This here is one of my latest drawings. It's a sketched rose. By the way, if you were wondering, I haven't had any art lessons or art classes. I started when I was 2 and art has just been my passion forever. At first I would just draw and color, but then I started sketching and now I shade with my finger. When I would see something interesting I would try it out; then if I like it, I do it but with my own style. If you haven't noticed yet this drawing is my profile for my blog. It took about a week to finally finish the final touches. I have been mostly drawing animals and I wanted to see how I would do with a plant, or flower in this case. I'll be posting a lot more sketches and as well as some of my old old drawings like when I was 4 or 5, haha. I'm 10 now just so you guys know how I progressed over the years. Anyway, I hope all of you like it!
I learned finger shading in high school. You are doing such a great job. Have you tried other mediums? I really liked pen and ink. Stippling and cross hatching became favorites of mine back when I used to draw. Maybe you will inspire me to draw something!
ReplyDeleteCool! I didn't know you used to draw! Well my mom is going to be getting me a charcoal set, so hopefully I will be able to sketch with something other then my finger, cause you know sometimes finger shading can get a bit messy haha, and I might start using my charcoal pencils to color too. :)
DeleteOh yes, I took summer school classes so I could take art during the regular school year. I minored in art in college. Seems ages ago. I just love this rose. It reminds me of my mom. I think it is great how you can draw so well in regards to scale and everything. I had to use a grid when I started. You are truly an inspiration. Have fun with your charcoals!
DeleteA Red, Red Rose
ReplyDeleteO my Luve's like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June;
O my Luve's like the melodie
That’s sweetly play'd in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I:
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry:
Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun:
I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.
And fare thee well, my only Luve
And fare thee well, a while!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho’ it were ten thousand mile.
A Red, Red Rose" is a 1794 song in Scots by Robert Burns
