I’m teaching myself to draw. Is this any good?

[MawkishTwaddle]

To be fair, I copied it. I haven’t done any art for nearly thirty years, but I’m lately feeling the urge and it’s doing wonders for my mental health.

Better than I could do!

Bloody hell yes! It's brilliant!

I think it’s good, if I achieved that, I’d be proud :)
Keep drawing x

It’s gorgeous (I know nothing of technique or anything like that but it’s beautiful to look at!)

Amazing

Really? Thank you!

As I say, I’m teaching myself by copying, but I need to learn to do it myself or I’ll get sued!

By ‘do it myself’ I mean read a photo, learn about techniques, etc, rather than copy someone else’s interpretation.

That's very good, copied or not it's not easy so well done!

Wow that's brilliant! You have some real talent

It is absolutely brilliant, please keep at it!

It's fab, especially if this is your first go

That is really really good.
(I do a bit of that myself and would be proud of that rabbit).

Sign and date it, put it in a frame and hang it up. It should give you a boost every time you look at it.

Wow that’s brilliant. I’m an artist and I use photos and ideas from looking at other artists work. I don’t copy but use them for inspiration. Good luck. You are doing really well

Ooooh. It's lovely! Beautiful technique.

Wow, thanks everyone! You’ve given me a real boost to keep going!

Great picture! You have talent. I would be impressed if I could do that

You seem to be good enough to sell your art.

Its good :) The best advice i had when learning to draw was to spend 90% of your time looking and 10% of your time drawing. I started copying other drawings, then black and white photos etc.

Really good. and nothing wrong with copying, it’s a great way to hone your skills.

That's really good! I'm not too bad at drawing but only if I'm copying something, I can't seem to visualise something and get it down on paper unless I'm looking at something directly

Wow, I know nothing about art but I love rabbits and I’d buy that pic. If that’s your first effort then you must keep going as you definitely have talent. You say you’ve copied it but even so. If I copied a picture it would look like my 3 year old DGD had done it.

I have taught art, and was all prepared to be underwhelmed - but this is excellent, OP. Carry on!

I draw a lot for a hobby but only really do cartoons, maybe the occasional flower and skull, but nothing like what you have produced- so I can’t comment on technique- but it’s beautiful and you should be proud of that, I agree with PP and think you should frame and display it

really beautiful. Wow. You should be very proud. You can draw. You have natural talent.

It is very good OP. I would be delighted to draw anything even half as good as that.
