Exercise in TRYING

Well, I've NEVER claimed to be an artist. EVER. But I do enjoy trying to be artistic from time to time. And as an adult, my desire and enjoyment has grown in drawing and even a bit of painting.

Today while catching up on my RSS reading I was reminded of the art exercises over at Heart of Harmony blog. I've been meaning to try some, but just plain forget. So, soon as I saw last week's assignment  for drawing something upside down, I dug up the necessities (a photo, paper, and pencil) and gave it a try.

 

Here's my inspirational image (cropped from my church's kidzone newsletter:

 

And here's my attempt at sketching it while it was upside down:

 

Bah! No laughing!!!  Not unless YOU attempt it to and blog about it! (and come here and tell me you did so, so I can go look at yours!)

 

I'm not quite sure what those funny  "sticks" are poking out of the bottom of his oddly-shaped body! LOL

I definitely think I'll have my daughter give this exercise a try. I'll let her pick out what she wants to draw. Hope to blog about it in the near future!
