Outstanding.

Is this with pencil? (Sorry if this has been asked before).

Just a drawing pencil, 2B hardness nearly always (~or softness, sometimes even softer) but it's maybe not that visible due to fact I enlarged it. It's a 1 1/2" by 2" (4 x 5cm) little drawing of one of my favourite birds.

Little question.... do you paint as well? Quite a different ballgame but I kind of hope you do 'cos.... I think you're quite talented.

Wow. Everyone has really good sketches. I am jealous. This is all I came up with in two minutes. My Aspie moose...clueless as usual.

^ Excellent moose. Looks how I feel.

Yes, I used a B mechanical pencil.




Thanks. I paint sometimes. There are a couple of examples I posted in the Display your Artwork sticky in this forum. I think they are only 2 or 3 pages back ... just checked, on pages 59 and 60.

High School sometime around '77 or '78


Not sure when, but perhaps in my 20's... ~1980's?


A couple of years ago while going through divorce


More of the divorce era, it's the same page flipped 180 degrees (can you spot all the faces? )


Another divorce era



These are what I've been drawing this semester in my Algebra class.
I doodle while listening to lectures. I found I cannot take notes.. it's a waste of my time and I miss more than I get.
So now I doodle during lectures and I find I can listen to the teacher and stay active in class discussions.
I've actually had a few folks compliment me on my doodles... probably worried I'm some demented soul and they're afraid to mention how weird these things look!


The thing I enjoy most about my doodles is that fact that you can take most any of them and rotate them to see different things.
I don't have many that are drawn only towards one specific orientation.

I really enjoy looking at all your doodles/sketches/drawings/digital art.
I love the sheer variety that springs from the same medium through so many different minds!
Art is really cool! (even if it is recreational, and especially if it is therapeutic!):D

Ok. Here is another one I started last night...

Oh, I actually did wind up using the model, so it's not a work in progress. I dedicated it as a statue to the WP awards thread in General Autism discussion...

Hey outlier , anyone can get technical but not just anyone can EMOTE through drawing and painting.
you can. bloody good stuff.

some of the best artists i know are ASD and usually use the media of painting and drawing as the primary expression for the full range of emotions that cannot otherwise be expressed via social exchanges.

Them good old smoking days. Or good.... good for my creativity then. Other things, nah. Not an advocate for smoking pot whatsoever anymore.
Kids do not.... Nah, not a preacher either.

Anyway, another old drawing thus.

Thanks!



I might start drawing and painting more often. Currently, my primary outlet is through writing.

Yes! You really should!

Not very good with art, usually only do photography
I started this a long time ago but never finished it, one of only a few drawings I ever did,
am feeling like maybe finishing it, does anyone think I have any hope at drawing?

Nice, it's coming alive Nice details on the nose.
Keep practicing and drawing. The only competition is against yourself.

Yes, definitely!


I'm currently feeling too tired to draw (or do much of anything else), so here's a sketch I made about 10 years ago. A summer's day in a nearby park. Got caught up in detail again!

Shame this thread is slowly bottoming. We mustn't let it die, imo.

Another drawing I made, maybe even 20 years ago. It's totally imaginary, a bird not existing. Pfff, a bird with hair? haha.




(um, my nickname then.... never mind)
