Your opinion on this quick pencil sketch?

you can see a few more of my sketches on the sides. right now im not sure that i like them because i haven't been having a great "life" for the past few months.

A: I like it! It's very nice, especially if it really is just a "quick sketch" like the question says. The shading looks good and you did a good job blending the graphite. Your other dragon one done in Sharpies is awesome too! I can't believe how it turned out -- I would have totally screwed it up.

I like the first drawing, but you should add teeth to that dragon. It just seems a little plain without any fangs. Other than that, you draw really good! Hope everything works out in your life.

Can someone tell me their opinion on these...?

Q: I'm 15 and i'm trying to learn to draw/paint better..can you tell me your opinions on these?

A: You are a very good artist! 1 and 3 were very good but 2 really blew me away! Awesome details and shading! Good lick!

How to cut loose your inner artist

Creative time has gotten really loud at my house lately, as in my kids are in the habit of yelling while they draw.

And the kicker is I paid money for them to learn how to do this.

“More hair! Ahhhhh!” shouts my daughter as she adds gobs of hair to her 3-D fish drawing with rapid pencil strokes. “Ahhhh! Ahhhh!”

All this commotion and real fish don’t even have hair.

When my husband and I signed our kids up for Mark Kistler’s summer art camp in Grand Rapids, we didn’t know he would teach our kids to yell stuff out when they draw, and we also didn’t realize we would become his students, too. For a week, Jeff and I sat together with our 5- and 7-year-old daughters in class and followed Kistler’s animated instructions to draw fish, dinosaurs, marshmallows, monsters and robots in three dimensions.

Multi-photo Scrapbooking Layouts Gallery: Sketch Challenge Reminder

I wanted to provide a blog where scrapbookers like myself could find inspiration to create multi-photo scrapbook layouts without searching aimlessly through pages of one photo layouts. I get a little frustrated when trying to find inspiration for multi-photo pages; many of the magazines show one photo LO’s which look just fantastic but when we want to try and apply some of the techniques and designs to our own pages using multiple photos, it just doesn't work. The LO’S on this blog have been created by other scrapbookers that are happy...
