Drawing of a Young Woman by me

My Practice Drawing Of A Woman

This is my practice drawing lesson from the book "Drawing A Likeness" by Douglas R. Graves. I changed the hairstyle and from looking at this I changed much more, too, as it doesn't look like his image, LOL. Still it was fun doing this. :-)

Drawing - I Love Cats Bookmark

Well, today we had a heat wave in our town. It was actually tough to sleep last night. So I did a little drawing and it was calming. This is one of the drawings. I was thinking of just making my little drawings into bookmarks. Here is one I came up with.

Manga Hippie Drawing by me

Today was the "Manga" workshop with Karen Luk (http://www.karenluk.net/) at Racine's (http://www.racinesfortbragg.com/) in town. I had a fun time there learning different techniques. Now I just have to practice them. I also am new to drawing so Karen was kind enough to recommend some good drawing books for me. I was grateful for that. Luckily they had some of those books right at our own Fort Bragg Library. So I am ready now with books and pencil and plenty of paper.

Just wanted to add that Karen did a great job with the kids, too. We made our own two page comic as a group and it was fun. Karen Luk is a very good artist. I kind of felt like a little kid again with all the kids around, but why not do something lighthearted for a change? I am going to look into other fun things to do around town and will write about them when I attend them. Also, Becky from Racine's gave away some nice things to people that attended the event and so did Karen Luk and that was nice of them. Cheshire books gave away certificates at the event, too. Becky from Racine's even gave us discounts on supplies to do our Manga drawings. We are lucky to live in such a nice little town. :-)

Drawing Troll - 1 hour

And here is the troll drawing for 1 hour. This was a fun assignment to do. I will think about trying something like this again. :-)

Today's Cartoon Horse Drawing

I am practicing with cartoon drawing books and this is my cartoon horse drawing from today with pencil and colored pencil. I feel like a little kid doing this, but I do know it is fun, so why not?

Manga practice drawing

Well, I hate to admit this as I am not good at it, but I am trying to learn Manga Drawing. I have a book called "The Monster Book of More Manga" Draw Like the Experts, Edited by Ikari Studio. It really is a helpful book. I am going to see if I can take a little mini class in this at a local store in town. I better sign up soon as I saw a sign in their window saying the class is almost full. Anyway, I am having fun at this and I guess that is what matters most.
