Default Pencil drawing

While I have done quite a bit of painting I have not been very confident of my drawing ability, so have concentrated on that recently.

This is a pencil drawing I did over the last week. Takes much longer than I previously have given to the medium, but I have really enjoyed it and will be doing more very soon.

Beautifully drawn Alan....you have every right to be proud of it, but, like me, don't you envy those people who can just scribble out as wonderful drawing in a matter of minutes.

Some years ago I watched a lady drawing in a churchyard, and said exactly the same to her.

She repled " I am sorry for people who can't write "


I told her " I can write but I can't draw "


She then asked me whether I had always been able to write, or had someone shown me how to when I was young

Obviously I said I was taught.

Then she explained that if you can learn to make marks in the shape of letters you can make them in other shapes called "drawing"

Then she said quite sharply " Go and find a teacher who will show you how to draw, and stop moaning and wishing. Do something about it !"

I didn't like her much at the time but have been grateful to her since.

And sensible you, for doing as she said.
