I enjoy doing abstract/geometric type art and I use regular markers for my artwork that I do on posters and paper. I use fabric markers for designing tshirts and paint pens for just about everything else. Do you draw? What do you use to draw and what materials do you like drawing on? Is it a hobby for you or do you try to sell your artwork?

Yes i do Draw, but its quite different than your. I do AutoCAD Drawings. I do drafting , designing, modelling stuffs. Basically i do it for mechanical components, architectural firms and interior designers. [milestone]
That is awesome and yes it is different from mine which is great. I bet that your artwork is great since it is for commercial use. [kgwat70]
I'm not that good at it but I like to draw simple things, like butterflies and horse heads. Its more of a doodleing thing with me. But my boyfriend loves to draw and he is very good at it. He drew all the designs for the Christmas projects he made. Here is a picture he drew and then woodburned. He made it for a friend of mine who likes cows. [brendalee]
It is strictly art and not to eat food from right now. If someone wanted it to eat then yes a sealant would be a good idea. :-) [kgwat70]
I like art..but havent taken too much time to improve. I love to sketch with a pencil. :)+ [littlefranciscan]
That is great that you like art. I would like to learn to sketch and draw people and scenery and other things. [kgwat70]
I LOVE artwork!! I have tried my hand at drawing, etc, but I am not very good at it. So I do paint by number pictures LOL Those are very theraputic for me as well as being fun. I would love to have more developed art talent, but I am probably only about average. [Lillith]
it makes me think cool [nishithkota]
I do geometric art on eggs. :) But I also do other art and on eggs also. I love art! I have a huge passion for art! I have never tried doing any of my artwork on a tee shirt with fabric pen...but I may just have to try it in the future. :) What sort of things do you do on shirts? Do you have any pics of the shirts that you do? I would love to see some pics. I have seen that one geometric piece you did on your profile. I loved it! But I have not been able to go beyond an egg for the any type of geometirc art. I will have to take a pic of some of my eggs to post for ya. :) Besides doing eggs. I also draw, paint, and love photography. I love surrounding myself with art. It inspires me. My daughter is turning into a little artist. It is amazing what she comes up with and the talent that she has with her age! She is only 7 years old and in first grade. So maybe when she gets older, I will be able to get her into an art school for her high school....if she still has a passion for it. :) At this point I know why she loves art is because she so wants to be like mommy and draw and paint. [brokentia]
That is awesome! I love it! Wow! I know that had to take a long time to do the whole shirt. Because the process on an egg is time consuming, it can take me 4 days to a week to get the same thing done on an egg. I will have to see about taking some pics of my eggs and posting them. Thank you so much for posting those pics! I love looking at what others do!!!! [brokentia]
I love art but am so untalented in anything art like it's not even funny! I do appreciate it though, in many forms. Everything from abstract to historical and everything in between. The talent involved is something you must be born with I think. [hockeygal4ever]
I am a professional artist. I watercolor and I am a rare scissor cutting silhouette artist. I have customers around the globe. Look at my website, and tell me what you think. www.mgcreativearts.com Here is a short video, if you would like to see this done, it's cool to watch. http://mgcreativearts.com/Finall.wmv I would like to see your work. [margieanneart]
Thank you very much for your compliments on my artwork. It is nice to know that everyone likes what I draw. I have not had any formal training as I just started drawing away when I was younger and even made my bedroom have my artwork all over it like wallpaper. My aunt, who died a couple months ago, tried to get my artwork into the Art Museum but they declined it. Keep up the good work with your artwork as well as I enjoy looking at your work too. [kgwat70]
yes, i like art! :) i used to draw.. but i haven't done a single artwork for many years now... i like still-drawing, in-animate objects and such... i also like portraits! and nature! :) i've tried using pastel, pen, pencil, watercolor, and charcoal... [laptopchick]
The picture is of me working on a poster. I was using watercolor markers for the posters. [kgwat70]
