I agree with Leonardo -- you have talent. That’s a very graceful and attractive line drawing. I agree with Leonardo — you have talent.

You're—ahem—<i>paws</i>-itively awesome. Don’t make me have to shave my toe hair! ;)

In fact, I think I could say you <i>nailed</i> them. And I really feel like this drawing has hidden sole. You shouldn’t feel foolish about this drawing - I think your feet came out very well.

I once had a wise art teacher say he did a thousand drawings (paintings) before he was comfortable with them. My take away is that you just have to keep drawing to polish your raw talent. I have noticed too that I have days where I can do no (drawing) wrong and others where I couldn't draw to save my life. You have inspired me to start purposefully drawing more. Thanks Leonardo.

(meaning the drawing...because I actually hate feet. Actually I don't like my feet, but I love baby feet, and I don't mind other people's feet as long as I don't have to touch them and they don't touch me. Is that enough of a disclaimer?) Anyway, I think your drawing is awesome. Since I grew up barefoot along side you, I can say with some authority that your sketch is an acurate portrayl of your feet. Of course, no one can argue the opinion of Lacey, so next time draw more hair on your toes! :lol: Love it! (meaning the drawing…because I actually hate feet.

Once in an institute class he drew a violin, or viola since he played that in high school. I was surprised at how well it came out and we might still have it around somewhere. I think your feet turned out wonderful. I will say you need more hair on your toes though. ;) Jon has always impressed me with some of his random drawings.
