My first attempt to draw

[Psalms18_28]

I thought I would reach my "artist" side.

I never really liked to draw because I can be too impatient

here is a picture of my chair.

[HappyChristian]

Wow! That is really good. You need to develop that talent!

[LisaK]

God has given you a great talent! :clapping:

[MilkmanDan]

Wow! That is really good. You need to develop that talent!

No kidding.

The shading and perspective are very good.

Remember to draw what you see and not what you think you see.

Keep at it. :lol

[Psalms18_28]

Thanks. It runs in the family, my mom and my little brother are artists themselves. The sad thing, they never did anything with it.

[LAF]

That is very good

[Ande]

Great job! :thumb

[Psalms18_28]

I will try to draw more later... I was thinking of drawing our dog He has such a cute face.

but right now, i am trying to learn Calligraphy.

[anime4christ]

That's really good. Looks better than the furniture I draw. I mostly draw people's faces.

what are you planning for your talent? Any goals, or is this just fun? (I life fun).

kinda just wondering

[Psalms18_28]

I really don't know... I don't really have the passion for drawing to tell you the truth... that's why I went so many years NOT drawing.

But I did it for fun... but it is not something I could do everyday. I thought of practicing more because I am a stay at home mom and I am getting too bored and I might be able to draw for a living if I am able to do so.

But first I need to find out why I keep getting sharp pains in my hands whenever I do writing drawing typing (a problem I had for a long time, but recently starting paying attention to it...I always brush it off as tired hands). I think it came from all these years of taking notes in school. My school have always assigned me to teachers who writes notes on the board so for 6-7 years, I would fill up my whole notebook with notes, class after class.

could be carpel tunnel syndrome, could be a nerve problem, could be mental.

You can draw in many ways, training yourself to draw downward, other hand, different fingers, you don't have to let a problem stop you.

If you wanna make income by drawing, let me know. I make good supplemental income with cartoons, studied many books, and do a great job of getting checks in the mail. I can give you some tips and hints if you want.

I let the cartoons pay for a drafting table. I wanted one, but i didn't wanna spend anything for it, so once the books told me I made enough profit to pay for one, I bought one, and I can pump out drawing after drawing with no writting cramps, and in a fraction of the time, with this nice tool. Everything I need is right there, and the angle of the table lines up with the movements of my arm, and even the lighting makes for easy drawing.

Sold a couple more, and I now have a rack full of artist pens, from .005 mm up too 3mm and only use fine grain hard board paper that creates no bleed.

The point is, if you wanna start out hobby moving toward income, I did it and can give you advice in how too, without spending money, but letting the drawings buy you what you need. I started out under 100 bucks, with typing paper, sharpies for inking, $5.00 worth of pens, and the rest spent on envelopes and stamps to submit my work.

Now I'm international, spend about 1 hour a week drafting, have someone else dealing with my accounts, and just cash the checks.

All work requires work though, I still need to find an hour every week to do it in, and keep track of things.

[Psalms18_28]

Thanks for tips, I will keep that in mind :thumb

about my hand, it could be mental.. or writer's cramps..

The pain mostly on the side of my hand below the pinky area , but no where else.

great talent, it could be very useful in a chalk art ministry
