The Art of Drawing by Anthony Freddes
                                   Period 6
The art of drawing it starts with a sketch,
Then blooms into something much bigger.
A dog playing fetch, a kid playing catch,
No matter the image it begins with a sketch.

It might take awhile but be patient,
It will eventually come to be.
That masterpiece that sketch that once was,
Now is a beautiful and wonderful piece.

Lets not jump ahead though,
One step at a time.
After the sketch comes the vision of life,
Not your life but the life of your art.
This vision comes not from the mind,
It comes from the heart.

The vision is needed to complete that plain sketch,
Once you have it your ready to move on.
The process continues as you complete each step,
One after another, one by one.

Erasing, shading, smudging, restarting,
The typical frustrations when enhancing your sketch.
But don’t give up keep the vision in sight,
Because it eventually it pays off and your sketch is a drawing,
Your sketch is alive!

The art is not the sketch you create,
Its how you create it and bring it to life.
