Digital drawings

Drawing has always fascinated me. Some things probably run in your genes. Some are inclined to music, some to sports, some to acting, some to reading and few are interested in many things. Why this happens no one knows. Maybe someone sitting up in the sky decides this as it happens in school where the teacher decides in which division the new student will join A, B, C, D, etc. To cut this story short I was put in the Drawing division by the teacher.

For me, drawing started in early childhood. Then the drawing medium was slate and pencil, not the lead pencil but this pencil can be called the younger sister of chalk😄used by the teacher to write on the big blackboard in school. As we graduated from primary school to higher classes the drawing medium became the last pages of the notebook and the ink pen.

Then the school started drawing classes for us. We had talented teachers who taught us to draw on proper drawing paper with drawing pencils. The most popular brand was Apsara pencil and it had many varieties like HB,2B,4B,6B. Everyone looked forward to the drawing period because it was a break from studies for most and something of interest for a few like me. Slowly we learned about watercolors, one of the major activities on weekends and during holidays was to draw and paint pictures. During engineering pencils changed from HB,2B to H,2H, and 4H for making sharp engineering drawing lines. The drawing pencils were left for our personal use only.

After many years I am now introduced to Digital drawing, the iPad, and Procreate. This is the beginning of new learning something I am looking forward to with all the eagerness. My first attempt is posted here.
