not the best.

i don't draw very well. in fact, i find it really difficult to draw objects as they are. for some reason, when it comes to me and drawing, i have this perception in my head and my hands draw them as how i think of them. not as how they really are.

i wish i could draw objects exactly as they are.. but i think i've come into terms with the fact that i can't draw well. and just make do with what i can :)

Ooooh, my art teacher used to say that exact line, "with enough practice, you will train your hands to draw what you see and not what you think you see".

But I like your drawings! Everyone has their own style, and not everybody can do still life portraits. Yours are cute!

But your handwriting is really really good :)

well, we all have our quirks and talents. (: i think it's nice how you draw things in the way you think of them, not how they actually are. it's fresh and unique! <3

I know what you mean, but I really like your drawings! They're sort of cartoony and really cute!!

I wish I could draw things how I perceive them or imagine that. That's always been my fault... but each person has their own quality to everything they do, that's what makes it theirs.

I think you can draw very well. You have your own style of drawing it's actually really nice and has it's own charm to it! Don't stop drawing :)

I actually love your drawings. I wish I could draw as good as you. Seriously. I'm the worst at drawing anything- even stick figures. ♥

This is exactly what I used to say about myself about a year ago and then I went to an evening drawing class, bought some books, started practicing every day and haven't stopped since :) I've got a long way to go yet, but with daily practice it's getting better and better, which made me realize that it's possible for anyone to learn this craft :)

Au contraire. Your drawings may not be accurate, but they are quite charming.

Any work of art should be judged not by it's appearance, but by it's soul.

You're drawings have a charm about them. It's their imperfection that make them what they are. Don't be just be like any other drawer..

Regina Babo said...

I love your draws!
It's a different style but very well defined. :) Sometimes the simplest draws are the best ones. Search a little bit about that and you will see.

P.S: The best Cappuccino that I ever drank was in Bologna!!

Hahahah!! But your draws are nice!!!! The same thing happens to me but with songs!!! In my head they sounds really good but when I try to sing them... iiuuuuu.....

Mallory said...

Are you crazy?!?! Your drawings are darling, I love them! You've got talent - don't doubt it.

melydia said...

Very cute. I especially like how the cappuccino looks like a sushi roll with a handle. (And no, I'm not making fun of it - I really do like it!)

Brooke said...

I can't draw either! It's so frustrating. It would make my life a lot easier if I could ha. I think your drawings are very nice though. Some of the best artists draw like that! It's all about your perception of things :)

Trude said...

"Well" is such a debatable term. I think if you were drawing things like a photo then I wouldn't be interested! Your style is very defined and I love it - embrace that!

Karolina said...

your drawing is so sweet! Don't ever change that style :)

Your doodles are amazing! I don't think art can be "good" or "bad". Art is about creativity and freedom so if you label it, is it still art? I love everything you do and your handwriting is so cool!

Reticella said...

i love your doodles! in fact, i kind of miss them!

Francesca Forzoni said...

I've missed these!

Hope you're well.

PS a cheeky new blog is up..

I like your drawings. But if you really want to learn how to draw things as they really are check out a book called 'Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain' by Betty Edwards. She also has instructional DVDs and a website. It really works.
