The decisions between line-art and shading is always a tough call. It’s really not the question of one being better than the other, I’ve seen both done masterfully, but rather about where your personal talents lie.

These comments slipped by un-noticed until today.
Sorry about that.

If you have done it before, I doubt you are truly unable to draw anymore. That’s certainly the feeling I get when I’m getting back to it after a long absence, but the strokes, the sight, and the minute visual judgements come flooding back fairly quickly. You go out of practice and get a bit rusty, certainly, but you never quite lose it. Hope you do get a chance to try your hand at drawing again soemtime soon. It really is worth the effort.

Bravo on posting the drawings! courageous. and I agree good therapy. what a strange concept: artistic integrity, no?

I used to draw. alot. all the time. what worlds the young artist creates, how slyly we escaped.

I am really unable at present, but in years hence, you’ll see, will return home, bask once again under strange light, and know details of human skin, windows over cliffs, water bouncing. At present though, I’m at the mercy of the train pulling my box-car. Trying to make it to ‘the big city’, which looks less illustrious as I approach, than in ‘the movies’.

Peace,

You pick the time and the place, and we can begin. Watch out though, ninja drawing exercises are tough and will make a real man out of you!

Glad you liked the site. The current incarnation is already over two years old and much in need of an overhaul. That should happen soon-ish, I hope.

On a side note, I am now very curious about whether “to aunt” is a proper verb. If it is, I want to know what “aunting” is. Has to be something fascinating!
