One of my challenges for 2016 was to improve my drawing skills and specifically to improve at drawing people. I’ve decided therefore, that Wednesday shall be the day that I show off all [if any] of the drawing and doodles that I’ve completed during the week. So for today, the first doodle Wednesday, I present today’s attempt at drawing people.
I also did a few doodles this week, a hand from the cover of Skulduggery Pleasant Mortal Coil and a rose since it was apparently national rose day the other day. I’m happier with the hand more than the rose since faces and hands are the two things I struggle to draw most.

Those are really good.
What a great way to challenge yourself!! Kudos to you, and well done!!
I love the rose you drew. Roses are my favorite flower.
These are lovely Carol, I especially like your hand drawing as hands are particularly complex. Try varying the lightness and darkness of your outlines within a single drawing – it’s surprising how this can look 3-dimensional.
It’s great that you’re practicing! Practice makes perfect 😀
I haven’t drawn in ages!
Haha, if you look at the date on this you’ll see I haven’t either. Life seemed to get in the way.
Lol yeah relataable!
