Opinions wanted .... I think! :D

I picked up my pencil and did a drawing tonight, for the first time in, oh, around 15 years. It is just a rough sketch but nevertheless I would like to hear what you think of it.

The photo I drew from

and this is my sketch (by the way, it is a bit blurred because it is a photo, I don't have a scanner)

That's fantastic! I love the way scetches goes, as they really bring out the life - and you really did that! Well done!

[Lexi_Lover]

Thats amazing! :D And the first time for 15 years! WOW! :eek:

[Christiansmommy]

That looks great!! I really need to bring out my drawing pencils again...it has been very long too!! I just have no time to sit and draw! :)

You did great!! Love it!! Can't wait to see more.

It looks great Chris! The eyes look amazing!

[catnapper]

Lopoks great! I'd have never guessed it was the first time out in a long time!

[ChrisH]

Aww, thanks everyone! :D You have given me heart to carry on. :)

That 's a great drawing Chris, wish I had that talent. I don't think I could even draw a recogniseable cat. :rolleyes:

[jenluckenbach]

Very nice!

Are you going to keep drawing now, or put it away for another 15 years? :rolleyes: :p (just me being silly) :D :D

I think Bob would make a wonderful subject.

[jesse_3]

Yes!-If you can draw a person, you can draw Bob! I have tried drawing, of coarse, no talent for it!:p Give some to me! :D:D:D:D

Steph and Jes

[KYS]

You are very talented.
I hope you decided to continue drawing again.

[captain]

That is great!!!!

Well done!!

[Cookiebaker]

That's AWESOME! :)

[finn's mom]

what a great sketch of an even greater subject! thank you for sharing that with us!

[Pam]

Wow Chris!! As someone (me) who can only draw stick figures I am in awe of your talent! I agree that a picture of Bob would be nice, but I think one of Bob and Ebby cuddling might be even nicer, since it is not likely to occur in real life (at least any time soon! :p )

[Edwina's Secretary]

Chris.... I am in awe of your skills. The eyes you have drawn are.....fabulous...haunting....

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Soooo envious! As someone who can't draw a straight line with a ruler I think a talent like yours is incredible!

[Killearn Kitties]

You've kept this talent very quiet, Chris!

I have no artistic talent whatsoever. It seems incredible to me that people can draw anything which is lifelike and recognisable.

I am looking forward to seeing your next sketch! :D

[Barbara]

Just can't understand how you captured the look and the smile!

Great!

[mruffruff]

Really great! Don't stop now.

[crsvstang]

It looks great! You have a really great talent!

[ChrisH]

Thanks so much everyone. All of your kind words mean an awful lot to me. :D :D

If you want to look this a link to some of the stuff I have done, there isn't much though. The portrait type stuff I did as long ago as '82-'83, and the owl, ape and bird sketch were the last I did, around 1990.
