I've never really tried to draw before except a couple doodles here and ther and on my notes in school. Recently I got inspired to paint a picture for my friend and have been drawing ever since. I picked up Jack Hamm's "Drawing the Head and Figure" and have been practicing drawing some of my spiritual friends.
I'm not nearly as good as I want to be but practice makes perfect or so they say. I find that creating art has a calming effect on me which in my darkest hours is much needed. I know my pieces aren't what they could be, but I think that for somone who has never really drawn before or even tried to, that they're pretty good. Better than my husband's lol. Bless his heart. All of his figures look exactly the same to me.
I am flabbergasted at all of the beautiful pieces I have been seeing around DA. I would like to encourage everybody to keep it up, even if you get some negative criticism. I like looking at the deviations and knowing that the artist attatched a little piece of their heart, and that makes it extremely beautiful no matter what others say.
And that's my opinion
