This past Christmas while shopping for my daughter's newest sketchbook I grabbed one for myself. Nothing expensive, just something I could draw into and hopefully watch myself progress along the way.
I finally opened the a week ago after listening to Howard Stern who is an amazing artist who was telling someone that a few years ago he couldn't draw a straight line. Inspired by those words and the thought that I too could eventually learn to draw well started sketching. I told myself that I would do at least 3 sketches a week.
My first sketch:
My second sketch: They are butt ugly but they are mine
My 3rd Sketch:
So while they aren't anything special, they are my firsts so I am sharing them here.
Do not wait, learn a new skill, do something you have always wanted to do. There is hopefully still time. It is never too late to go for it!
They are a HELL of a lot better than I could do! I generally think people can either sing or draw. (This division is probably in my brain because in my school most people could only choose one of the two electives.) I sing. Not super well or anything, but I can carry a tune. I CANNOT draw a face...or anything else! Pictionary is always so embarrassing for me! But your sketches are really good, especially as your first attempts! Keep it up...I look forward to seeing what you're drawing a few months from now!
