    Can most people draw or sketch a fairly passable picture or is it just me that needs a ruler for a straight line?

    Never drawered before? Is it something new the kids are doing these days?

    I prefer cabineting myself.

    I thought this was about drawers not drawing. No, I can't draw a straight line using a ruler. Absolutely useless at drawing.

    My drawering is fairly nifty though. Solid wood fronts with pine backing is my specialty.

    I can draw a really nice penis after years of practice in secondary school.

    Thought this was going to be a thread about the Dinosaur Jr. song Drawerings:

    Shelving was popular when I was younger. It's where you use an ecstasy pill as a suppository.

    Used to be pretty handy with a pencil, but years of neglect means I'm probably only passable at this stage.

    Not just whip your own out and trace it?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 32,688 ✭✭✭✭ytpe2r5bxkn0c1


    Ah now there's a poll and it seems to be drawing as in drawing a gun as opposed to drawing a picture. What about the draw on the fire, or drawing a cart, drawing a crowd, drawing the curtains....

    Totally confused!

    All the good drawers are left handed

    It's so big I wouldn't be able to fit it on a sheet of paper.

    This seems to be a bit of a pressing subject.

    Or ambidextrous. :D

    That makes a change, you're usually shooting blanks...

    You should start drawing, you're very imaginative


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,453 ✭✭✭Shenshen


    I'm acceptable enough drawing comics - haven't done it in quite a while now. I've still got my comic book adaption of the Canterville Ghost lying around somewhere.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,689 ✭✭✭Karl Stein


    Rubbish at drawing. This is impressive drawing with fireworks.

    Pretty sure Ms Christy doesn't have a penis...of her own.

    Art class for me was sitting in the back with my friend eating Mars bars hidden under our desks and laughing. I'm 100% totally crap at art.

    In my second week of first year my art teacher told me I couldn't draw a straight line with a ruler and to just do homework for other classes.

    I wonder is the OP of British extraction? I've seen that spelling on British forums. Some of their local accents add an R sound after a vowel, so when saying drawing, they'll come out with drawRing. On the same word regarding furniture you'll also see a few of them spelling "drawer" as "draw", maybe because they realise they add an R in speech and reckon removing it when spelling is correct? Or when they pronounce "pattern" as "patten", or they'll add an R to the end of "idea" so it's "IdeaR", or "I sawR a ferrari(better than the Irish I seen a ferrari. That seen business does my bloody head in TBH)" Something to do with rhotic and non rhotic accents or somesuch. Annnnyhoooo...

    Yea I can sketch well enough. Used to be much better at it mind you. It's mostly practice practice practice.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,691 ✭✭✭Lia_lia


    I'm alright. Used to be great when I was younger, was always drawing. Got A in Honours Art in the leaving! :D

    I think this is what the OP is referring to

    I can draw the curtains, but that's about it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,673 ✭✭✭mahamageehad


    I'd be decent enough with a pencil, would depend on what I'm drawing though!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,077 ✭✭✭✭bnt


    I'm rubbish, my hands don't move the way my brain tells them to. One time, though, I was in the pub with a couple of friends, and after a few pints I just casually took out pencil and paper and sketched the guy sitting across from me. No idea why I did it, or why the results were so much better than when I was totally sober. :o

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    I can draw. Although I'd want to since I'm studying art and hope to become an illustrator some day.

    You aren't meant to use post-its for drawering.

    Thank you. I have no practical use for my drawings unfortunately, so I am always happy when somebody sees them.

    If you really want to mess with someone, draw them when they pass out at a party. Quick life drawings, do a bunch. Place them strategically and prominently around the room, then leave.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,404 ✭✭✭Lone Stone


    i know people who draw and it looks like a photograph never was able to do that sort of thing myself, i am a dab hand at the old animation though.

    Wow, some fantastic talent in here.

    I never really had any talents unfortunate. I doodle a lot but I can't draw anything nice!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,169 ✭✭✭The Peanut

    That's stunning.

    I am crap. Really crap. The quality of this drawing re-enforces how crap I am.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,734 ✭✭✭✭osarusan


    Can't draw anything beyond stick figures.

    I once taught English classes at an art university in Tokyo, and while most of the students didn't give a damn about English, they did give a damn about art. So in the English classes there were plenty who weren't really listen to me, they were just daydreaming and doodling away.

    I would be walking around checking what work, if any, they were doing, and some of the doodles would just take your breath away. incredibly talented stuff.
