For today's Friday Face OFF link party
of art featuring faces, hosted by Nicole of
DVArtist, Art, Food, Gardening blog . . .
Here's that camel drawing
I was working on a couple of weeks ago,
as some of you spotted in a previous post's photo --
A face only a mother could love!
[Freehand drawing on brown kraft paper
done directly in black ink pen, white ink pen,
and black ink wash with brush]
I drew it from this internet meme --
If I were doing it again, I don't think I would use
all that white ink on the camel's muzzle.
I got carried away and overdid it.
But at least it got me back in the swing of drawing again!

Oh my goodness, you are such a great artist! I am a non fiction gal remember, truth only for me! By the way, remember everything reminds me of a song? Ralph McTell wrote "Camilla, the Camel". Check it out, you will love it!
ReplyDelete@ Kay G. -- I listened to it on YouTube and yes, it's SO charming! Kind of like the camel version of Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Thanks for telling me about it, I have never heard it before.
DeleteWell, you know I did a post and have a link to you! Hope that's okay!! Ralph McTell is famous with guitarists! He is from Croydon, England, same as Richard.
DeleteWell Hello!
ReplyDeleteThis is super art Debra 🤩
ReplyDeleteLove it 🥰
Happy weekend 🐒
Good morning. You are a really good artist, Debra. It's always fun to see the pieces you have done or are working on. Happy Friday-xo Diana
ReplyDelete...hello, good looking.
ReplyDeleteI love it!!!! And yet another perfect greeting card to send someone you haven't talked to in some time.
ReplyDeleteOhhh
ReplyDeleteIt’s very cool! You do have a way with the … FREEHAND drawing????
XOXO
Awwww, this is too cute!!!! Very well done!
ReplyDeleteReminds me, Cairo 1993 or such. My then boy-friend insisted on riding a camel. Little did I know it was the last money of the day and... hence we could not visit the pyramids, which you still could back then.
Still could bite my butt for that.
Well done. I wish I could draw, so that it looks like something recognizable:)
ReplyDeleteI'm not a mother (insert derogatory cliche here), and that camel is ADORABLE.
ReplyDeleteI love it!
ReplyDeleteI love this guy. And the white too. I think you captured the camel perfectly!!! What a fun drawing. Happy Friday. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteWell my dear friend. You never cease to amaze me with your art. Free hand, on craft paper in ink. Really? Are you just trying to show off. (Just kidding and being funny sarcastic) Your art is beyond brilliant and there doesn't seem to be too much white from my eye. Drawing a camel face on and getting all of the features in proportion is a skill that only an established art can create. Always impressed with your skills as an artist. Thank you for sharing with FFO and have a very nice weekend.
ReplyDelete@ DVArtist -- The same teacher who told me to draw directly in ink also showed us how good white ink looks on brown kraft paper. I must say that drawing directly in ink puts the fear of god into me.
DeleteYes, I did notice this in a previous post and it's amazing! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI think the camel is adorable; love the sweet expression. Ya Did Great!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful artwork Debra! Lovely and cute. have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteWell done!
ReplyDeleteYou are so talented!
ReplyDeleteHello Debra, I think the extra white in your camel's muzzle make him look quite distinguished, like the photo camel's grandfather.
ReplyDelete--Jim
This is wonderful, Debra. What a talent you are.
ReplyDeleteWell done, I love it!
ReplyDeleteAwesome camel sketch ~ Wow!
ReplyDeleteThat actual camel is pretty cartoony-looking. If anything, your version is more "lifelike."
ReplyDeleteYou've captured the camel's goofiness perfectly!
ReplyDeleteWell, I have to tell you ... you brought a smile to my face. Your camel is a hoot and expertly done I have to say. Talent is hard to come by and you seem to have captured it. So, I don't remember thinking of camels as funny looking, but they sure are, right? Awesome art, Debra ...
ReplyDeleteAndrea @ From the Sol
That is such a cute picture.
ReplyDeleteDear Debra, you are a fantastic artist. I absolutely love ❤️ this.
ReplyDeleteWell hello Debra!
ReplyDeleteThis is exquisitely done - I love this camel. Such a great face. You did a fantastic job and the facial expression is wonderful!
Oh this is AWESOME! You're so talented!!
ReplyDeleteCamel faces are super cute
ReplyDeleteAdorable camel! The white makes him look like a camel of a certain age... lol
ReplyDeleteIt’s wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThe white on the camel makes it look like a senior :-)
ReplyDeleteWell Hello indeed. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteWell hello, you incredible artist! Well done, Debra!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun camel. My parents had lamp like that, and if I recall it was black in color.
ReplyDeleteGreat drawing! I have only seen camels in a circus 60+ years ago and that's when I learned they can spit at you quite viciously, thank goodness I wasn't in the first row. That camel was having a very bad day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great fun... 🐫 a good drawing indeed. Thank you for sharing and for hosting. Thank you too for leaving a nice comment.
ReplyDeleteHi Debra! You did an AWESOME job with that camel, so thank you for sharing. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteImpressive. So much personality!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could draw. That could be the new challenge I am looking for but it would help if I even had the tiniest bit of talent. I'm so jealous of those of you who do.
ReplyDeleteWell, I still think it could be a dragon! Great drawing though.
ReplyDeleteHello, nicely done!
ReplyDeleteOh wow. You camel is terrific!
ReplyDeleteoh my word! you captured that expression perfectly. (I often feel the way that camel looks myself)
ReplyDeleteLeeAnna
