Wow! Your so good!! I am also hugely into art and drawing but I am not as good as you! The one of the best pictures I have done was a pencil drawing of Taylor Swift... in the pic below (the paper got a bit crumpled). You must get so many complements! You can also see my Cyclops mask I made for school on this link -

It looks great Shell! I can't believe you use normal colouring pencils and get the shading that you do

thanks everyone i plan on drawing jamie scott (who in my opinion is the cutest fictional kid charecter on tv!!) at some point this week. think im going to use graphite pencils for that one though

all your comments mean soooo much, so a massive thank you and i will upload more soon xxx

sooooooooo an evening without drawing doesn't really happen in my world lol!!!

this evening i have spent time laying down the basic lines for 2 new drawings. this is the part i find the most tedious! i stress over it way too much and could rip my hair out and points but once i am relatively happy with them, then the real fun can begin. the shading... i love love love LOVE that part

both this drawing i intend to do with graphite pencils. so i am stepping away from my trusty colours (momentarily!) and seeing the world in shades of grey. whether this will be a success is yet to be seen as i haven't done a serious graphite drawing in years but both this drawings cried out to be in grey

so first up is a sneak peak of jamie scott (OTH again!)



and then i finished off the basic lines for this johnny depp drawing that i have started and re-started more than i care to admit *blush*



the key is to draw a little larger than you intend as i basicly erase these lines as i go along each area of the drawing

and there you have it... the next 2 projects i have to keep me busy xxx

Yayyyyyy Johnny!

And how are Princess Snowy and Duchess (first thing I could think of) Fudge?

[suga]

The colour drawings are fab. What do you do with them when you have finished?

i have a port folio, so they basically go in an a3 folder i work on some pieces to have around the home but yeah, that's where they go xxx
