Another Hobby Another Love...

For as long as I can remember I have always drawn on everything. Never having any formal training, it has always come naturally and been just for fun. My kids love to sit down and scribble with me in coloring books and finger paint toddler masterpieces. Sometimes if I have half a day I can start and finish a photograph that I've been asked to draw. Though I'm sure when the kids are in school soon I'll be able to find more time for my craft. I wanted to share a few pencil drawings that I've done. The family was done recently and the Staffordshire Terrier was done a few years ago.


In both photos the original photograph is on the top and my drawing is on the bottom.

For some knitting news the Dessert Cloths should be available on Thursday or Friday and I have so much knitting to show you it's ridiculous!

Thank you to everyone who has started the KAL! The more people we have the more fun it will be. It's also keeping me motivated to design more.

  5. Oh my god they are absolutely amazing, the outlines, the shadings, everything. I can copy things pretty easily but not to that standard. Maybe I need to practice my drawings more since I havent really done any since I was a lot younger. I cant wait to see the new dessert cloths too.

    I know the feeling that with kids you have not enough for your own things. As soon as the kids are in school it will become better.

  16. You are an incredible artist. One question, in retrospect, would you have wanted to have formal training? My 15 year old is very talents, loves doing pencil sketches and has received a couple of commissions. My husband wants her to take some art classes to fine tune what she does and also to expand her scope (she has fear of oils, etc.).
