Me and my fiance were watching the show Chalkzone the other day,and it got me thinking,so I decided to ask all you mylotters,if you could would you bring back your childhood drawings?If so,why would you bring them back? Which ones would you bring back?Which ones would you not bring back?If not,why would you not bring them back?Do you wish that there was a real place like the Chalkzone so you could see all your old drawings?If so,why do you think so?If not,then why do you not think so?Did you like the drawings you did when you were a kid?What were your favorite things to draw when you were a kid?At what age did you start drawing? Did you take art classes as a course in High school?If I could bring back drawings from my childhood I defintely would,because I feel they were a part of my childhood,just as much as my friends and family were,and I feel that they would help me hold onto my childhood,I would bring back all my drawings because I loved every drawing I ever did,and there are none that I would not bring back,and I think it would be awesome if there was really a place like Chalkzone because not only would you be able to see all your drawings,you would be able to see other peoples drawings,and you could compare and see if there is anyway to improve your drawing style,When I was a kid I loved drawing characters from my favorite movie Star Wars,such as my R2D2 picture I have displayed on the wall of mine and my fiances room,and I would also draw pictures of cowboys such as the lone ranger,and other random things like dogs and cats,and basically anything that came to my mind,I do not remember how old I was when I started drawing,though I know I was really young,and I know most of my artwork was not that good,thats why I do not draw anymore,when I was in high school,I took one art class,and I almost failed it because my art did not seem to be good enough,but I am hoping to get back into drawing,because it is a wonderful pastime, that can teach you a lot about art,and a lot about ones self.

Since I never could draw worth a lick, no, I would not bring them back. They were awful, and if I tried to draw something today, it would be awful as well LOL I am much better with words and numbers than I ever have been at drawing :)

I am sure you drawings were better than you think, because most people over criticize their work,and I am sure if you drew something today,it would be good,and you should give drawing another chance,but it is good that you are good with words and numbers because those are both very useful skills in the real world,thanks for responding,have a great day,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting.

I was never really an artist. I drew an elephant once, that my mom thought I traced..she put it on top of the elephant I was attempting to draw...and mine was 4 inches outward all the way around. She realized I had not traced the elephant. I think that was the only real thing I ever drew that wouldn't mind bringing back. I don't know know what happened to that drawing either. Aside from drawing, I am a poet. I started writing when I was about ten. I have every poem I have ever written still. It's all in a notebook that I keep beside my computer.

That is cool that you drew an elephant once and I am sorry your mom thought you had traced it,and at least she saw you did not trace it,and I wish you could bring that drawing back because it sounds very nice,that is cool that you are a poet,that is cool that you started writing when you were ten,and that you keep all of them you have ever written in a notebook beside your computer,and do you have any poems you would like to share with me?Thanks for responding,have a great day,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting my friend.

I've watched Chalkzone with the kids and I like that show. I used to draw almost nothing but horses when I was a kid so yes, I would love to visit all those old horse drawings! I'd be surrounded by horses and maybe the ocassional bird, cat or dog but it was mostly all about the horses.
In fact, I hadn't done any drawing since I was a teenager until just last year when I started up again but mostly on the computer using MS Paint. I mean, I have tried drawing now with pencil and paper and I like it too but I usually do it with the computer.
I am lucky in that I have some of my drawings still from when I was a kid growing up. I am adding one of them to my comment here. I guess this one was a boy horse LOL

I am glad to hear that you like the show Chalkzone,and that you watch it with your kids,and that is cool that you loved to draw horses,because horses are very fascinating creatures,and that is cool that you would want to be surrounded by all your horse drawings,and that sucks that you had not done any drawings since you were a teenager,but I am glad you started back up again ,and yeah sometimes it is easier to draw on the computer than on paper,and thanks for sharing your drawing with me,and it is very very good,thanks for responding,have a great day,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting.

I would DEFINATELY bring'em back.
My mom used to say that, when I was a child, I could draw really well.. That, if I get a picture of something, I could copy it by drawing it just looking at the picture and so.
Nowadays, I suck at drawing, but my brother is really good on that. I hope he keep up with it. =)

That is cool that you would bring your draws back if you could my friend,and that is cool that your mom said that you could draw a copy of it just by looking at the picture,the only thing I was able to do that with was I drew a picture of R2D2 when I was a kid by looking at a figurine I had of him,I am sure you can still draw good,and I am glad your brother is good at drawing,and I hope he keeps up with it to,thanks for responding,have a great day,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting.
