I Needed a Hand With This

Anyways…. I tried. To draw this, I copied a picture from one of my books. No, it wasn’t one of those step-by-step instructions, but still this isn’t entirely original. Oftentimes I find myself picking up drawing books and imagining myself creating artwork just like the author’s. That, never happens. But, I’ve realized that’s alright. As my art teacher says, personal style is the most important aspect of being an artist. So, books are helpful, but shouldn’t necessarily be used as a model for style.

Also, here's another recent drawing. 

Trying Something New

I recently sat down to draw, thinking I wanted to create something different and imaginative involving tree roots. Well, here's the product of that. With all the abnormal features, it may appear to have some sort of meaning. I must say, that I intended none, so you may interpret it any way you like.

A Traditionalist Breaks Tradition

I’ve always thought blogs were meant for writing. Author’s blogs, mommy blogs, craft blogs, they all involved some sort of writing. And, not being a writer, I never considered starting one. But, recently, I have visited several artist’s blogs  and my opinion has changed. When friends began telling me I should start posting my artwork online, I finally gave in. So, here it is, the blog of a traditionalist artist. Yes, I will write a little about each piece, but  my main focus is the art. 

To begin, here’s one of my recent works: Laura Timmins from the BBC show Lark Rise to Candleford.
