[Matt2584]

If you read my Marwell zoo post you would have found out that I took a few pictures, this Leopard in the land of nod being one of them :).

And here is my drawing of that photo.

Now to get it printed onto a greeting card and send it to the lady who organised the trip :).

Wow Matt you are becoming a real speedy Gonzales.

The creation of another wonderful image in just a week ........ Wow wow wow.

Thank you :).

Sometimes my work can take longer, up to quite a few weeks to complete depending on what I am doing or how I am feeling at the time.

I spent about 2 hours last night finishing the drawing. I started the drawing earlier in the week, probably last Sunday or Monday.

Great work Matt...and I am sure the lady who organised the trip will be thrilled at your thoughtfulness too.

That's amazing have you thought about doing draws as a full time career?

[Matt2584 in reply to bexx87]

Thank you :).

I have thought about that but I don't think I would be able to do that (not full time anyway) because I do the drawings in my own time, when I feel up to it.

I have sold some of my work. I've sold/posted some to people on this forum and I have sold some of my drawings to friends.

I even get my art printed onto greeting cards which I have sold too. I recently sold a batch of 10 cards, 3 different images for £30 :).

I usually sell an original piece for £20 which includes a frame if wanted.

£10 for a print including frame if wanted.

Cards will cost £3 each.

I have drawn all my life. 2001-2008 was when I stopped drawing cos of low confidence and motivation. And 2010was when my art started getting much better as I was being tutored. That is when some people were saying I could sell my work but I had to be a bit careful with what I drew and sell because of copyright laws. I later found a website where Photographers upload there drawings that are copyright free and I can draw and sell them :).