i love drawing, i love painting, it doestn mean im perfect in it. when im in the train then i draw door windows sits and floor of the train. i also like draw from looking trees, people and animals and other i draw from my imagination. its only a hobby im not good at it, but i like to drw with pencil on a sharp brown or yellow paper. i would think of seling my computer art, like wallappers its much better than hand drawing in my case. [lauczi]
I love art.. unfortunately I cannot make the pictures I see in my head come out of a pencil or anything else! Everyone else in my family has fantastic drawing and painting skills and I missed out on the gene. I took a drawing course once, and was pleased with some of my results. I doodle here and there, but it becomes very frustrating for me so I don't try very often. [Slainte68]
I love art, especially African American art. I think all arts tell a story. That's what I like most about it. I wish I did have the gift to draw. [ilvrshn]
Well i love to draw faces and usually sceneries Its really great that u got an artistic taste and u have a great proficiency in abstract art [vipul20044]
I delight me to build Nativity Scenes. The only art that I like. I have written by the way also a discussion. [ross74]
I use to do sketches of human faces before when iwas in college and had free time. But nowadays because of less time i am unable to follow this hobby. [tmansoor0]
yes, i do love art. i draw different things, and i do my version of painting too. i like abstract and the mexican and native american arts inspire me, as well as asian's native designs. [kokopelli]
I do some drawing, but I mostly do sketches for paintings which is what I love to do. I want to try doing more drawing, but I don't have alot of to do it. I do sell my art mostly on Ebay and at my web site. [artguy]
i don't love drawing .but when i want to draw something i will draw sunrise and some supernatural things. [koustubh]
I darw and paint, I always have. I do portraits,landscapes, or whatever my head tells me to,lol.I normally use acrylics on canvas but adore watercolours as well, and ink,I usually mix medias that will mix! I sell something, if someone shows interest in a piece,I've tried ebay a couple times as well. [pendragon]
I love art of all types, but mostly more in the modern, though realistic, styles. I mostly do paintings, but I also do colored pencil drawings using Prismacolor and medium-weight paper. I usually do desert or southwestern landscapes or animals. Sometimes I do abstracts and semi-abstracts. Right now, it is mostly a hobby though I do sell from time to time, and occassionally show my work. My ACEOs seem to get the most attention. [desertdarlene]
Hi I love to draw.I like to draw on paper .I only do it as a hobby .Ive never tried to sell any of my drawings.Although it may be something I will do in the futher.Drawing is such a relaxing pass time. [jen20619]
I agree that it is very relaxing and it is a good way to express ourselves and show our creativity side of us. I started off just drawing on paper and built on that. I did try and sell my artwork but it failed so it is just a hobby for me now. [kgwat70]
I'm into the abstract stuff too.I don't really thinki'm tha good but find it very fun to do. I use pencils and markers.I'm about to buy some motorcycle parts and motorcycle accessories then draw and paint of them.I'm going to get come chalk soon and try that ou too. :D Your stuff is really good. You sell it? [JashleyB]
i love drawing. i like to draw things related to nature, I feel beauty lies in nature. You will always get something or the other to draw. [sudhir4441]
i love art. i usually draw when i have free time. but i just use pencil or pen and paper. i sometimes paint..when i have the money to buy the materials needed. i only do these stuff as a hobby..i don't intend to sell my work. i really find them fun to do. it is very relaxing and soothing. i love looking at colors..they have a certain effect when mixed and matched with one another. [nyka08]
I used to use water colour for painting but aftere marriage never could get anything completed. I sketch nmow and then. I have just joined cafepress and I am really planning to draw and sell my images there. I see a lot of really cool artwork on some of these newer rock music vids I know its on computers but I still like it. why dont you also try it out. I met another person on mylot who sell her work there.I think you should try that. [mansha]
yes i love drawing too but im not good at it.. never had the time to try it again.. soon maybe [bimmer999]
I like to sketch and draw manga characters once and awhile. It's just something I do for fun when I get bored. Sometimes I get fraustrated because I can't get my drawings to look very realistic. [jess_meow]
