It was really cute and most archie-like! So there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) - I bet people who genuinely couldn't draw would be utterly baffled by how you could consider it "not that good" let alone "awful" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

But I can't draw (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) If I do draw, it has to be from a picture, I can't think of something...

and you haven't seen my painting either (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I can't draw either. But I think a pencil sketch looks way better than an oil painting or sumfink like that. And why have a picture of the outside of your house inside your house??????? WEIRD

strange idea. I like pencil sketches though. i tend to do very depressed pencil portraits. I like the effect it gives.

Why, planning on dying soon????? 99 out of 100 artists are only famous when their dead......

But I shall be that one per cent! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) No, only joking! I can capture a good likeness but that is all. Still can't decide why people want their own houses though. Very puzzled Petrat

I once embroidered a picture of our old house in blackwork after we'd moved as a present for my sister, who was missing the place dreadfully; that sort of makes sense to me, but I'm not sure I'd want a portrait of my current house inside it...
But the appeal of pencil drawings I can see - I love them, probably because I also like trying to do them myself. There is only the contrast of light and shade to try to find - I'm totally at sea with colour. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
