Art
I used to do a lot of drawing, it is something I truly enjoy with minimal storage for supplies, so I can't figure out why I haven't done it in a while. On Etsy's Alchemy requests (where a buyer posts a "want ad" for custom items, and sellers bid to do the project) I have been selected to do a number of fun art. Here is one I am working on now.
It is an ink drawing of the Empire State building. I drew 2 (yes 2!)... and my dilema is that I prefer the first steeple over the second. I was able put the old steeple onto the new building drawing and it looks way awesome, but I am unable to save it as a whole picture, still trying to work on that. I am of course not an archetect, and my art classes of yore have long passed, so the lines aren't all perfectly aligned with the horizon... but the point is for a good and homey, handrawn appeal. Anyways, here it is for your veiwing pleasure!
Wow those are amazing! You are blessed to be able to draw so well. Thanks for sharing these great drawings with us :o)
ReplyDeleteWell, perfect or not, they look pretty darn great. I used to work in the ESB in an office on the 13th floor. This brings back memories for me. Nice work, you should take out your pens more often!`
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness! I remember doing such line drawings & I can picture you, all full of concentration, doing all these pararel lines! This is so neat!
ReplyDeleteI did the first one without a ruler... but I decided to use it on the second finished piece.
ReplyDeleteI'll tell you what, that will give some good arthritis if one were to do this for a living. I about went crosseyed when I finished!
You did a great job drawing the Empire State Building. WOW!
