I sooo do not believe dreams should come true.

NOT!

Here are some recent (last couple of weeks) drawings by DD9. I will probably not leave these up long.

great drawings ultramarina! I love the detail

oh wow, i'm so behind on these! amazing, all of them.

frannieandejsmom - just... wow. Frannie's piece is literally bursting with energy.

squishys - this IS a fun one, isn't it? i love the food one with the pretzel - very tricky and everything is so carefully rendered. i think indigo nails it there - there's just so much time and effort put into all of these!

Ametrine, i think the reddish thing is the slope of the grassy area as it comes down toward the water. there's a bit of colour variation in there that got a bit messy for DD5 when she realized it might come out the same shade as the railings - she wound up making that area lighter, rather than darker (except for those top bits). with such a limited range of colours in her case, contrast is worrying her these days - i think i'll have to get her a better pack of pencil crayons soon!

ultramarina - holy! those are INCREDIBLE. i love the cat one especially - there's so much personality and life in that one.

keep 'em coming, folks!!

dg, frannie, squishy, ultramarina, those are some amazing works, well beyond what a typical age peer could produce. VERY IMPRESSIVE!

dg, I have been meaning to post my DD's artwork but it is taking some time to first locate them, then make sure there are no identifiers. Also, many of hers are videos as the final product doesn't quite match the thinking process but I don't want to post videos. Sorry but I will have something posted soon.

looking forward to it, Lovemydd!

and... more mathy goodness from DD5 today - an exploration of Necker cubes!

Okay, here's the Pandors Clonkacoris.

Some of this is off the pic. That's "Eye Drop Free" on the far left. The joysticks control the gauges on each of their respective sides.

As you can see, he's still very enthralled with measurement by gauges.

(He said the word Pasant's is patients.)

This is just one of multiple drawings DS comes up with for his "inventions". He has so many, I had to get a special file that hangs from his bedroom door to store them all in.

Oh, did I mention DS' strength is NOT in drawing? LoL

doubtfulguestt, your DD has absolutely incredible fine motor control and precision for 5. My DD was far ahead in this area at 5 and there is no way she could have done that then. Even now, she would do that somewhat better, but not a LOT better.

Love seeing all these gorgeous works! I apologize for being too lazy to start up a new account somewhere to share pics from.
