I need something to draw!!

[Fleabuskitty]

I have dozens of photos of chickens, dogs, cats, and horses in my deviantArt gallery that you can draw if you want to

You should try shading, too; that way it would be more of a challenge. Plus shading is actually really fun.

Keep up the good work! Practice as much as you can and try a variety of subjects, it'll help train your eye to see details etc.

There are tons of photos on here... Just make sure you ask permission to use other peoples photos.

and get in a habit of signing your art, even if you're not happy with it!

Any body who draws or does any artwork will do lots of sketches and keep what is called a morgue file. A morgue file is a collection of pictures one can use for reference gather magazines go online and down load photos of the critter or subject you're interested in . The critter can teach you a lot. I'm 56 and have been drawing and painting most of my life. I still even look at how to books and videos videos, you never know just what you can learn. Keep your mind and ears open for constructive critism if you find yourself getting riled step back and cool off, Take some time and sort through it and glean anything you can use and file the rest in the trash can. I learned to oil paint from a friend of thr family and I used ou kitchen as a studio. Man, the crics came out of the woodwork lol
Who knows you may find yourself portraying some one's prize pet roo.

Hi chloezoebob101- just wanted to say that your chicken drawings are great! They're really fun. You have a good eye for proportion and you're very good at their faces- they have a lot of personality.

As a fellow artist (I'm a freelance illustrator), I have a suggestion for you: start drawing on plain white paper instead of notebook paper. It doesn't have to be expensive drawing paper, even printer paper will do. I think you will like how your drawings look when you see them popping out from an all white page!

Keep drawing, and post more artwork when you can.

One of the things that I do is take a reproduction of another artist work and add something of my own to it (like a postcard or a photocopy). It is a fun way to learn about another artists work and style. I posted one where I added a chicken to a Van Gogh on my blog: http://artmamasays.blogspot.com/2012/03/doodling-with-van-gogh.html

Most of all - just keep creating! A lot of art is about the process of doing.

thanks everyone!

I will start drawing on printer paper, and then i will put them onto the " drawing paper" and then oil paint it! I will have to put more pictures when my brother gets home to put more on here. ( in case you haven't learned yet, i am electronically challenged

)
