Old Man



Yes, it's cheap to stuff a subject's hand into his pocket because you can't draw hands, but this picture has a sense of "solid whimsy" that I like to see in artwork, so I decided to post it. (Is it alright to admit that I like to like to look at my drawings?)

What kind of things do you like to see in drawings, paintings, etc.?

Hey, lots of old men put their hands in their pockets! He looks very whimsical!

Can I offer a bit of friendly advice? Ok, since I know as you read this you said, "Yes", I tell you: Practice. I used to do the same thing with people in general. I would never draw people, and then once I got over that, I had the problem with hands and still do. Contour-drawing helps too, but I'll have to explain that one later!

Oh, and I enjoy most all art except for a messy abstract like the kinds elephants and three year olds sell for thousands online.

We all know my faves are Art Noveau, Pre-Raphaelites, and various book illustrators.
