it’s excellent, well done. Hope you enjoyed drawing as much as you do photography, the passion for both shines thru. Take care 🦊x
I find drawing extremely hard and frustrating I won't be doing many more.. But thanks so much 😍
You have real talent Blackbird, don't give up
But you obviously draw what you see so I’m surprised you find it frustrating lol. Take care 🦊x
That's excellent x
I feel humbled thanks Pat 🥰
You certainly are an artist x
it seems you have many talents! 😎
I wouldn't say I'm talented 🙈
I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree on that one ☺️
Wow! That’s amazing. You’re very talented, well done. Xx 😍🥰😘🤩
Thanks Carol I tried it but not enjoying it I just found it frustrating I think it was the sitting still that got me ... When i tried to get up my legs 😂😂😂
Oh yes, l can sympathise Bb9. I have to move often or my poor knees…….ouch! You did very well though l think. Xxxx🩷
Thankyou and my knees and hips have sympathy with yours 😂
👍🤣xxx
Wow how amazing, you must have a lot of patience for the fine details. Excellent drawing ✍️ Bb9❤️
Thankyou ❤️ but I have no patience at all I was determined to finish it after ripping up so many attempts won't be doing much more 😅
That really is very good Bb, even though you don't think so. However, if you don't really enjoy it - you find it frustrating and your joints ache with sitting still, then don't feel you have to. Just because you can, it doesn't matter, do what you're comfortable with and what makes you happy. We love to see your photos of the beautiful area around you ❤️ and are grateful that you share them 😊💕
Take care.
Jackie and Jasperry xx🐶🐾
Hi 👋 you forgot my total lack of patience 😂 ...Thankyou Jackie and Jaspberry... much love to you both ❤️
That's beautiful. Are you sure you're not an artist. xxx
Absolutely a big no 😂
Wow, that’s excellent. You certainly have an artistic talent in both drawing and photography.
Photography is a joy and I love learning from it ...But drawing is not my forte sadly I didn't much enjoy it 🙈
I think that is really good, well done Blackbird
Thanks so much but definitely not a hobby for me 🥰
That’s very good indeed, Bb. You clearly have an eye for detail but it must have taken you ages! No wonder you were stiff afterwards! I like doing photorealistic drawings too, of animals in my case. I think the fact that we’re willing to put pencil to paper and create an image makes us artists. Besides, your artistry also shines through in your beautiful photographs x
I doff my hat to anyone who can create drawings and paintings...I just was to frustrated by the whole thing patience is something I need to learn 😂😂😂
looks pretty damn good to me. Don’t put yourself down.
I'm afraid I'm my worst critic ... I'm the same using my camera I'm not really pleased with my effort..it's just how I am ... I'm fairly confident with lots of things in life but I know sometimes I can be hard on myself 😂
Please don’t give up. You’ve tackled a complicated drawing and done it justice. Have a break and find something less challenging. Best wishes to you both.,
My love is my camera I just thought I would try drawing for a bit of fun ...then I realised it wasn't fun 😂😂😂
Looking good BB but I think with all hobbies we have to enjoy it. Did you do this at a class. Many years ago I used to enjoy drawing and painting but wasn't very good at it and haven't done anything for years, don't seem to have the urge anymore think there is too much to do I the home x
I didn't enjoy it although I finished it ...no classes or anything it won't be something I will do a lot 🙈
That's very impressive 👏. Got such a lot of detail in it as well. Brian
I think I'm quigte particular and made it a point to put lines and details on there probably that's why it was frustrating 😕
Hi that's a great job,I went into the house last year and you have captured the house great
I live in the enclosure behind the house 🏠 😍
Oh wow lucky lady
Is this really your first go?! Very well done indeed. It can be such a relaxing hobby and wonderful as it's completely absorbing. Have just started U3A Beginners' Drawing class on zoom and am learning so much. You must continue - you have a real gift. xx
It's my first go at the Palace drawing I tried and ripped up many before just pulling myself together 😂
I get quite frustrated with drawings which are much less detailed and time-consuming than yours! Sometimes, it does help to do a bit, leave it a while and go back when I'm in the mood. Then of course, you can't really stay for many hours in front of the Palace! Or maybe just aim at drawing a section of such a large drawing rather than the whole thing? But this is really impressive. We use 2B pencils for everything plus drawing pens if we wish. But please don't stop drawing; you're very gifted! xx🌷🌷
You've got an excellent eye for detail which may have caused some of your frustration. I find it helpful to draw a feint grid on the paper and also do the same to a photocopy of what I'm drawing. The lines can be easily erased at the end as long as they're done lightly with a soft pencil. It helps me to get all the important bits in the right location.
