So, these aren't as good as all yours, but it's something.

I think the flower is actually quite stylish! :)  I wouldn't mind seeing some more detail on the bird :)
Make your own kind of music, sing your own special song.

I meant for it to be a rose, but it didn't work out :(
That was simply a sketch, 5 minutes while listening to a song to inspire it. I'll go back to make it better when I feel like it.

Beautiful! I'm impressed Willow!    ;)

For the bird. Didn't start out as a bird though.
The flower took more like 15 minutes.
Of course none are museum quality,  much less close to Aidan(dalex)'s drawings.

Still really awesome.

That's a great start, Willow!  Drawing is not something I'm terribly good at, but I do enjoy it.  It's great to see someone else working on their skills too!  Before you know it, the beauty that you see in your mind will be flowing much more freely onto the paper, until one day it will be second nature!  :)

I particularly love the jaunty lines of that bird... you seem to have captured the essence of the way birds at once can appear beautiful and sleek while at the same time appearing larger than they actually are.

:D I totally didn't think about that! Thanks for the kind words, Robin.

There is something about that flower, the way your lines are done that makes it absolutely gorgeous. I love the rough lining, yet the elegant and proud stance it has. Keep it up Willow :) I'm liking your style.

Thanks you two.
Aidan, that's probably from the weight I put in when writing/drawing. I consider myself adextrous, not capable of writing with either hand, because with the left it's too slanted to be legible, and with the right it's too hard and thick and messy. And physically painful. The only thing that carries over into my art is the weight of which I press.
I hope to have more drawings soon, my 2 Arts and Letters credits will likely be Studio Art 113 (Drawing; Colours and Designs) and maybe creative writing.

That sounds tough, being adextrous.
It's super cool that you draw anyway, though. I like that flower a lot, and if/when you have more drawings I'd like to see them.

Most of mine are down in Florida, I can scan them in there, or bring them back up with me after Christmas break.

Here's some dresses I drew.
Sorry for the low quality, what I did is I drew them over female forms I printed out, then traced just the dresses over via a makeshift light table. The lowest one is sideways because it came from a different sheet.
I'll add some colour later.

You could fill in the bodies, make the horizontal "dead" on the ground, "killed" by the (standing) Fashion Police (have the down one in a really gaudy material).

I have a heck of a time doing stick figures.
...I think for most of us it is a futile effort to try and put this genie back in the bottle once she has tasted freedom...

I can always move it...

As do I. I'll give it my best, though.
