I am BACK with a SKETCH: "Did you miss ME?"

I think you are a crafty person. I do cross-stitch before. Out of frustrations in sketching.lol I had done more on figures and paintings. I had created Mona Lisa and it was hanging on the wall in the living room.

I tried my best.lol

@ridingbet It wasn't me.lol It was created with my wild imagination.

@Shavkat you look 'old' though. you should have drawn your lips upward so you are smiling.

It is nice that you had dropped by.

@yugocean Thank you for asking, my friend. They are fine. I am quite busy still. But, it can be manageable

@Shavkat and how's you doing now? How is your family?

@LadyDuck I had checked some of the video clips. I think they are good for the beginners.

I wish I can have the time. I will try to check on Youtube about it. I haven't tried to sketch a portrait. This is my first time to do it. I had done natures and the like.

@Shavkat There are good lessons posted on YouTube, you learn the correct proportions of the face and it becomes a lot easier to draw a face.

@DaddyEvil I think you really a fast reader. Perhaps I can do that.lol However, I am so loaded with work every day. I can only read when I am done with all my tasks. There is hope for this situation. Starting next week, I am going to close my classes in the morning and afternoon. Thus, I am going to work at night only. For your health concern, I think you need to religiously have the prescribed medications. At least, some of your medications had been identified as having allergic reactions. It needs to refrain from having them again.

@Shavkat Hmmm... I went looking through the sites I used to earn money on from writing and myLot is the only one still up and paying... so I can't help you with that. I've had an interesting week... I started having hives across my chest on Thursday. On Friday they spread up my neck and I started having trouble breathing. I used an epi-pen and three hours later I could breathe again, but the hives moved on up and across my face. I really looked good! Yesterday I finally got in to see my doctor. She gave me a shot and the hives are almost completely gone. She decided one of my medications may be to blame so told me to stop taking it and gave me a new one to take it's place. I start the new one in the morning. Do you use the Kindle Reader or the Kindle App? I've got close to a thousand ebooks stored on the Amazon cloud. If you like Sci-Fi /Sci-Fi-Fantasy books I could add you as a family member on my account so you can read through the books I have already purchased. (I will warn you in advance that I sometimes buy book bundles. There are all kinds of books in the bundles. Some of them are adult, including gay and lesbian ebooks. I ignore those.)

@Shavkat Yes, my doctor told me to stop taking the blood pressure medication I had been using but she said not to throw it away. She says if the new one causes me any problems we may have to return to the old one. So far, the only problem I'm having with the new medication is that it makes me sleepy. (I've been falling asleep as soon as I get home from work. That's why I haven't been here since the 5th.) I think I can put up with being sleepy if using this new medication means I'll have fewer allergic reactions. Oh, I know a blood pressure medication I was using three years ago closed my throat and caused my tongue to swell so big I could barely get any air at all. I had to go to the ER. The doctor gave me three anti-allergy shots and hooked me up to an IV with a different type of anti-allergy med in it. It took six hours before I could breathe well enough to do without a machine to breathe for me. *Shake my head* That wasn't fun at all! I actually still read paper and ink books along with the ebooks. Like you, I like the feel and smell of a book but the ebooks are cheaper and it's much easier to carry my entire library around on a chip in my phone or Kindle Reader. I have 17 large packing boxes full of books in my garage, three large bookcases full and more books piled on our dining room table and the headboard of my bed! I only keep physical books that I really love. I've been donating all the others I don't have room for to the public library in our city. (The librarians have said I donate more books than our city purchases for the library! ) Edit to add: I am not a slow reader. I normally read one novel length book every day. If I kept all those books I'd have no place to live! Okay, I will check out Virily when I have time. Thank you for the suggestion.

Wow! I hope I can have more time to do it. I am interested in animation. But, it would be a long way for me to do that.

@Nickzter1331 I am not sure yet. Perhaps I can just make it as a hobby. I cannot afford to change a career. But then, I will take it from an expert.

@Shavkat ,,,actually... for me, sketching is harder than animation... And i think that if a person know how to.sketch, drawing animated will be easier... Give it a try...

@Shavkat No doubt that. He does look like a human

@allknowing Thank you. I will be worried if it is not.lol

No one, my friend. I just sketch and keeps on checking if he will look like a human.lol Thanks

That's the culprit. I am not sure if I have enough to do it, too.

@rakski

@Shavkat it is good.

I think it would be difficult to find a book about it. But I will try my best to find one.

@MALUSE Thanks for the link. It is nice of you to do this. c",)

@Shavkat You're welcome.

He is looking at you.

@sol_cee

@Shavkat I mean what crime did he commit? lol

Thank you. You are back, too. You were away for quite some time.

@ilocosboy You said it right. c",)

Yeah, we can go far away but we'll always return to mylot.

I know what you mean. In fact, it takes time for me to let the pencil works before doing this.

@Shavkat I have a giant box of things for art. When I have time, the mood seems to disappear (& vice versa). When I have both, that box just can’t be found.

@YrNemo Hahaha I think we need to put all things together and condition oneself.

I have to edit the size. The sketch was attached now. Thanks for the warm welcome

@vsai2008 I think I will be jumping with joy. Thank you. I think I have the skill.

@Shavkat the sketch is good:-)

Thank you.

@august18

@Shavkat You're weclome.

Thank you for the compliment. I wish I can be better at doing it. I need to keep on practicing.

Thank you. It is nice to catch up with you here.

Thanks. That's a nice encouragement from you.

Thank you for appreciating it. I was so busy lately. It is nice to be back again

It is not me, my friend. It is the wildest imagination. Does it look like a human?

I wish I can do this as often. But I am so busy as a bee.

@Shavkat I understand so when you have free time hopefully you can do it.
