It took me about 10 months to become half decent at drawing.
I could always draw ok but hadnt done it for over a decade, i decided to give it another go in 2014. I watched a lot of videos on youtube of people drawing to give me an idea of where to start and what to do. I bought some cheap pencils and paper and went for it.
Its a very enjoyable thing to do as you are creating and learning as you go along, i would recommend giving it a go if you think you have an interest.

I need to do it more often though, i am out of practice.
Thank you.
Its a great distraction, it helps with anxiety and lots of other issues.
I am glad you enjoy it.
You did a fantastic job with your drawings. Love how they turned out. Keep it up!😀👍🌈
Why dont you try it? 
I will have to think about it.
Why do you have to think about it?
Visually speaking, it may take a while to do it if I can.
Ok, if you need help dont be afraid to ask.
I was always good at art since a very young age but it took a back seat to sports etc most of my life. Im now swaying back towards more art, i have arthritis in a few places. Ill have something to focus on if someday im stuck in a chair and cant walk.
Well u certainly have a gift 😊
I am not artistic but I do have a sort of yearning, but I know that I’d not accomplish and I don’t think I can devote enough time to make a difference
I’m glad you developed the talent you have 😊
Thank you 
That looks fantastic and what you learned in a year to improve is so amazing. As you know, I'm just starting out but it's a wonderful thing to get involved in. I think everyone should give it a go. xx
Thank you.
Drawing looks excellent. You can defiantly see your progression especially the eyes and shading. I do a bit of sketching for paintings but nothing as detailed as yours. Look forward to seeing more.
It's a lovely and absorbing hobby and doesn't cost the earth to try, so enjoy it to the max Thehandyman! 🙏
I will.
Thank you 😊
Wow thats certainly progress great work I like drawing but I prefer crafting so I got myself a white pad and some graded pencils( pound shop Btw) and have started to doodle in the evening,mostly things lying around I can see,forgot how therapeutic it is but my wrist suffers after
I would be keen to see your future drawings keep it up x
Thank you 😊
Hello Thehandyman
Yes you have come a long ways, did you start by using the oval method?
Yes started with oval and measuring spaces between eyes nose etc.
Thats a fantastic picture -I cant draw at all -only scribble -when colouring I always end up going out of the lines
Thank you.
If you practice enough you will become good at it, you just need to be patient.. 😊
Really I prefer my embroidery -Ive succesfully completed about 13 for my own enjoyment - not for a business i love watching the great british sewing bee & do my sewing while thats on
I tried some embroidery ages ago and enjoyed it. I bet you are really good at it.
Id like to think so Ive completed about 13. 6 are at home -some are pictures -1 is a well flattened cushion one is a small cover that you put on the back of the couch A friend suggested i make a business out of it -but i dont want to because 1 you need money to start one up & 2 doing it as a business means deadlines & I dont want to meet deadlines - just want to take my time over them -for my own enjoyment
That's very good i started about 6 monthso ago not upossible to your standard but I enjoy it
The enjoyment is the main thing.
Would you post a picture on here for us to see?
Yes no worries but not sure howhat to
I'm sure you will think of something 👍😊
Wow a year of practice made a perfectly beautiful sketch. Keep up the good work.
Thank you.
Scarlett Johansen?
To be honest, I don't know, I just saw it and drew it 😅
