AS a disclaimer, I am left-handed and have Lyme disease. I do not keep anything in one position, not even paintings on an easel, so keeping it in one position to draw something upside down was difficult, none the less I will post my most terrible of this young man.
This is in 45 minutes, no add-ons or refixing of the drawing. It is just a down and ??? drawing?
Look forward to seeing everyone else’s
Teri
drawings!
Well done, Teri! I signed in about 15 minutes late, so I didn’t draw along. I’m going to do the drawing, though, and I’ll post it when finished. I’m so glad you’re able to participate in these lessons! I enjoy your input so much.
Brenda
Thank you, Brenda, I enjoy yours too!
Teri
Teri - that isn’t terrible at all! Here is mine - I was thrilled it ended up looking like a boy playing a guitar. He does not resemble the boy in the photo much at all. I thought it was a very fun exercise and really enjoyed it.
Awesome job, June!!! Maybe I’ll get mine done before the day is over. I feel myself getting “behind!”
I think yours is an excellent rendition of last night’s project.
Brenda
June,
Your’s turned out great too! I agree it was a great exercise. It was difficult for me to keep the paper so I was working upside down. I usually turn my paper constantly as I work, I believe because my brain started to work differently after I was diagnosed with Lyme (actually before, as here in NC they don’t believe in Lyme}.
Great Job!!
Teri
You did a great job. Please do not be so hard on yourself. You are a very good artist. Love it.
Teri,
When we lived in NC, there were so many ticks. My poor son was always getting them in very inconvenient and private places! But he got lyme when we moved to NJ. The classic bulls eye and everything. But since we were on vacation, it was a fight for the dr to believe me and get him on the antibiotics. It can be so frustrating !
Jume,
I agree. It took me three years to get diagnosed and after seeing the list of symptoms it made since that I have had it since childhood, it went dormant and then through a series of stressful things I came on like a wildfire, no stopping it. I do not tolerate antibiotics so finding other ways to kill it off has been a challenge. Is your son over it now?
Teri
Thank you, Denise, I always appreciate your encouragement and suggestions for improvement.
Teri
This is as sketchy as it gets! LOL! I rushed through this so that I could post it, but I certainly didn’t spend much time on it. That’s pretty obvious. 
Brenda
he responded well to the antibotics and is over it. thank goodness.
Very nice! It’s looks way better than mine. I love that people are beginning to share these drawings/paintings as well as live lesson work as well. It makes for a nice community feeling.
Brenda
Thanks Brenda. I hope to get more involved.
That would be awesome, jcfuller!
Brenda
Wow! You did an incredible job! Thanks for sharing with us.
Teri
Brenda,
I agree. I have been wanting this type of comradery withing the students of Matt and Ashley.
Teri
June,
That is so good to here. I would not wish long term Lyme on anyone. But it did help me to find the artist desire in me and meet you and so many others here at the VI.
Teri
Oh Teri this is fine! Amazing to be drawing upside down!