i love to do figure drawing. In real time, get caught up in the moment and act of drawing. With charcoal on newsprint. love to catch the beauty of the moment in figure drawing... getting good at it too! [cliffcliff]

[pufitza_mison]
whenever i get pen and paper in my hand ...i do draw but that is mostly absurd and has no meaning...but still while drawing i feel that i am creating a masterpeice [trialrun01]
yes i love art....it's a talent that expresses ur imagination....i used to redraw the comic charactes i read and have done some scenery paintings when i was a kid but gradually i lost touch with it [arvindsbabu]

i do like art but i'm not good at it i cant even draw the simple thing.. [jackf501]
I love yo paint and although I have considered selling my artworks, I dont have the self confidence. I am pretty traditional and boring, I like to use acrylic on canvas ( but I personalise it by using paper and writing beneath the paint to texturise the piece and provide lyers of hidden meaning even if the viewer never realises those layers are there.I like to draw pictures of my sports teams like Detroit Lions [megs85]
i always like drawing.sketching is my favourite hoby.but i am engineer so i also like drafting.i think you also know about drafting. for drafting we use drfter or t set etc.there is two type of drawing related with drafting.ed & md.ed means engineering drawing and md means machine drawing. i also use computer for drafting the software i use is auto cad software which means is computer aided drafting. [indisaini]
During hischool I'm intensly adicted in drawing. Ol r in 3d and i comonly use blak ordinary pen. I'm ravishd w/ dose drawings everytym i so dem. I've stopt drawing now. I'v lost da talent. [smirkingmonkey3]
Yes I love drawings, but not good in it. Just I try to sketch or say imitate picture of any flowers, animals small drawings etc whenever I am in table. It is not my regular job, but I love to do it. [pramodthakur]
Much. I paint. Oil paints. I only use the three primary colors and with them I make all. I make my paints from photografies I find here at internet. Also, I usually draw, cause one of the steps you must do before paint, is drawing, without details, but you must to do [verdurilla]
I draw a bit... on my computer, with a graphic tablet, a Wacom. And the software the GIMP ^^ [mewfree]
yes i love drawing about nature! [UPLANA]
Art is my salvation :-) Not sure where I would be without it especially when life gets difficult! I mostly draw and do lots of pen and ink as I design for the craft industry. If you watch Japanese Movies you can see that its a lot of drawing like anime.I paint a little and use photoshop, painter and illustrator, all great tools to develop composition and colour skills. Art in all its forms is a totally absorbing activity for me and I love it that there is SO much to learn. I hope that as my grandchildren get older I can teach and share with them the delights and challenges of creating all sorts of things and that art comes from observation. [myslewis]
Art is not one of my talents. I did pretty good in high school though. So, I don't really draw anything. I love to draw my favorite kind of art is Abstract Art [Lydia1901]
i like drawing....im using pastel color [k3tk3t]
Glad to hear that you enjoy drawing. Pastels are nice to use. What type of artwork do you draw? [kgwat70]
I only draw assemblies for machines. My dream is to design fastest car and motorbike in the world. [Aditya_2050]
I've always wanted to be able to paint. I never had any formal training, just tried doing it on my own. My biggest problem was also trying to get something to turn out like I could see it in my head...my skill and knowledge was not up to the task! It would get very frustrating! I took up decorative painting as it is quicker to learn and you can get a painted result in a fairly short amount of time. I did some artwork for my French Cookbooks it came out pretty good if I say so. I tend to have a limited attention span as I get older, also!LOL! Part of my difficulty in painting, was I wasn't trained in drawing, either. All I know about perspective and such, I have picked up by being a cake decorator for the past 25+ years. I have done a few paintings on canvas, though. All of my stuff is here http://www.picturetrail.com/estherlou and I sell stuff with some of my artwork on it here http://estherspaint.com [estherlou]
I don't draw. but i'm an art lover. I love abstract drawings and admire vangough's painting. [cyndhirella]
I like to draw still life and realistic drawings/portrait. I use water colours and colored pencils for my drawing and paintings sometimes I paint on T-shirt using fabric coloured pens and sometimes air brush with fabric paint. For me it is more of a hobby. [artsychic]
