Drawings by Francesca - September '11

Here are some of Francesca's latest works. She have been very busy drawing everyday and I just have to preserve her works for her to see in the future.

Poptropica drawing

My eldest son, Zach is into playing Poptropica, an online game for kids, that is why his drawings are all about Poptropica characters.

Evolution of a 4 yr. old's drawing

My daughter, Francesca,  had been drawing even before she turned 4 but she was not that enthusiastic back then. I would seldom see her sit down and scribble on the paper or notebooks. Ahh I remember, she likes to do coloring most of the time (maybe next time I can post some of her coloring works).It was just recently that I would always find her busy drawing or scribbling her name. Actually she is already complaining that she needs a new set of notebooks and she needs a bigger size of paper. The two new notebooks we gave her are almost filled up and our A4 size bond papers are almost running out. I think it's time to replenish the supplies.

Here are some of her drawings.

One of the first drawings she did before turning 4 yrs. old.

A few of the first attempts to draw the family. 

The family, the improved version.

Ribbon and hands were added as improvements.

my favorite of all! I like the color combination.

My Family

Here is my son's first artwork for the year 2011 on his new drawing pad that we gave him for his 8th birthday. Very happy to say that he thought about drawing his family, no pressure from me, I didn't ask him to do this, *wink, *wink... yah right! I have always been asking him to draw one for me and he finally gave in :). That's why I am soooo thankful. This drawing made my day!

And now I present to you my FAMILY. 

Each one of us took turns in coloring this family pic.

And here is another family drawing my son did last 2010.

The First Brave Knight - Chapter Three

The 3rd installment of "The First Brave Knight". My son has now put names to the characters, haha , which makes it quite confusing now .. but hey, the kid just started writing... He told me that he did this in school on his free time and has been racking his brain to come up with ideas for his "chapter 3".  Awww... the effort. Good job,son!

The First Brave Knight - Chapter Two

As written above:

He had this armor from his father the Blacksmith his father said "your ready for battle".  So the brave knight went to battle, fighting the dragon and who wins the knight wins the battle now. They had feast together in the palace.

Chapter 3 coming soon.

Artwork - Hands

I am so thankful for the art module in my son's class. It has enhanced his drawing skills by the new techniques he learned and made drawing even more enjoyable for him. He now realizes his talent in drawing, maybe because of the praises he gets from his drawing,may it be from the family or from school. He knows now that when we say his drawing is "nice", it is the truth , and not because we said it just because we are his parents. He is even more motivated now to practice more and hone his craft. I may not have the talent in drawing but I am sure happy that my kids are having the knack for it.


Posting one of his artworks from school - "Hands".

The First Brave Knight - Chapter One

My son loves to draw, it is one of his pastime aside from computer gaming. But I was so surprised one day when my son showed me one of his works. He handed me his sketchbook and showed me this.

His very first try at story writing, it just amazes me :).
