I don’t think I have ever seen a piece of non photographic work entered in to the image of the week competition so I thought I would try it this week.
I must admit that the image I have produced was drawn from a photograph that was sent to me by a friend but it is completely hand drawn by pencil on paper with no mechanical aides ( light box or grids).
For a couple of hours work I am quite pleased with both it and myself!
i personally try to comment on most of the images I like to try and encourage creativity in this community but find that drawn or painted work gets little recognition and far fewer comments than a simple photograph.
Should we as non photographic artists sideline ourselves to a small corner of the community and ask for our own competition or should we just face it down and post amongst the photos in the hope someone will think us worthy of consideration?
