Description:

I have some things that I just DON'T draw. I would hazard a guess that we all do. For me, it tends to be animals. Someone asked me if I'd do them a top notch pencil sketch of their dog for them to frame, to which I replied "Sorry I don't do animals". Why don't I?!!! I don't feel that I can, yet I've never really tried....

So for this swap you are making three (3) ATCs for one (1) partner. I would like you to base them upon something that you just CAN'T draw. All ATCs to the same subject please, so that there can be some sort of artistic journey/progression throughout them.

They must of course all be handdrawn. It is acceptable for one of the ATCs to be pencil or pen linedrawing, but at least two of them must have some further progression- colour etc.

They DO NOT have to be perfect! The premise of this swap isn't "I can't draw -dogs- but magically I've now drawn it perfectly!". You may recieve an ATC and the dog has wonky ears and a big nose, but as long as the EFFORT is there, please rate accordingly.

I hope I've explained this clearly enough! If there's any questions, as always, please feel free to contact me!

Oh this sounds so fun. I have always said I could not draw... but have had other people tell me I am crazy... I am loving this group so much that I now incorporate hand drawn into most of my swaps... I wish I was as good at it as some of my partners have been... Thank you all sooooooooo much.

Cats. I just can't draw ..... cats. I try but their essence escapes me. Could my partner please go to my paintings in Flickr and check out my dogs and horses. Note ... no cats. I could still probably draw or paint one better than Jo Blogs but not to my standard Paintings

Hey I just noticed the comments! I always forget to check back for comments below the swap! :-/

@Songcrafter1 I'm really glad you're enjoying the group. There'll be some new swaps up soon too!

It's always animals with me, I just CAN'T do them! Alot of it is probably because I'm so not an animal person that I've never been bothered about drawing them and so haven't practiced... I think I'll probably do horses for this swap...
