The thread about expensive pencils got me thinking... It's been a couple years since I drew or painted anything, but there was a time, that was probably my most expensive hobby. I was never great at it, but I always enjoyed it.
Curious how much artistic talent we have on the site... Let's see your work. ... here's a few of mine. Attached File Attached File Attached File ETA: @FaucetFace |

Very nice work!
I can draw, I just don't. This is the only thing I have scanned, drawn sometime in the '90s. Lousy resolution but you "get the picture". Attached File |

I’ve always enjoyed it, and wanted to be able to. But I just never could get past a 3rd grade skill level.

I've been drawing since I was two years old (63 years ago).
Even took AP Art in high school, through a program administered by Princeton University. Majored in Fine Arts in college. Minored in Transexual Dance Therapy. Actually double-minored in English/Creative Writing and in Speech Communication, which proved a lot more useful. Managed to build a career as an Art Director/Creative Director/Writer/Photographer/Illustrator, and buy a $650,000 home and put two boys through college. "Hey fucker, let's see your work." I don't have digitized or scanned examples of any of my drawings, prints, or sculptures. I only have commercial/business/technical/engineering shit that would not be of any interest. It's also business-confidential. I more or less stopped being a fine artist when I became a commercial artist. Before that, my exhibition history was: Colorado Springs Student Exhibit Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, Spring 1973 Colorado Springs Student Exhibit Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, Spring 1974 Santa Reparata Studio Exhibition Palazzo Strozzi, Florence, Italy, Mar. 26-Apr. 01, 1977 Drake University Print Symposium Harmon Fine Arts Building, Des Moines, Apr. 13-15, 1977 Sixth Annual Drake University Student Show Carl C.

Draw? I can't even trace... It's something my daughter is very talented at, and it's a gift I wish I had but try as I might over the years I just don't have it

I used to draw constantly when I was in high school but these days I churn out maybe 1 sketch a year. One of these days I will get back into the habit of drawing.

I draw well, but not quite as well as OP. Also, no idea how to post pics, so you'll have to take my word lol.

NO, I draw like a Parkinson patient drawing with his off foot. Not an artistic organ or bone in my body.

Quoted: One summer my mom took me one day a week to a class on drawing buildings. I was terrible, sad as I really loved to draw and stunk even with classes. My 8 year old son draws better than I can View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: I've always enjoyed it, and wanted to be able to.

I could never draw gradients... I could catch the shadows, just not blend then. So I just went with black and white... I've been told mine were "cartoonish". Found a few more...
