    I found these "biro patchwork" (just made that term up) drawings that I did all in a day back in 2010. They surprise me! I feel like I was extra creative for a short burst and then it went, haha.

    Here is something I did all in dots. It is on 11x17 inch art board. One dot at a time. I am patient! Lol

    Thanks. I don’t usually show things I do on here. some say this is crazy to do. Even the pants are all dots. I can really get into it. I have a really nice set of refillable koh I noor pens. That was done with a .30 tip. I hear nothing around me when I get into it. :). I guess it is my meditation.

    I appreciate the compliment : )

    But the concept of "naturally talented" is one I don't like, for two reasons.
    First, it puts people who have reached adulthood without getting into art off. They think it is beyond them, something that only certain people can do.
    Second, it undermines the hours of work that people who have gotten good have spent on it. It kind of makes it seem like they were somehow born to find it easier, when their first drawings probably looked as rubbish as anyone else's.

    I have a friend who is an astonishing guitar player, and people always say that to him.. that he is "naturally talented". He says he didn't feel it came to him easily or naturally at all.. it's just that from age fourteen he spent hours and hours a day playing. If a thirty four year old had time to put that much practise in, no reason they couldn't reach the same stage : )

    There ARE people who appear to be "gifted".. Obvious example like Mozart.. but I think they are quite rare.. and most of the time "naturally gifted" people are just people who have practised more than other people.

    totally understand that. the longer i look at it, the more amazed I am!
    I'm always impressed by people who can draw fabric folds.. haha.. in any medium. Dots just seem extra impressive.

    Well I wouldn’t call these sketches masterpieces, just quick unfinished sketches. Lol. Tossing in an unfinished painting too, which I will call finished. Lol 5742E901-BEE2-4237-AE52-4481A1F15305.jpeg 35744729-3F78-4DD3-8646-D7730ABD0A10.jpeg 514CED5F-BFDF-479D-8955-4AA1A1CC58F8.jpeg

    And thank you @mysticblu21 And at @Driftrue for liking my stuff. I have always been rather shy about compliments.
    As for born with and not, yes s9me teach themselves or are taught, others are naturals at it. this Is something my nephew sketched when he was 5. No one showed him. He just loves to draw and I would say he is a natural. How many 5 year olds know how to achieve depth in sketches?

    and mystic blue, I would love to see some of your artwork too. Please? :)

    you can see the cabin in the woods and the moon in the trees too. 5 years old. Most 5 year olds just scribble. He has control and and an understanding that was not taught and beyond his years in it, great hand eye coordination as well. He can look at things and draw it, as well as just from memory.

    And @Driftrue i love the one of the feet in the flowers. Of them all that one is the one I like most. :). I zoomed in and looked at each one individually. I really loved them all, but that one I likes most

    I did one of those in college, except I used a speed ball pen. I lost the picture...I think.

    I have a set of Koh I Noor Rapidograph pens. I always coveted them back in the early 70s, but could never afford them.

    [​IMG]
    I had to use a ruling pen for tech drawings...what a pain in the rear!

    [​IMG]

    Now I buy all kinds of stuff at flea markets that I could never afford. Like Leroy lettering sets,
    [​IMG]
    Compass extensions
    [​IMG]
    Beam compass
    [​IMG]

    Lettering guides
    [​IMG]
    Etc.
    Then I never use them!​

    Used to draw
    Hard to admit that I used to draw
    Portraiture in a human form
    Doodle of a two-headed unicorn
    It was soothing
    Moving my arm in a fusion of man made tools
    And a muse from beyond
    Even if it went beautifully wrong
    It was tangible truth for a youth who refused to belong

    Used to paint
    Hard to admit that I used to paint
    Natural light on a human face
    Stenciled fire on my roommate's bass
    It was blooming addiction
    A miss and a push and a pigment
    Book like a tattooed pigskin, look
    Pinhead kids intermittent
    Drank Kool-Aid from a tube of acrylic
