How To Draw

I was curious after my last blog about drawing manga or cartoons so i order a couple of books to see how difficult this is to do. Also to answer my own question "is it art". The first book I ordered is How To Draw Chibi. This book was very easy to follow with well written instructions as well as illustrations. I think this book is very good for beginners as well as young children who show an interest in drawing. The last time I remember drawing was probably in elementary school approximately 30 years ago, so my drawing are probably still at that level. Mind you, I don't have much imagination at my age, which is something most artist tend to hold on to. I definitely admire any type of artist who is capable of creating . Here is a few drawings I did. I should have taken more time but I just wanted to see if I could draw anything by using these books. I also learned they have starter manga drawing kits which include all the tools I didn't have. I used an old drawing pad one of my kids had from school and a permanent marker to do my outline. I did however find that in adobe 3.0 there is a tool to fill in the color. I'll also include links for where i bought the books as well as the other drawing tools. I'd love to see your work as well.
