I tried to follow along on a Bob Ross “Joy of Painting “. His was much better. #iknowthaticantdraw #iknowicantdraw #iknowicantpaint #iknowthaticantpaint #bobross #joyofpainting #beyondhope https://www.instagram.com/p/CQWiB0ADOxn/?utm_medium=tumblr

I have #dyspraxia, lately I have seen the hashtag on Instagram overrun with hate speech posts from parents sympathy fishing and blaming their kids for having a #neurodiversity. We see things differently, but we still see that you hate us and blame us for our differences, even if you think we don’t. Depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation are high amongst neurodiverse adults due to how we were treated as kids, largely by our parents and other adults we should have been able to trust. #blametheconditions #neurodiversenotbad #wewerebornthisway https://www.instagram.com/p/CQOmlxSDcX-/?utm_medium=tumblr

The splodge at the bottom is where I was trying out a watercolour pencil. #pencilonpaper #inkonpaper #inkonpaperdrawing #inkbutnottober #iknowthaticantdraw #iknowthaticannotdraw #drawingforms #micronpens #drawingeveryday #stillcantdraw #stillcannotdraw (at Birmingham, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQMdZpJDt-C/?utm_medium=tumblr

Had a play with some new charcoals I bought yesterday. Brand is Daler Rodney. Tin contains one each of hard, medium and soft charcoal pencil, a graphite pencil, one soft and one medium compressed charcoal blocks and a putty eraser. They seem softer than other charcoals I’ve used. #charcoalsketch #charcoalpencil #charcoalart #basicfigures #charcoalonpaper #dalerrowney #icantdraw #iknowicantdraw #ineedtolearntodraw #ineedtotakeaclass #ineedadrawingclass #isuckatdrawing #charcoalcoveredfingers https://www.instagram.com/p/CQCIB-mD2jR/?utm_medium=tumblr

Trying out black paper sketchbook. #blackpaper #blackpaperart #blackpaperdrawing #doodlingart #doodler https://www.instagram.com/p/CP6ZYcXjg1K/?utm_medium=tumblr

Yet more awful doodles. I’ve been very busy with work so haven’t really had the time or energy to do anything. #doodlingart #doodler #doodlersanonymous #pencilonpaper #pencilandpaper #colouringpencils #michaelsoft #gesturesketching #iknowicantdrawdontneedtotellme #iknowicantdraw https://www.instagram.com/p/CP6XQg3Dj5b/?utm_medium=tumblr

More doodles. I also used a couple of silicone stamps I have. I know it’s crap and I have no talent. I’m just trying to draw something every say, even if it sucks. #doodlings #doodlingart #inkstamp #butterflystamps #balletdancerstamp #pencilonpaper #iknowicantdraw #cantdraw #itsamess #ihavenotalent https://www.instagram.com/p/CPEcDMHjX38/?utm_medium=tumblr

Another exercise from the @domestika beginners’ course with Puño. This time it’s to try to show expressions changing only the eyebrows and mouth. I’m sure that someone more artistically inclined would get this, but I’m very much puzzled at what it’s teaching. It seems to be jumping ahead but not in a way that is covering what I feel I need to learn. I’m still struggling with basic forms. #pencilonpaper #puño #puno #nolemons #icantdraw #iknowicantdraw #idontknowwhatimdoing #expressions #faces https://www.instagram.com/p/CO_LoMpjvmZ/?igshid=rucujd1rckui

Another exercise from the course I’m doing on @domestika on beginners’ drawing taught by Puño (wonder if he has an Instagram). This one was to use a shape ruler (the translators term, I suspect shape stencil would be a better contextual translation) to draw a face. He filled in the hair with ink and a brush but I didn’t have any to hand, plus I don’t think this paper would stand up to liquid ink too well. #pencilonpaper #sketching #domestika #beginnerdrawing #puño #puno #face #stencils #iknowicantdraw #idontknowwhatimdoing https://www.instagram.com/p/CO_EqQbDG7j/?igshid=92t88jnk9upq

More doodles, still suck. Trying forms. Really messed up the figure, arms more like an ape. #doodlesofinsta #doodlingart #doodlings #doodlesomething #doodlesomethingeveryday #workingonforms #pencilonpaper #pencildoodle #iknowicantdraw #drawingisdifficult #dyspraxia #dyspraxicdrawing #pencildoodling #idontknowwhatimdoing #drawingwithdyspraxia https://www.instagram.com/p/CO8yNZ_jb2r/?igshid=uesj98bje9m9

I had a play around with the 3D tools in Adobe Illustrator. @ptrani demonstrated a few things in his Illustrator Masterclass yesterday. I’m no where near his level of skill (plus my MacBook struggled with some of the renders), or that of @jackwatson05 or @maperrs.art, but I tried, I’m very trying. #adobeillustratorcc #3dillustration #threedimensional #extrudeandbevel #3drotate #3drendering #3drenders #3drenderings #typeonapath #3dtext https://www.instagram.com/p/CO6M1BsjDAd/?igshid=pxj40yz56oyx

This is something from a course I’m doing on @domestika on drawing for beginners. The tutor is a guy who goes by the name Puño. He calls these Totems (or at least that’s how the translation has them), the idea is to draw shapes piled on top of one another such that if they were 3D forms they would be stable. #doodlingart #Domestika #puño #puno #iknowicantdraw #shapes #balance #totem #pencilonpaper #demotivational https://www.instagram.com/p/COyJI6YDI2O/?igshid=1k68j5b6prg57
