My first (well second, first one not with me anymore) sketch after more than a dacade!!
I have never really been an innovative artist! But there were those days, when drawing and I were inseparable! (I am talking about high school days). What if most of them were not my own imaginations. The ideas were mine, so were the choices. Then came along a super busy stint of my life - Well it was really busy only for a few years - but then inertia intervened and I never went back to drawing! Now years after dropping my school pencils and crayons, I mustered all the courage and enthusiasm to pick a pencil again - just to see if my hands could still hold a pencil the way they could do, to see if my fingers could move on the paper to draw some identifiable!!
And the results are before you - A picture from the title page of one of my favorite books - "The Notebook" on a piece of A4 sheet with a sharpwriter pencil :P
Nowwwwww "To sketch or not to sketch" is a million dollar question. :-)
Good going Neelam! Not bad for a first (well, second) sketch in such a long time. As to ur dilemma, that's not even a question.. just go for it! You'll only get better with time. All the best. Enjoy sketching!
