Sketch by me at 16 years old. I was really into motorcycles at this time, did a sketch at school, during art class, this was not the subject we were supposed to do, but did it when the teacher was not looking, he caught me doing it though, boy did I get in to trouble!! Was supposed to be drawing some sort of flower arrangement.!!

stunning job petey!!!!!!!!!!!!! love this very much:)
i bet you were think _______________ those flowers:) lol:)
Super drawing ! Love it
This is wonderful. You are very talented.
Master of none, I think not!
Thanks for the love and comment BELLIN68, you are also quite right, I did think that. Just found another motorcycle sketch I did in art class, (which I did not get caught doing!! don't know if they are classed as collectable on here, or not?) Is it some sort of world wide punishment, in art class, that you HAVE to sketch flowers or fruit!!!
Thanks for the love and comment Manikin!
Thanks for the love and comments nldionne!
Thanks for the love officialfuel!
Thanks for the love mustangtony!
Thanks for the love blunderbuss2!
I hope you followed up on your Drawing ability petey. That is a Super Good Drawing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where was this in Birmingham? Is it a self portrait?
Thanks musikchoo, I never did carry on much with it after I left school.
Thanks for the love vetraio50, and 1mrmajestic1.
vetraio50, I do not know where photo was taken, just copied from a photo, in a magazine under my desk, still have the magazine!!! I have added photo.
Well done, petey! Great drawing. Great mag monthly too. Gliders in the background. Emblematic of the time. Easy riders and gliders!
Thanks vetraio50, can't believe I kept them all this time, but I suppose all collectors are reluctant to throw anything away!
Now that beats a still life any day, that teacher should have encouraged you not reprimanded you.
I think you should pick up the pencil again you are very talented.
Thanks for the love pops52 and walksoftly, Thanks for the comment walksoftly, when I retire I might have a go at sketching again.
petey . lol i knew it because i was thinking the same thing when your teacher was acting crazy> over some hot and stunning drawing :) these are collectable and im so glad you didnt get caught on the other :) dude i d love to fill in that blank above for you in CAPS:) LOL:) stunning job on this :) YOU GET TRIPLE AAA+++ FROM ME:)
This is Amazing!!!! You have a gift dont stop drawing.
Wonderful drawing, petey!!! Surprised teacher didn't issue a bemused exhortation to execute the fruit/flowers lessons AND at the same time praise this drawing highly. Possibly he was worried that you'd turn into a motorcycle hood? Don't understand. But know that this is very fine work!
Thanks for the comments BELLIN68, bratjdd, and miKKoChristmas11
