Hello I just started drawing about a month ago after doing nothing for about 30 years,I always thought about drawing and painting but never hade the time(what a copout hey) but im going for it lol.Tell me what you think.the paper is just cheap dollar store stuff i have to get some better paper but its juat a doodle.

I think your getting right back on track, nice doodle.
I have a drawing challenge going this week, come join us.

excellent done

Very Nice

Metric, great that you're getting back into drawing. Lots of people take breaks from art then come back stronger than ever.

Blackberries are wonderful objects to draw, full of shape, texture and values.

My initial thought on seeing this is that your drawing skills are good in terms of creating the shape that is berries and branches. You need to concentrate on values in this drawing. I don't see a strong light source. Yes, you have highlights on some of the globules of the berries, but not others and there is no shading on the branches or thorns that reflect where the light is coming from.

I think you could also go a lot deeper in the shading to indicate the roundness of the individual globules that make up the berry. I'd also suggest that you buy some good quality drawing paper 70 or 90 lb, a kneaded eraser is useful too. With copy paper, its difficult to get many layers and you often run out of tooth before you're finished your drawing.

You're heading in the right direction, just a few adjustments in this one and you're home free.

I agree the drawing needs a light source ...and a richness to the colors .. for blackberries you would use more then just one color ..play around and do not be afraid of the darker tones ...you want these berries to pop out !
