Learning to Draw

In my spare time, I decided to do something worthwhile- we're never too old to expand our horizons, I guess. At any rate, I decided to learn to draw. This is about the extent of what I can do so far, apart from pencil sketches. Cartoons always seemed to come somewhat easy, as anatomical proportion takes a back seat to message, but anyway, hope you like it! Apart from that, I'm reading up on the subject, and have produced a couple pretty decent sketches so far. Not that I plan on making a business out of art- leave that for the pros. But it is enjoyable, and I'm learning some pretty interesting things- like the features on the average human face

start about halfway down the total area of the front of the head, and you can put your thumb against the side of your pencil, or whatever you're using, to determine the correct perspective for a feature or object. It will, oddly enough, stay about the same from your viewpoint to the paper. Unless you're doing something like painting a mural on the side of a building, or something like that. But anyway, the above was done on ordinary copy paper with marker and crayons. And since it's now out there on the Web, guess I'll have a good motivation to follow up on it, and keep working at it, since it's no longer a secret.
