I've always been into artwork...painting and drawing free hand. When I had major surgery in 1989 I had a lot of time on my hands so I started back drawing with charcoal. Some were from my head and others were copied from photographs. The first was copied from the promo picture of my son's group decades ago. Son is the tallest. I signed all my work with my nickname, the name most people called me. The next is from my mind if I remember correctly.

Great job... people are hard to capture!
I gave my grand daughter her first art lesson this summer. At 7 years old her patience is still very limited but we struggled through it. I think she even amazed herself. She tells me she wants to be an artist like me when she grows up... little does she doesn't realize it's a lifetime process.
I still remember some of the basic drawing lessons that have stayed with me after all these years, from drawing an egg with a pencil and not showing ANY strokes to mixing my own colors.
Stick with it... as art comes in many forms.
 
Thank you all so much for your lovely comments! :love: These are of Bob Marley. As you can see, I sketched out the first but never finished. I had forgotten about it and just found it a couple of days ago. The second was from a picture I saw in a magazine when he must've been younger. I hung that in my office for awhile.
