MY SKETCHES



I have always wanted to pursue the arts more than I have. Every one knows I've been struggling with this guitar thing for several years now, and actually, my critics seem to think I've progressed quite well!
So now I thought I'd pursue some real art.
I had discussed painting with an artist friend of mine, and the first question he asked was, "Can you draw?". I wasn't sure how to answer that.
All this music and art stuff is rather relative to your audience.
So Jen got me a sketch book and some pencils, and dug out some old "Learn to Draw" books she had stashed back somewhere.
Below is my first attempt at sketching. I had a picture to go by in the book, so it's not really original, except I DID draw it, and of course it's not identical to the example in the book.

After this rather long-winded introduction, I'll let you be my critics! Let me know what ya think!
If the reviews aren't too harsh, I'll try to do more and post them as well!





Here's an attempt at computer graphics I did probably a year ago. I call it Mexywoods! I was learning to use a paint program, and this is what I came up with. I guess it's not bad for a first attempt. I saw some art on the web recently that was for sale, and I didn't think it was much different than this!

I finally did a painting! Considering it is my first, and painted on a piece of cardboard instead of canvas, I'm quite proud of it! It was just a trial run, trying to learn to use the brushes, and such. Whatcha think??
