Thought you all might like to see one of the things I do as a hobby in my spare time. Tawny Owl - pen and ink drawing:
Aww Eileen that's absolutely beautiful Is that from more memory? So detailed! It amazes me more and more everyday of the talent on these forums I used to love drawing birds as well when I was younger. I don't know what is so appealing about them but they just are great to draw. I think I speak for everyone here when I say MORE!
That's really excellent! I wish I could draw that well. My father is an artist, and is pretty famous locally, but I didn't inherit any of his talent.
OMG Eileen! WOW and WOW some more! I cannot draw a circle, let alone something as truly beautiful as that! Clever thing you! Come one, show us some more. Cor, can't tell you how impressed I am! Going to rattle away for ages now in awe of you and your talent! Blimey. Cor! Wow! Could do with that on my wall!!!!!!
I take it you approve then EJ? Thanks for the comments everyone. I'm never sure how good my work is as I rarely show it to anyone outwith the family.... and they're obviously biased. It takes me months to do a drawing though as I'm a bit of a perfectionist I'm afraid. At the moment I'm working on another owl - this time a Barn Owl. My eldest lad, Duncan, gave me an ornament a while back which I'm trying to base my drawing on. I'll let you see it and the sketch once I'm done.
I second that, im hopeless at drawing. That sketch is fantastic, you are very talented. Would definitely like to see more of your work!
