Hi Erika
I think you're being way too hard on yourself. This is how we learn stuff in art. I've never used chalks like that before or gesso and even the idea of it gives me anxiety because it's unknown - whereas you picked up your art supplies and you went for it and look at the outcome, I think you did a great job.
The ivy actually works nicely.
I haven't sketched anything for a few weeks and really feel like it now, but have no idea what...maybe I should follow your lead and do something spooky for Halloween.
We just have to keep going and learn along the way 🦇😼🍬
Hello @emma-h. Thanks for the nice words, but I have to be hard on myself, otherwise there's no development. However, I'm not going to get depressed over this as this is just for fun and as long as I can laugh about it, it's fine.
Spooky Halloween things are good though but I think I would just stick to learning portraying by watching YouTube tutorials. Above you can see a few (awful 😂) drawings from me, so it's easier for me I think, to continue with that for the time being.
I'm looking forward to seeing your artworks and please tag me to not miss it 😃
