I'm moving on with my drawing and have started doing some faces.  I don't know what to call the style... it's not Manga and it's not life drawing.  Little cartoon ladies?  I don't know.  They remind me of paper dolls, especially if I dress them in scrapbook paper dresses that I made. Whatever. I draw them and collage and then open my art box and throw everything at them.  haha. I have lots to learn but so far, I'm loving how they are turning out.

I've dabbled with a lot of things BUT I haven't drawn anything since the beginning of High School. I used to love drawing when I was a kid and drew all the time.  I loved Art class.  When I started High School at age 13, my father (who wanted me to leave school the following year) would not let me take any art classes (saying they were useless) and made me take Technical Drawing instead.  I hated it.
