Drawing is a skill, art is a gift. I am no artist, but I draw, and the same rule for learning to play the piano applies: practice, practice, practice. I have briefly mentioned earlier my deep belief in doodles.I will in a later post come back to my technique and how I go about drawing in general, but for now, here are some drawings of animals. I have included both those I am happy with and the ones I find a little embarrassing. Go ahead and guess :)
It was a silly question. There are wild animals in those pictures. Daaa :) I don’t see any plants in this collection though. Now it is time to work on one. Join me!
Not so silly; I could have made some of them up. In fact I sometimes do. No, I do not have many drawings of plants… I have no good explanation for that; but here are two: http://visualsquirrel.wordpress.com/

These are amazing! I loved the sea creature the most! Are you drawing from the photos?
boblet says:
Thanks! Yes, I usually draw from photos. The sea creature though, is from one of Haeckel’s plates.

Your drawings are just beautiful – I particularly like the insects. It is hard to appreciate the intricacies until you start to draw or paint one.

Thank you Chris – it is nice to hear. It is indeed tricky, and I am for some reason quite fond of insects and skulls :)