Someone at my art group does a lot of 'full frontals' like yours. She sells a lot of her work. She's not afraid of straight lines and uses a ruler a lot. She enhances the pics using a black marker. They are incredibly effective and yours reminds me of the work she does.
Please don't give up. It's a really good drawing and you will learn a bit more with every new attempt.
A favourite saying in our group is, 'It's only a bit of paper!' 🤣
Xx Moy
Ahhh thankyou Moy it's good to have advice but unfortunately the frustration is a part of me I don't like 😂😂 It's only paper ...I said far worse and didn't get anywhere 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 xx Moy
That’s so good. Maybe you could try something a bit simpler next time…….. 🤣🤣🤣. Nothing like going in at the deep end.
Yeh but that's me deep end ...dive right in and get zero satisfaction knowing I could possibly be creating a monster in myself...not quite Frankenstein but close 😂😂😂
Well that certainly was a stiff task. Had u ever drawn before? Whatever made you attempt it? But well achieved and I do like the brickwork!
I have drawn but not for years ... I found my pencils and bits in the attic and just thought let's try it ....we tried and didn't enjoy much at all 🙈
It’s a shame you didnt enjoy it. I find it very relaxing and rewarding at the end. You should be really pleased with what you’ve produced.
That's amazing 👏
Well done @Blackbird9 I think it looks really, satisfyingly great. I’ve tried drawing a country stone wall with pencils before and can see how painstaking you’ve had to be with this. Well done.
That's an amazing word to describe it.. Painstakingly...Never again 😂
For you're first attempt with pencils and sounds like many attempts I can definitely assure you that picture is exceptional looks great I'm pleased you have shared with us
Many thanks appreciated but not for me sadly 😔
wow !! That is amazing Blackbird, you definitely have a talent. Thanku for sharing. 😍 xx
🩷🧡💛💚💙
looks good to me BB9, very good in fact . Not easy to produce drawings I think thats a brilliant attempt . Its always something to do when you can't get out.
Oh gosh I couldn't bear not getting out the thought makes me cringe 😬....Thanks though Kate 😍
Well done, you’ve done a remarkable drawing. Considering this is your first piece of work , you are really good.
Take care
Wendy xx
I drew a long time ago and was never any good then still not great now 😂😂
That's really good BB! I can imagine you not enjoying being still for so long, photography is a bit quicker 😘 xx
I don't mind being patient in photography due to the fact I know it dosent take as long ... but that's me I can't sit still for long periods I get frustrated 🙃
Hello Blackbird, Well done and so accurate. Can imagine how painstaking this was for you. 🤗
Thankyou yes it was a chore if I'm honest 🙈
This is wonderful. Thank you for sharing. I am very bad at any type of artwork so very much enjoyed. Excellent. xx
Thankyou ❤️
Really good eye you have for detail and the patience to hone it! I drew and painted years ago, just was never happy with the results. I can empathize with your hips and knees being still for extended periods of time. When I've sat too long, I get up and walk like a 2 year old with a present in her diaper!😊
That's made me laugh I take on the exact same walk ... its very crippling some days...It's rare when I am happy with anything I do pictures drawing ☺️
Wow! Surely you mean you weren’t an artist until you drew that. It’s brilliant. Clever girl. Xx
Ahhh thankyou that's kind of you 💜
Now why would you give drawing up, this is excellent for a first attempt! You have a talent that many would kill for...patience is a virtue they say...
