Yep, it's just a standard #2 pencil that our local grocery store (Publix) gave my son for school supplies.

Brilliant @steempowerpics! You have done the contest proud with the time you have taken and the effort you have put in. I have been distracted by other matters a bit more than I had intended or would have liked this week and haven't been able to get as many people involved as last week but I hope to get a bit more interest and a few more entries over the next couple of days.
My apologies my friend!
I will of course be upvoting and resteeming your excellent post and hope that it helps attract some more attention to your blog!
Hope your day is going well as always!

Hey Tony, Thank you. I totally understand life getting in the way of plans and ambitions from time to time. I'm happy I was able to accomplish all 3 for you so others can follow you're lead on learning to draw.
My son had watched me draw the Homer D'oh-nut entry and that inspired him to draw a Minion and a Minecraft character based of his toys. I plan on posting them on Wednesday for the yellow colorchallenge.

Thanks - that was a quick 5 minute sketch on my coffee break - we don't have very good pencils here so I'll follow along and enter other contests when I have a better pencil and paper. I'll get my kids to enter too. They don't have Steemit accounts so can the enter under my account?

I see we had similar techniques for starting the sketch and both opted for a white background - would have burned through the whole pencil trying to shade it all in. Nice job. :-)

You're welcome. I figured I'd give it one more try to get some eyeballs to the contest page. Hopefully next time around we will get more support.
I joined the steemit discord group the other day ( I had no idea what it was) in order to enter a b/w photography contest I have a post for. That might be a good place to promote the contest and get entries next time. It has a channel for contests. This is the link I used to join from his contest post https://discord.gg/CFJ97HW

Another fantastic entry @steempowerpics! You are really, really talented and have done the contest proud with both of your entries so far and also the posts you have made in support of them.
I'm sure some of our other entrants will be able to learn a few things from your efforts and are looking forward to seeing your third entry.
I am really pleased that you are having fun and have rediscovered your passion for drawing my friend! That wss the reason I decided to start the contest so it is really rewarding to see it working out for yourself and others. I recently rediscovered my own passion for drawing and though I don't have as much time as I would like to devote to it, I am glad of any spare time I can find to pick up the pencils again!:)

Great news @offgridlife! The amount would have gone up by that amount because others would have voted and it would refresh with the new total. I myself only have a 5cent reward so I would think yours would be less than mine but it all counts my friend and the more active you are here the more rewards you will be able to give to others. You will learn how things work around here very quickly buddy and everyone is very helpful so don't be afraid to ask questions! :)

I can't draw hair, hands or eyes for some reason they always look out of whack. I will glad accept any tips or hints available. :D Like I said I've always liked to draw but have never been good at it.
I tried, to learn by tracing other drawings but didn't help me when I went to do free hand, hopefully I can get some tips to help me at least improve a bit.
I don't expect to make a living at it or anything but I'd love to draw a picture of my family that actually looks like my family or of something that actually really looks like the item I'm drawing. :D
Look forward to some helpful tips on this picture. I tried to draw the other two but I made Sir Connery look horrible and that poor gal doesn't look much like the sample picture either. LOL. :D

It is a difficult skill to master to be sure but as someone said to me lately, practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect! :)
As with anything else, the more you do something and the more structured you are in your approach, the more you will be rewarded with improvement. I am sure that if you keep taking part over the next few weeks you will be able to look back at this entry and see the improvement you have made.
Drawing is a tentative and slow process at times. It cannot be rushed. I would advise you to start by printing out the image and and use your tracing paper only to gauge the distances between the different points of the drawing. For example, make a small dot or x at the extremities of each feature rather than tracing the whole thing and when you have made all of the marks you feel you need to, then freehand it like a dot to dot drawing. The marks should only be a guide to help you at first but they should all be in the right place and give your picture the right proportions. When you have done this a few times and feel comfortable, try doing it freehand only and hopefully you will have gained a better understanding of the proportions of your drawing!
You still have two more entries available to you and I would be happy to accept three entries of the beginner image so why don't you give it another go and see if you can improve on your original!
I would love to see the result!! ;)

Okay here are attempts number two and three:
Let me know what you think... :D

#3 is on the right path. The hardest part about drawing at first is letting go of what "we think things look like" and forcing our minds to accept and see what is actually there.
I still have problems with drawing hands and fingers, it's one of my mental blocks 20 years in. Even on my Homer entry, I see his hand and fingers being out of proportion to the rest of it - but I only see it after it's done, not while i'm working on it.

That is very good advice....the only way to get good at something is to keep trying, funny how I always told and still tell my kids that but I get so frustrated with myself when I can't do something as well as I think I should...
I might just take you up on that and see if I can do better, or at least not worse, on the other two. :D
