I give all the credit to the photographer! I have got to draw more of his work.. if he lets me.

Thanks…. I think it’s time to wrap this book project up. With these last two drawing I cant go wrong! Besides.. Im drained out…..

Thank. Hey, its all in the pencils…. and in my cause an awesome photograph!

Ken, I have come to the conclusion that the art galleries here in America have no clue what art is! One tells me my work is too contemporary while another in the same week tells me its not contemporary enough! I just don’t fit in I suppose…. but that does’t mean I stop doing what I enjoy doing. Again, thanks!

Christopher, thanks. I needed to hear that today! And coming from great artists as yourselves, I am honored!

ha.. that is so very true! Thanks for the encouragement!

Thanks….. when I started working on this, my oldest son walked in the room and right away claimed the drawing as his once it is done. LOL.

Thanks for all your comments. Your taste in fine drawings are amazing. LOL

yes, its easy to draw something nice when the photographer is the one that did the hard work. His work is awesome!!!

Thanks my friend…. you just made a rough day end nicely.

Thanks. When I saw this photo I had to ask the photographer to let me draw it.. His work is awesome!!!

Thanks for the kind words. I try to improve with each drawing… sometimes I do well and other times its two steps back. LOL….

Thanks

Jessie, thanks. I owe it all to such a great photographer I can draw from!

I am sure you have heard of that phrase. “keep your day job”? Well that applies to artists especially. I am a graphic artist in the marketing department of a newspaper and even though I sell my drawings ever so often its never as often as I wish but it comes just in time.

I have had my drawings in a few art galleries but I have come to the conclusion unless you know the gallery owner on a personal level , a pencil drawing will never make it into art galleries in North America… so I draw commissioned pieces and sell from my website.

I did put together a book on my drawings so just maybe thats what drawing is for? To share with other artists…. after all drawing for me it is my way of relaxing and an escape so just maybe my works helps others do the same thing.

Keep up the work you do, aim to get matter no matter the level you are and remember you are doing it because you enjoy it… and should others see it, thats always a plus!

Thanks. I hope to be able to draw more from Tony’s photos. This was created in time for my book

Thanks for the kind words.

thanks!

ha.. thanks…. but 47 is far from young!!!! I have this fear the mind will give up or the fingers before the desire to draw ends. So I had better get some masterpieces done soon! LOL.

ha.. okay, okay…. thanks!
I actually gave up drawing for about six years and it was at the end of that period I realized why I drew. It wasn’t for others but for my self. It was my way of relaxing, and escape. Ever notice that your best work is pieces yo wan tot create, as appose to commissioned jobs that you do for money. The best art, be it a drawing, painting or sculpture comes from the heart.

One of the best thing about the artists and photographers I have meet here, besides their work, is the love and support they offer. Wow!!!

Thanks. I give all the credit to the awesome photographer! Its he that does stunning work. I just copied it.

Thanks!

Thanks. It was a lasy minute drawn to replace a drawing I originally had planned for my pencil drawing book. It was an honor to draw this!!

Your work is amazing. Its a shame galleries or publishers wont show your work!!! Well, I hope my books take off and what I have shared about you in them brings you the success you deserve, on day!!!

Thanks, Tony. Support like yours is what keeps me going. Not the ‘what-if’ of a dream or project but support from other artists such as yourself. With al my heart.. thanks!!
