Starting to draw again

Colombia
June 22, 2020 9:56pm CST
To kill the time, I made a drawing today. I used to draw everyday when I still worked as an illustrator. I stopped drawing after I moved to Colombia. Now I think I will start drawing again. That's one of my passions. So, today I drew frogs. I will show it to my husband tomorrow as he's already sleeping. What do you think about my drawing?

This drawing is very good, I like it, interesting mix of colors of the background, similar to those of the two frogs, very well done.

Nice drawing with an interesting composition. What's the first frog trying to do anyway? And that lazy frog seems to be waiting for the first one to fail in whatever it is trying to do. :D

@Miss_Leafy oh... :) sometimes when you let your hands draw without really thinking... a story could form on its own. :D. Looking forward to seeing more of your drawings. :D

@jrlcentral yes, I think so. Sometimes I don't think about anything when i draw.

Thanks. I have no idea of what the 2 frogs are doing. I just aimed to draw 2 frogs in different pose.

Beautiful illustration. The frog at the bottom seems to be relaxing while the other frog is finding it tough to climb a rock .

i like the concept - one frog laying down, one climbing. how did you learn to draw? is that what you studied in college/university?

@Miss_Leafy it's good you were able to get a job as an illustrator even if it's not the degree you studied. some companies have that requirement.

@Miss_Leafy I thought artists in general never need to practice? Whenever they are in the mood, they will just create master pieces? (I love to be able to draw beautiful like you!)

@YrNemo I'm not sure what artists do. But as far as I know everyone needs a lot of practice before becoming professional
