Which is encouraging, except that Bob Ross never met me. Sometimes it seems that I make nothing but mistakes.
But I'll admit that sometimes, even though I see all sorts of things wrong with my drawings, and they never turn out quite the way I intend, there can be a sneaking sense of satisfaction, too.
Here are two of my accidents from this month so far. I tried scanning one rather than taking a photo of the sketchbook, even though that cut off a little bit from the right of the page.

My son and I love the Scary Harry books about the grim reaper Scary Harry and his friends.
The illustrations in the book are pure line art (and really good).
So i thought about creating a colored version of one character there in my own style.
This is what I came up with, Vincent the ghost bat in my style in pastel.
Of course I had to give him the right accessory.

My son and I made a little drawing challenge with a friend.
The topic was creepy.

Drawing bodies is much harder than I thought...

But thank you for joining this thread. I hope we'll see more from you, and from others who may be hesitating.
Drawing anything at all is, I regret to say, just as hard as I thought it would be, for me. I'm struggling with faces, still, but need to struggle with other things as well, I know.
Regardless, here is a sketch with charcoal pencils and white Conté to start off the month. Neither the degree of realism nor the resemblance to the original that I want to achieve, but at least it's practice. And trying to make the braided hair look like braided hair was interesting.
