I think the pig is cute and smart and fun to draw. I just got a book on animal anatomy the other day - so will start drawing the legs, bones etc. these are not pretty by themselves - but when put together look pretty good. The anatomy drawings I think I will keep to myself till I get the hang of it all.
I love animals - so animals it is. I can see I will need to learn the anatomy for all of them - you know - legs, feet, tails etc. I figure as long as I keep drawing the better it is - and then I can try other subjects. I love to draw people's faces - but they all end up looking the same -but people are fascinating. I will not give up but probably will not be a portrait artist. There are always flowers, landscapes and still lives to challenge me - with an occasional face thrown in - to check if any improvement is coming along.
I've started sketching everyday which I feel is breaking down the artistic block - like an apple a day helps to keep us healthy - I can feel my artistic yearnings returning like a slow burning ember - I'm sure there will be good days and bad. But the thing is to just do it. I realize doing my art is as important as any regular spiritual practice is for my soul.
