I recently experimented with drawing stick figures. I really want to learn to draw. This is what I got…

Yes, it so much harder to deal with so much bad news when you're alone.  I was a bit luckier in that ive had a couple of people to help me but family had been nonexistant and i had very few friends when it began.  So i can only imagine how hard it is with no one at all.  But you do have us here and while i know its not the same as having someone there in person next to you, online friends can be a huge source of support as discovered myself earlier last year.  We'll help you through this.

LOL @Oaktree , I was about to say that I can draw stick figures and that's about it... not even stick figures that look like yours!

[Former-Member]

@Oaktree hey that's really good, I'm impressed.

Thanks @tyme @Former-Member 

I probably did those about 2 months ago and haven’t gone back to it yet. If I am going to get better at drawing it is going to take daily practice

@tyme i thought stick figures were simple things. But @Oaktree  your stick figures put mine to shame 🤣

@rav3n not since I was a very young child. I hate that the numbers can be seen even after painting over them.

oh gosh i hate when you can see the number underneath too! @Former-Member i try to layer on paint to get rid of it but i end up either giving up or ruining the work. 

last year i really got into making beaded bracelets, i'd make them for friends and strangers too. are you into that sort of craft?
