My cousin sister used to draw all of them.And I still can't stitch to save my life. But I used to love water coloring sceneries until I realized that the picture I drew and the picture in my mind were not even remotely similar. But recently I tried drawing a Bambi for my son and it looked reasonably like ..well , a bambi and my son was pleased. :).

But then again, I'm only looking at it from a layman's perspective. I'm more a fan of those obviously artistic paintings, like a scenery, etc. <br />So do you think my sketch has any other dimensions or breaks any conventions? ;)Spaceman Spiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05143505093943885418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008635650302032737.post-10642149198557913032011-04-13T02:35:57.565-07:002011-04-13T02:35:57.565-07:00Divya,

Picasso's greatest desire was to draw like a child. If you look at many of our tribal and folk 'paintings' it breaks all the set conventional understanding on line, form, perspective etc. So don worry you can also draw.<br />And many art historians and art critics like me don know how to draw or sketch. ;) so don give up art writingPREMJISHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12726436907531742509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008635650302032737.post-26982406150012420612011-04-13T02:32:30.779-07:002011-04-13T02:32:30.779-07:00@Blue Lotus: I swear, we were such lucky kids, rig...@Blue Lotus: I swear, we were such lucky kids, right!! I seriously hope the artistic genes skip a generation and reappear. That's the only hope I can see for my children.
