Learning to draw again

After many years of drawing and painting.. Then getting side-tracked with work and stuff.  I have decided to start again.  Sometimes it is best to start from scratch. 

I decided to buy a great bookazine called: "Start sketching & drawing today" by Grant Fuller.  My copy was from WHSmith at £8.99.

So far, I have been looking through it and just decided to start from the beginning.  Usually I always jump ahead, but as my main challenge is to draw well again, if not better than before.  Actually, my main challenge is to draw/sketch Milo the chocolate labrador & also paint him.  Therefore I decided to do this properly and start straight at the beginning & learn everything on offer to me.

The book.

The advice & challenge.

What I decided to draw.  Milo's King toy.

What I actually accomplished in a few minutes of sketching with a HB pencil. 

Back to the drawing now..
