When I use to draw I mainly drew horses, buildings, trees and flowers. I alway thought that drawing a person was just beyond me. When I was at Western I drew a pen and ink drawing of a live oak tree. I was planning on framing it as it turned out so nice. My instructor had selected it along with 5 other artist's works to display in the showcase over the next month. At the end of the month I went to get my picture only to find that of all the drawings that were displayed only mine had disappeared. I tried to reproduce it, but at the time I was so angry I just couldn't. Because of moving so many times, water damage etc all my other drawings are gone. The only other drawing that may still exist from this time was a drawing of a horse I did in pastels I gave my neighbor in Westland.
I don't know why I stopped drawing back then except that I started studing architecutre and was always drawing buildings and roadways. Back then I used an easel in art class but a drafting table at home. I am excited today as I bought my first easel. It only cost $25 and is very adaptable and portable. This should make drawing easier.
