Forums _ Art _ Childhood drawings
Posted by: ms-jojo Mar 23 2008, 07:24 PM
I've noticed that many of the members here at cB are super talented artistically, with all your graphics, photography, and so on. So I was wondering how your drawings from back in the day look.
Now, I've never really been good at art, but it wouldn't be right for me to start this thread without posting up some of my own work! So here are some from when I was 5...
1. My self-portrait
2. A picture of... my mom (?) decorating the Christmas tree. I don't know what the hell I wrote in the caption box.
3. Butterflies
And just as a little extra, here's a picture a 7-year-old boy drew for me at SFU Summer Camp 2006. It's supposed to be a mouse so caught up in chasing a piece of cheese, he didn't see the "DANGER" sign and is going to fall off a cliff soon.

haha. great thread :D

LMAO!!!
I like the one with the cheese.....hehe

Aw dang these are so cute! I gotta find some of mine... haha. I would think this belongs in art, but I feel it deserves more attention. The art subforum is kinda bare, like a desert. :c

I agree with Michelle - moved to Art.
But aw, cute! I wanna find some of mine now.

OMG. Those are so adorable! I like the Christmas tree one.
Posted by: ms-jojo Mar 24 2008, 12:49 AM
Hm, you know what? Seeing as nobody's posted their own yet, I'll post another one of my drawings up to keep the ball rolling. =D
This one is from an art class when I was about 6/7?
... I made my mom look like she has a bruised face. Damn those felt pens!

Wow, that's some pretty crazy angst for an 8 year old...
Posted by: TaintedSakura Mar 25 2008, 05:29 PM
This made me remember how much I used to draw pictures for my mom when I was younger... I miss
Posted by: SilentLaugh Mar 25 2008, 05:32 PM
lmao!i love the last one!
i dont know where all my drawings are =[
Posted by: ms-jojo Mar 25 2008, 05:35 PM
Uhh, here is a series of drawings on frogs I did in the same art class at age seven:
1. The art instructor always told us to pick verbs and draw them... so yeah. xD
2. This was some sort of story I made up about a frog and his lady friend. I THINK it went like this: Frog leaves lady friend. Frog comes back begging for mercy but lady friend declines offer. Lady friend bounces back to frog, and frog happily takes her. How I came up with this at that age, I have no idea.
3. My one actual somewhat realistic drawing of a frog. I think the art instructor was right behind me when I did this, and I was deathly afraid of her... so I just copied what was in the book in front of me instead of drawing my own kind of thing.

Posted by: tungmyBANANA Mar 26 2008, 09:01 PM
Haha, those drawings are so cute Joanne.
Posted by: ms-jojo Mar 26 2008, 09:04 PM
Thanks, Tung! You should post up some of your artwork from back in the day...
Poo, only Michelle and myself have posted drawings so far. Though, Mark's journal entries are way awesome. 
Posted by: ChaseTheDragon Mar 26 2008, 09:15 PM
I drew this when I was in my mother's uterus.
Posted by: ms-jojo Mar 27 2008, 01:11 AM
^ Hahahahahaha, nice.
Anyways... one more for now. I mentioned earlier that my scary art teacher asked us to draw actions. This one's one of my favourites because it made me look so STUPID. Every time my sister sees it she falls over laughing. =( So anyways, this is what eating looked like to me.

I couldn't find things from when I was super young, but I did these in elementary school :P
Drew it, scanned it, colored it on PSP.
Drew on an oekaki board.
These were from early intermediate school :|
I had a thing for anime :P
Posted by: Joanne Mar 12 2009, 08:32 PM
Whoa, impressive! Totally puts me to shame.
Posted by: Tung Mar 12 2009, 08:34 PM
look @ joanne so happy her topic got bumped 
Posted by: Joanne Mar 12 2009, 08:35 PM
Well technically, I bumped it. But hey, contribution is awesome!!
Posted by: ect Mar 12 2009, 08:35 PM
No way lol. If I found drawings from when I was really really young, it'd be something to laugh at xD
Posted by: gojira Mar 17 2009, 04:12 AM
wtf @ joanne not thinking frogs are ugly but whales are.
Posted by: Joanne Mar 17 2009, 12:07 PM
I had to draw frogs... my art teacher made us draw them for the whole entire year, pretty much. And that was before my fear of whales. 
Posted by: Joanne Oct 12 2009, 09:42 PM
BUMP. How is it possible for this thread to have almost 3000 views, but only 40 replies?
If I have you on Facebook, you've probably already seen these.
I was a fan of Pokemon.
And I didn't like smokers.
