Drawing project 2

I have been reading "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain".

One of the activities is to draw things upside down.  The book has this picture upside down.  When you draw things upside down it forces your drain to look at lines instead of parts.

Here's mine.  I took a picture of it on my laptop so it's backwards, but you get the idea.

Artist

I have always wanted to be an artist.  I can scrapbook alright, and color in a coloring book, and my 2nd graders think I'm a great artist (but let's be honest... they thought my 4 legged duck was great...).  I try not to be a jealous person; I try to just be happy for others.  Yet when I see someone who can draw or paint I feel a twinge of jealously start in my stomach...


Well, it's on my list of life goals to learn to paint.  It's on there twice actually.  So when I was at Joanne's with my mom and sister on Saturday and they spotted a painting kit on sale, naturally I had to get it.  And on that same shelf there was a drawing kit as well.  I was nervous to try anything because I know it was going to be so bad...  But after watching lots of YouTube videos I decided to give it my first try...


So I made my first attempt tonight.  It's not amazing (and you shouldn't look at it too long), but I feel like it was good for my first attempt.  Take a (quick) look.

 

 

I drew it from looking at a picture of Jennifer Garner.  ( I feel somewhat less proud of myself when I put the two right next to each other.  Oh well.)
