Did you make something? Do you want the fleeting rush of endorphins that come with affirmation from strangers? Do you think what you made is neat? Share it here!

Paintings, movies, music, drawings, models, gardens, houses, snowmen, sandcastles - if you made it, you can post it.

RULES:

Some things you make are not to be shared. These include:

Do not be a jerk.

- No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, classism, or bigotry of any kind.

- Don't try to sell stuff unless people ask. You can post your Etsy (or similar) if someone prompts you. No spamming self-promotion.

I haven't drawn in years, and I recently started doing it again, I am particularly proud of this little willow I drew

I love your art style and try to emulate that sort of thing myself.

Did you choose pen because of not being able to consider erasing your work, or was it just that a pen was all you had at hand? I heard that learning to draw with pencil is really just learning to selectively erase; what do you think?

I only had a pen, it's actually drawn in 1/4 of a letter sheet, behind a company pamphlet lol, I used a scanner app to up the contrast.

The thing about drawing with pen is 5hat you can usually cover the mistakes with more lines xD

Yes, that is true! I will keep the contrast tip in mind for when I send friends my art :O
