Well, this particular "announcement" is basically for hand drawn (not computer) graphics.

*How do I participate?

To join in on this event is simple - as simple as picking up a pencil (or mouse) and drawing. However, the most important part is sharing your art with the world.*

Thanks, I like it. And true that we see hand drawn graphics here so rarely.

With a perspective problem.

That's not a perspective problem...it's a "unique perspective" that only your hand/eye combination could create. Don't belittle your ability relish it's uniqueness. I think it's great. Have a look at some early American dutch rural paintings of farm buildings, I can't remember the painters name right now but your drawing reminds me of his work. His work is famous and his style is what separated him from all the other painters more interested in creating "photographic" paintings. The thing about beauty is that just like in nature nothing is perfect and if it is we hold no emotional value in it, however if artwork represents a human imperfect characteristic it reminds us of ourselves and we then care for it in a more emotional way.

Thank you for the kind words. It feels odd to draw by hand after using SU for so long. I had to resist trying to push and pull things or draw them the way SU would. There is something to imperfections.

Thanks for posting your drawings. Nice to see the hand drawings and doodles.

If I can find the time between yard work and relaxing it'd be to draw by hand, something I don't do enough anymore. To draw by computer seems too much like work for Sunday, because I do that the rest of the week. Can't scan until I go to the office Monday though.
