Old Drawings: Drawing What I See
I tend to enjoy drawing cartoons more than I do drawing realistic objects. Still, it really helps to try to do just that every once in a while. My attempts still don't look realistic enough, but they were not too bad. Here are a few (click on them to see a bigger picture):
My parents' house (I think I drew this in middle school and while at school from memory)

A tree at my high school (I ended up drawing a cartoon anyway)
![]()
This last one I think is pretty cool. I built a lego submarine-type ship that I was really proud of. It didn't last too long, but I managed to capture it in a drawing from almost every angle before it got destroyed (probably by one of my younger sisters). I think I drew this in middle school.
You may have noticed that none of these "realistic" drawings include humans or animals. That's because those are way too hard to draw. It's one of the reasons I prefer to draw cartoons. And it's why most of the rest of the drawings that I will be showing this week will be cartoonish.

I really like the tree. And the lego drawing almost looks blueprintish, that's cool.
