Taking my kid to cons and now she is drawing up a storm!

[Bird]

I just cannot believe how taking my daughter to conventions is paying off. She pencils,inks, and then erases the pencil like a 14 year old pro. Here are her two latest,drawn freehand. I think I should keep her away from Ben Templesmith lest she begin to get squid obsessed.

She overworked the giraffe head I think. It looked better earlier.

 

Sorry if this is OT but Iam proud of the wee lass and wanted to show her work off. I am trying to get her to do a web comic with me and she seems about ready to agree.

[J DUB]

Wow. I am impressed! She is doing amazing work.

[Bird]

Thanks J DUB! She would kill me if she knew I posted these. She has no idea how talented she is. Thanks again for the kind words.

That is awesome!

 

Awesome that she's passionate

and her drawings are awesome too!

 

 

[ashrael]

Those are great!

 

Hmm, my 3-year-old daughter loves drawing, reading comics and always wants me to tell her stories about Spider-Man. I guess I need to start taking her to cons too!

Sean, that's wonderful work. Thanks for sharing.

[Bird]

Thanks everyone. And thanks for not hammering that this may not be the right place for it as well!

[James J]

Those look great......... (thumbs u

[Pete Marino]

Great stuff! I hope she keeps it up.

 

There's nothing quite like seeing the creativity of kids.

Very nice! The pieces remind me of Jeremy Bastian's work...especially the squid.

She has seen his work, but I was thinking more Templesmith!

Ha! Thanks Bryan. I will ask her and PM you sometime this weekend.

These are really good for artists of any age, much less 14.

 

Seriously, she's better than a lot of the guys with sketchcover opps. in the signature series room.

Thanks Chris. I actually got quite mad when she showed me these as I know how good she is but she will draw and draw and then not draw for months. I have learned to lay off a bit and suddenly there she is smiling with her sketchbook saying "Daddy look at what I drew."

 

She has colored that giraffe a few different ways now as well. Those cons taught her about the process of making art much more than any classes could, at least at her age,

 

She's 14, so she is still sleeping, but she will be overjoyed today at these comments. Thanks everyone.

 

And Ben Templesmith favored my tweet about her drawing squids as well! That was a laugh.

Hey! How did you know?

[kav]

as an artist i can say that is very good for 14.

the more she can watch pros draw the better she will get. thats why sean phillips son jake is getting so good-he has the master right there every day to learn from.
