Well, it’s pretty clear I’m not going to get all 30 days done in my drawing self-challenge, but I’m cool with that. I accomplished what I wanted, which was to confront and beat back my fear of drawing. I’ve rekindled an old love affair with pencils, gum erasers and big, blank, pieces of paper. I got comfortable with a technique that’s faster and edgier than my careful and meticulous high school-age sketches. The end result is much more than I ever expected. So, Success!

Dear Sandy, congratulations on that rendering of a person sitting looking away from you. Your drawing conveyed the muscles in his back as well as the swirl of his hair. That’s good drawing! Peace.

I think you have done a brilliant job, my friend! Congrats on the “not quite”–cause we’re all human after all.
Hugs,
Kathy

This means a lot coming from such an accomplished artist. My head is swelling…
