So following my introduction, welcoming you to my journey, here we are with the beginning.
I asked for suggestions of what to draw with a view to showing you how bad I am. @event-horizon kindly responded with the only suggestion - "Something minimal".
I considered lots of things that this could apply to from an unplanted seed (I really should plant them today) to Piers Morgan's brain to something a little more crude. None seemed like particularly good ideas, so I searched Google to see what it suggests...
I must confess, I didn't find this very helpful, so I drew a dog and I'm rather proud of it. I didn't overdo it, so I guess it's minimal too.
Here's my effort with the image I used to guide me beneath - You'll be surprised how proud I am with this. It looks like a dog.
I also learned that when it comes to pencils, "H" doesn't mean "Heavy" and "B" is obviously for "Bold"!
Chapter 1 in my book is all about Landscapes so wish me luck and let's enjoy the journey.
