Is this a newly acquired talent or am I privy to it for the first time? Anyway, I see Alexis – the perfectionist here too 🙂
Paresh: I have been learning sketching for the past 2-3 months with the help of books. Only now I have a few sketches that are not bad. It is far from perfect. But I am glad that you liked it 😉
Cool! Eyes depicts the feelings.The little one looks sad.Anyway I enjoyed the sketch for a moment.
Really nice… I always wanted to learn pencil sketching, but thought it was very difficult. I think I should give it a try. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thulasy: Yes, you are so right. Drawing the eyes is one of the most difficult part in sketching the face. I still have not mastered it. I think it will take me months of practice to get the expressions right. The sad look is by accident:-)
Maya: Thanks… Yes, you should give it a try. Get some good books on pencil sketching and start sketching. You will be sketching away in no time. My problem is that I only spend about 30-45 minutes a day on this even though I want to spend more time. BTW it is quite addictive 🙂
Dear Alexis,
NAMASTE!
Good Morning!
Good effort and appealing to eyes!
You reminded me my dearest who is an excellent artist.
Friend,a picture can speak volume.So,keep on doing.
Wishing you a beautiful weekend,
Sasneham,
Anu
As always, I find great peace in going through your pages…I like the work… the way you have sketched the two of them together is good as I can see a vague outline or may be none that separates the two…
warm wishes,Mary
Alexis Did not know you could draw so well.Love thee racoons.I see some in the backyard at night sometimes.
Great! I didn’t know you could draw! Very nice pencil sketching…
Anupama: Thanks Anu… I practice for at least 30 minutes a day. Even though I want to do more, I don’t have
Mary: Thanks Mary.
Lalitha: Thanks Lalitha.
Sreejith: Thanks buddy. I don’t… I am just learning. Have been at it for the past few months.
Cloudy eyes.. Are they sad? or happy ? I feel as all doors to their hearts are closed against me .. n I failed to open even one.. Nice sketch !
Sheeba: The get the correct emotion in the eyes in a sketch is very difficult. It happened by accident. I am not reached a level where I can draw the emotion that I want. Still a lot to learn and practice.
