All the recent hoopla about coloring caught my interest and I started dabbling in doodling recently. I got interested in adding shading and color, and I've pinned some lessons and websites. This week, I hit a major weight loss milestone (25 pounds! Yeah!) so I decided to reward myself with the 150 box of Prismacolor Premier pencils. Hefty price tag on that one! I want to put them to good use and really learn to draw. Has anyone here taken up drawing as an adult? What was your experience like? Resources or tips?

There is a big thread about it. I believe someone bought the set you were thinking about and found many were duplicates. I'll see if I can find it.

" Has anyone here taken up drawing as an adult? What was your experience like? Resources or tips? " no, but the coloring threads have also made me think about this, too.. I looked at some 'how to draw' books at the local Dick Blick store, but am thinking that maybe Youtube videos might be better?? Or a class at the local community college?? Not sure where I want to start, either. (except that I ordered the 120 color set of Faber Castell colored pencils and they should be delivered when FedEx comes tomorrow, lol!) so in the meantime, I'll do some coloring and some Zentangling / doodling, I guess.  ETA: and congrats on your (terrific) weight-loss milestone, eats_crayons!!  |
