I came across some of my early drawings this week. I was in my teens when I first had a passion to draw and would stay in my room for hours on end with pencil in hand. Most of these were drawings in my early teens and I wish I would have dated them. I have many other drawings but have no idea where they all are but I would like to share a few of my very first pieces.
Faces were something that appealed to me, many different kinds of faces with all sorts of expressions. I revisited faces in college immersed in my teacher’s way with art. Who knows, one of these days I may have to pick up that pencil again.
It was a challenge for me to draw my hand in the positions that you see but a challenge is something I always enjoy.
The shoes were just a fun medium that I took pleasure in as different objects had a way of striking my fancy.
Good grief Debbie, where in the world were you hiding this talent of yours?!?!? I’ve known you since we were kids and until reading your blogs and seeing what you can do in the last few months I had no idea you were such a good artist. If I could draw like that (I can barely draw a stick figure) I don’t think I would ever put a pencil down. 🙂
You are amazingly talented! I tried to comment yesterday but my comment wouldn’t take. I can’t believe I never knew any of this about you! Mr. Barr must have loved you in art class.
