I can draw, kinda sorta!



Yesterday I visited Annie at Hootin Anni's Day Trippin and found yet another sketch by Annie. I love it and have many times told her I wish I could sketch like she does. With her permission, I am using her sketch today. Pop over and tell her thank you 
 
source pic from PicMonkey stock

First I created a blank page in PicMonkey 
imported the above photo from their stock photos.
 
Then  I dragged the curves thingy, 
 and used my touch screen to draw with my finger
 and dodged and burned and nudged and touched up and colored for about an hour.
here is my creation that I kind a sorta sketched
Thank you Annie and PicMonkey. I guess I should have signed it Copycat, not MadSnapper

  2. Every person given the same instructions would have produced something different and that is the art in you - in everyone. You've done a great job of that, and i see no difference creatively between your process and my taking fabric that someone else has made, and a pattern that someone else has designed and making a dress that no one else has ever seen.

  4. I can copy but not draw from my mind. I think you have to have a certain eye for drawing.
    I love Hootin'Anni's bird and yours is fab.

  5. I saw that sketch on Anni's blog and loved it. Your version is very cool. You're an artist also, you just use a different medium than Anni does.

    Yes, as one who creates a log digitally, I agree - this too is an art as it requires some skill to work the keys to bring out the best 'copy'!!! YAM xx

  10. You did GREAT! I love ostriches' expressions. Like they're perpetually surprised.

    Did you write your name free-style, as well?

  11. PS - did you observe at all while you were focused on that artwork that you felt very calm or detached, like in a meditative place? Engaging your right brain in creative process can do that - and it's really good for you.
