I like cheescake. 16 candles is my favorite movie. I am an interior designer. I sell artwork to clients. I love my job. I travel more than 300 miles in my car for my job. I am running a marathon. Running is my favorite pastime. I enjoy snow. I like watercolor pallets the best. I make art to relax. I am inspired by the art I sell. I don't feel confident in myself as other creators.
I enjoy drawing over running. I enjoy sharing my drawings with others. I have three siblings. My siblings hate cheesecake. I like cheesecake. My mom is a teacher. My mom loves 16 candles. My mom was an extra in 16 candles. My mom used to commute. Blue is my favorite color. I do not enjoy running. I like to draw with watercolor pencils. I don't think my work is good enough to sell. I will go through my portfolio to find my best work.
Have you made any new watercolor drawings? Yes lately I've been drawing family members. Basically I'm good with drawing landscapes and sceneries, but figure drawing has always been difficult for me. So I'm practicing drawing the faces and bodies of my siblings and relatives. That's nice.  Are you doing specific poses like sitting or something more abstract and natural? Some of the poses are sitting or what I call relaxed poses. But sometimes I have them do an action and to hold their pose in the middle of the action. That results in the most dynamic or exciting poses, I find. I bet you are right!  You know, that is really nice of them to pose for you.  How are your poses coming along? The poses are coming along nicely. My family members and relatives are all different ages, sexes, and body types. So I've built up quite a portfolio of different types of people. What's interesting though, and someone unexpected, is that while I was originally focusing on poses, I found drawing their clothing equally fun. Clothing has folds, wrinkles, shadows, and other things that make them challenging to draw. I never thought about that!  So far I've only done some landscape and flowers.  I guess clothes would be difficult.  Do you like drawing them? Yes. I never really paid attention to drawing clothes until I noticed how "bunched up" they would get while people posed. And then I realized I would have to learn a whole new set of drawing skills to render clothing realistically. A lot of drawing clothing has to do with adding simple wavy lines with varying thickness to simulate the shadows. But you have to worry about the direction of the light source to properly simulate the shadows. That sounds like it might be too hard for me. I think I'll stick to flowers and stuff for now.  I would like to see some of your work though.  Would you be willing to show me? Nice! I like drawing flowers and nature stuff as well. Flowers to me are a challenge because the stems and leaves are all different shapes, sizes, and colors. And it's also hard to draw them in perspective. So they can be just a challenging to draw. Yes. I'd be happy to share my work with you, that is if you show me some of your work too! I don't know. I'm not that good.  I mean, I try to copy some of the work that I see and such but I'm no where near those levels.  In reality, my work is just simple and easy pictures but... I would like to see yours so... I suppose I could find one or two that are decent to show you. I would like that. I wouldn't worry too much about the quality of the drawings. To me all drawings are good. Because drawings represent your vision of reality, and who am I to question how you see the world? So I would actually be honored if you sent me some of your drawings. We could discuss different techniques and how I would have drawn it. But I would never dare to judge the quality of your drawings. Like I said. To me someone else's drawings are always good quality!
