete the other side too and by the way, I have loved the light colours in the first one.
Lily, nice drawings, I have especially liked your first one! It looks neat.![]()
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
thanks pensive and lily. it was about eight years ago when i did that. too late to finish now.
Lily i really like those sketchs. What a creative mind you have!
heres some more of mine. i did my art project of my junior cert on the abbey theatre so heres a couple of things from it.
this is a poster for the Playboy of the Western World which includes the original cast names and ticket prices.
This is my version of the cover of Murder at the Abbey Theatre by Hogan and Douglas. Mine is slightly different as i mimiced their characatures and create some of my own. Most of who i added had no association with the abbey, Wilde was dead before it was opened. but here it is any way!
