My Auntie @debbiwash just sent me this photo of a drawing I did for her, which she said was dated on the back 2005! (Id of been about 11 or 12) . When people tell me they can't draw I'd like to be able to point them to the early drawings of any artist, and point out that it's hard work and practice practice practice that make for solid improvement. If you give up, you'll never get better. (Though of course having an interest and enjoying the process also helps) . This drawing was of @tutburycastle as were a lot if my early drawings. I grew up in Hatton (at the bottom of the hill) and the castle was a constant view throughout my childhood. It's also fitting that in a few short weeks I will be getting married there. 💚 💜 🖤 #2005 #throwback #artistthrowback #wheniwas11 #childhoodmemories #memorylane #artist #childhood #tutburycastle #castle #wedding #marriage #hatton #tutbury #derbyshireartist #development #nevergiveup #motivationmonday #motivation https://www.instagram.com/p/B721EwOFb97/?igshid=wqez1osfdlro
