Now folks be kind here I had no formal art training when I did these.The technical aspects will be wrong and things like perspective etc will not be right either.All are larger then A4 in size...close to A3 I think and if I remember correctly all are done form newspaper clips,magazine images or real photos.I can't believe I am sharing these but here goes.The man below is a pencil sketch from a magazine image and some blue acrylic paint wash added around it.
Mother and Child is another pencil sketch from a magazine image...got the Mum and child's feet wrong here for sure LOL
Three Wise Guys was a pencil and ink drawing from a newspaper clip...man that ink has faded over time
This next one is my nephew Chris and was a pencil sketch done from a photo my sister sent me.He is 25 now and is the man in the music video who looses his lover to the lead singer for Something With Numbers song "Stay With Me Bright Eye's".The Video clip is here on my blog .I think he was a cute child
Wind swept Child was a pencil sketch from a newspaper I think....the nose is wrong and I remember trying to fix it for many hours and then just gave up LOL
The floral trio was done in charcoal...I had no idea how to preserve a charcoal drawing back then and sprayed it with hair spray!!
Baby below was another pencil drawing....sorry if it offends anyone.I went thru a stage of drawing babies..curled up sleeping,feeding and bathing etc
So there you go...a glimpse of me the shy young woman from 20 yrs ago who grew up from that small child who loved to draw all those many many years ago *Grin*

I absolutely love your drawings! You are much too hard on yourself. And in most cases, if you didn't point out your "mistakes" I wouldn't notice them. My very very favorite is the first one - looks like a young Paul Newman.
Annette, no need to cringe. These are amazing especially for a person who had never had a lesson. I think you should trust your instincts a little more

I love your old drawings. You had a lot of talent back then and you still do. It won't take long before you get back into doing such wonderful drawings again. You've inspired me to scan in a drawing I did in my teens, the only one I kept hold of, hehe.
WOW Annette - these are amazing! You should be very proud of your earlier drawings and hopefully you will be able to share with us what you are doing now - my daughter is doing art and is in year 12 she was blown away by your drawings!
Thanks for sharing - Trizzy
I agree with the others Annette, there's nothing shabby about these images at all, especially if these were your "beginner" pictures! They are wonderful and you should be proud of them.
Oh Annette your work is outstanding, is there no end to your amazing talents.Your one very talented Humpty doowin

OMG! You are so tallented! Seriously! You are way to hard on yourself. There is a lot to be said for winging it!
Wow. amazing.
So glad to know you are getting back to drawing.
Your early sketches are waaay better than my work at that age.
I sure wish I had as much talent in my whole hand as you have put into your drawings. They are gorgeous and I hope to see more and more sketches from you to share with us. Thanks a lot for letting us have a peek at your early years. Love, Audrey
Hey, you've been tagged. Sure hope you can play along - details on my blog.
All Creativity is a Gift to be enjoyed and played with like a child with childlike delight willing to share, show and gleefully say....."isnt this wonderful......I did it and I love it" I just want you to know that your work speaks to the viewer and that is a blessing.....Well done.....Rosie the wildwoman
Creativity is a gift we all enjoy....to go forth with child-like abandon is bravery at its very best yet everything we create is wonderful and touches someone, somewhere. Your work whenever it was done speaks to someone....what more can we ask for???? Thanks Rosie the wildwoman
OH my
thanks to all of you.I shall try to not be so hard on myself in the future :o)I'm glad I kept these and my others :o)
hugs
Annette
