I&#8217;ve always wanted to be good at drawing, because I&#8217;ve loved comic books and cartoons my entire life. When I was younger this lack of drawing talent didn&#8217;t stop me from drawing, or course. As the years went on, however, I got away from even attempting to draw more than stick figures.<\/p>\n<p>As I&#8217;ve gotten older, I&#8217;ve stopped letting the fact that I can&#8217;t do something stop me from doing that thing. Heck, I <a href=\"http:\/\/www.paulliadis.com\/blog\/2013\/03\/lego-table-complete\/\">built a coffee table on my own<\/a>. I can&#8217;t do that. So, I figured, why not give drawing another crack.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also found that art time is a nice way to fill time with my kids, especially when I want them to step away from the computer and television for a bit. It also helps that my daughter is already showing the artistic talents of my wife and quite enjoys drawing. She is better than me already. And I love that.<\/p>\n<p>So on Saturday afternoon, my son worked on a Lego sculpture, my daughter drew a really rad picture of Leonardo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and I drew Marceline from Adventure Time. Here is my pencil drawing, which I thought was pretty decent.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.paulliadis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/MarcelineNoColor.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.paulliadis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/MarcelineNoColor.png\" alt=\"MarcelineNoColor\" width=\"600\" height=\"682\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-635\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paulliadis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/MarcelineNoColor.png 600w, https:\/\/www.paulliadis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/MarcelineNoColor-263x300.png 263w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I thought it would look better in color. Here is where I admit I&#8217;ve never previously been able to take something I&#8217;ve drawn by hand, scan it, and successfully color it in Photoshop. It just always turns out bad. But again, I didn&#8217;t let that stop me. <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the finished, colorized product. Not bad, I think. Special thanks must go out to the artist that drew the image I modeled this after. If I can find the original, I&#8217;ll link to it. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.paulliadis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/MarcelineColor.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.paulliadis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/MarcelineColor.png\" alt=\"MarcelineColor\" width=\"600\" height=\"682\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-634\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paulliadis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/MarcelineColor.png 600w, https:\/\/www.paulliadis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/MarcelineColor-263x300.png 263w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m not a very good artist.
