I can draw a straight line, with a ruler IF my pencil is sharp and I hold my mouth just right.

Thats about all that I can draw.

Wonderful drawings and painting folks! You are all very talented!

You are truly a piece of work. Thanks for the chuckle.

WOWY Little One. That is awesome Your blending is great! Do you use something particular to blend with? I love my blending stumps, but use anything I have available that will work out.

I use the blending stumps for small space I want to shade- such as the mouth, eyes, nose. Mostly, though, I just use plain facial tissue. I hold it kind of wrapped around my pointer finger tip and blend with the contours of the object I'm drawing. Its perfect for a large surface area where you want smooth, even shading. (such as the skin on the Marilyn drawing) Then I would usually use a kneaded eraser to gently dab up the excess shading to put in highlights.

Also, DKRabbitry, that's some great art you shared!!

Thank you all for your nice comments. People think it is funny when I tell them I learned how to draw from tracing I was the kid who would get How-To-Draw books and just trace everything I could from them. I still really need to work from a photo to get it to really turn out right. Never actually got the hand of taking what is in my mind and putting it on paper.

I would simply perish without kneaded eraser! It is a must have for any art bag/box/drawer/etc.

Thanks all. Same here DKRabbitry . I was home schooled so I didn't have any art classes or schooling on drawing (my mom was my teacher and she didn't really draw). What did help me alot with drawing was a book my mother got me in my last year of home schooling. The book is called : How Great Thou ART, by Barry Stebbing. It helped me out alot on shading which I really needed .
