Excellent advice. And from someone who's a spectacular artist herself! She oughta know!Originally Posted by ShopCat
Please don't abandon your art for working in an office, someday you may look back, realized you haven't drawn in years & regret it. Don't be one of those people that say "I used to draw in high school..."
Thanks for posting those! I love your work, especially the Cooking with Cattitude one.Originally Posted by catsallover
Your artwork is wonderful!!!Since you asked, here's the ones I have in photobucket that I drew (I made them clickable because I felt kinda funny putting them in your thread! But since you asked, I would love to share! These have been floating around here a bit- not exactly new to some people who saw the cookbook cover contest, or the poster contest-lol. Thanks!)

Thank you for the advice, I think I will still make time for drawing. Even sketching is good, it my not look as good as a detailed drawing but I think it still helps to improve one's art skills.Originally Posted by ShopCat
You are definitely talented & have a wonderful sense of proportion that seems to improve as you go!

If you still have to hold down a job, that's okay, but just keep a promise that you'll always make time for it. Always keep something going, even if it's for a couple of hours here & there, even if it's very detailed & takes a long time. Those are the best ones anyway, right?
I love doing the detailed pencil work, too-have you tried the Berol Prismacolors(colored pencils)yet?
Always find something to challenge yourself, & keep some of your old stuff so that when you're older you can go thru it & say "Wow, the stuff I'm doing now just blows this away" It's a wonderful thing to be an artist!
The only cat picture I have to post is a cheetah portrait I did a few years ago in pastel & colored pencil..most of the stuff I've done lately is people in pencil.
(I'm sorry if it looks big, it was the one I have on photobucket,I don't know how to make it clickable, they have a new format & I haven't been over there much lately)
I want to private message you, but I don't see where the pm link is.Originally Posted by Moz
Those are great! I would love to see more of your art, even if it isn't of cats. By the way, where in Canada are you from?

Yah, I'm not old enough to PM. I don't think there's any other members here from New Brunswick.. of course, I could be wrong.Originally Posted by Frisk
