The Webbit Artist

---

Well this is it!   My adventure into Web Page artwork!   And I'm about to share it with you.

Let's try to do something that is creative, that is all our own.

When you create your own illustrations you don't have to worry any more about copyright infringements, and this is particularly important if your Web Pages are to be used for commercial purposes.  By the way, if you copy a recognizable character, like the dog I drew here, in essence the conception of the character belongs to someone else, so you cannot claim the copyright for yourselt on such drawings.

The illustration of a goat at the top of this page is one of my attempts at learning to draw.  Like all great artists, I am starting out by copying the Masters.  I drew the goat freehand from an illustration in a cartoon book on Footrot Flats.  I have absolutely no art training and I have always believed that I have no special artistic talent, so if you also feel that way, then it is no excuse, because if I can do it, then perhaps you can, too.

The goat drawing was first sketched in pencil, and then I drew over the main lines with a fine black marker, providing some shading with brown and yellow markers and pencil.  I scanned the drawing into my computer with a Logitech Scanman Color Handheld Scanner.  The original goat drawing is actually about 6 inches long, and I resized it down to fit the Web Page.
 

Well, the adventure has begun!  Stay in touch and I'll keep you informed about my progress. Click here for my critter drawings  Also some more critters here Here's a tracing of a baby using a light box Drawings of children, a frog and a bird This one explains how I drew a fish
