Achievement Reached! Skill Unlocked

Everyone who knows me knows I CANNOT DRAW. This is how I would normally draw. Yes, a 2 year old can draw better than I do. I have no concept of lines and what not.

This was the bane of my existence. I so wanted to learn how to draw. I wanted to be able to create something visually appealing with just a pencil and paper. That is why I turned to the other arts. Yes I play 7 instruments. Yes I know how and have written songs. I took up photography and am pretty decent at that too. But ask me to draw and might as well shoot me now. I couldn’t draw something worth looking at for the life of me.

One of my 2012 goals was to learn a new skill. I put pencil to paper and began. (literally) Armed with a variety of youtube videos I set out to draw some sketches. Here are some of my initial drawings.

I’ve really got to get my lines down. As well as learn some proportion. But practice makes perfect. Or at least interesting.

Let me know what you guys think!

Please be gentle, as I said this is the first time I’m drawing something in my 26 years of existence.

Proves that you can learn anything on  youtube!
