Sketches and scribbles

ARGH! Don't you just hate it when you have the image in your mind of what your drawing will look like, then as soon as you put pencil to paper it just goes horribly wrong!!

I thought I'd try my hand at drawing my, frankly beautiful, Boyface, and he came out looking like a rather lopsided transvestite. And not a convincing transvestite (you know, the ones that it's only on the second take that you realise, "Hey, wait a minute that girl's a BOY!") but the kind towering above everyone with a deep voice and a 5 o'clock shadow...
 To allow you to appreciate the awfulness of this drawing, I felt I should post it- as this blog should be as much about the journey as anything.

In all fairness this was my first attempt at "proper" drawing, as opposed to cartoon types, for a very very long time. But still...

I may have to keep on practicing. And maybe not attempt to work from memory next time!!

I did doodle a couple of other pics I was a bit happier with late last night while half watching the TV, so I'll share those as well for good measure..


Fare thee well for now! xx

  1. Oh gosh. this is actually not uncommon. The prettier something is - the harder it is to draw. It is a directly dependent trend.
