art thread?

Hi folks. I've just bought a box of coloured pencils, and will be working on my first drawing soon. I'll post the completed work here. Would love people to post their art here for us to see. Doesn't matter what type of art - drawing, painting, photos/photo manipulation, cake decorating, quilting, poetry, origami, whatever. Let's have some fun and show our creativity. 🙂

I always do the drawing by hand. In the second image, I scanned the drawing and did the rest of it digitally. In the Dylan one, I did the whole thing the old-fashioned way. The rendering was done with a combination of hand-painted acrylic and airbrushed acrylic, with colored pencil used for details.

Godsandmen can I ask what software you use on the computer for your artwork. My daughter is 14 and very artistic, she has just started to do her drawings in basic paint.  She has no skills in computer software for digitally enhancing the pics.  She draws them freehand and then redraws them in paint.  Is there something better she can use. 

Her 'thing' or niche for now anyway is like the japanese anime.

Godsandmen, how brilliantly talented you are, love your work.

So much skill, and Cat Mioux, well, you don't seem to realise what a special gift you have, don't throw your paintings out ....  :_|

Again, the text has disappeared.  It's a wall hanging I made for a wonderful eBay member who came to visit us, a lovely lady who loves owls ... :-x  It's a mixture of machine embroidery and piecing.

All I can make is a noise.

you guys are fantastic, please keep sharing I love seeing  how talented people are and some times a simple idea can be inspiring - even to me

My guess is you have a talent and skill too Greencat, everybody does, it just all expresses itself differently individually ...  :-x
