"Goaty Goat" Ink Sketch and Maybe a Giveaway?? Let's Remember Why You Draw in the First Place!

Published 2023-07-30
Having a bit of fun while I talk about drawing and why we do it, and how I keep it fun. Oh, and there might just be a giveaway... or is this clickbait? Hmmm...

  • I guess if there was a take away from this video it'd be, if you want to continue to progress in your drawing skills, you need to keep it fun sometimes. Make sure to take the time to draw those things that got you picking up a pencil in the first place. It's too easy to put that pressure on ourselves to have every drawing that we do be harder and more complicated than the last. That's fine for a while. But doing nothing but that causes burnout and saps all the fun from our pencils. I'm probably most proud of the paintings that were tough and displayed some mastery with my technique. But the paintings and drawings I'm most fond of are those ones I sat down and had a ball doing. Make space in your life for both... you'll be goat you did! Sorry, I meant, you'll be glad you did!
  • Drawing is great fun. Watching you draw that goat was great entertainment! Thanks!

    I love the drawing you did of the cowboy on his horse. The silhouettes are so strong because of the dark forms, in front of the white cloud, in front of the dark sky. Separating silhouettes of objects is so important and it's always a treat to see someone consciously doing it. Also, those watercolour pens are pretty sweet. ;)

    Such an inspiration! Love your videos. I typically learn so much. DRAWING is sometimes my favorite part! Used to have goats and sheep…goats are funny with their individual personalities…and they’ll eat ANYTHING! …even tires…lol. Good luck to everyone on the DRAWING!

    It's so nice of you to share your gifts from you drawing 😊
  • Fun! Best goat drawing I've seen today (ok, only). But still you may be the goat artist g.o.a.t. 😲🤣

    I used to have dairy goats - you NAILED it! They are so smart and lovable! Like dogs! I stacked a bunch of tires for them to play on - so fun!

    Drawing, drawing, Drawing! I love your drawing, very inspirational. Thank you so much for sharing..
  • Hi Steve.... of course I would be interested in one of those sets! Thanks for the offer and if I win maybe it will get me back into more traditional "DRAWING" again. My work has kept me in the digital end of things, but as you know there are deadlines to meet and digital makes that much easier. I've never had goats but a neighbor has them and I've seen them do some serious, high jumping too. Great illustration, maybe you should offer that to a possible winner too! Have a great Summer and stay cool.
