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. 🙂

Fleur ... faces are really difficult, aren't they?  

And hair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think you did a really good job on the proportions 🙂

[tasfleur]

Noooooooo!!!!  The hair ended up looking like a shaved banshee ....  :_|   It's just awful, and in the panic of it all, I forgot the ears ...  :_|:_|

I'm not drawing any more faces ...  ;\

However, I did go out and get some acrylic paints and some brushes today, so it might get worse ...  ]:)

Moonlight, no I tried to post the one on my computer in a different post.  

It might be because I'm using Google Chrome??? 

I can't see why Chrome would cause this. What steps did you take to post the pic?

It's not a masterpiece, but it's a respectable first attempt. Probably most first attempts would look similar. There are faces everywhere, and you have all the time in the world to practice.  Maybe draw easier things first, then come back to faces later on. There is no pressure to become good at drawing faces overnight. 🙂

Moonlight, I posted the pic twice from PB (successfully).  Then I used Save As to save it to my computer.  Then I used Reply, post image from My Computer, located the name that I had saved the photo as, selected it, and hit Add.  Then, I got the response that the photo could not be posted.  

As it seems that other people can do the same procedure successfully, I thought that the problem might be with GC ???
