I was browsing through what is on Yahoo.com stories this morning, and I came across an article about professions that are no longer viable it seems today. It ranged from shoe cobbler to draftsman to teaching and a few others, but these three stuck in my mind. The drafting career is mainly computer-aided drafting now. In reading about the draftsman career for I learned the basics to mechanical drawing and really enjoyed it back in school a long time ago and really liked it for it gave a different perspective to the various geometric shapes that could be drawn and even made maybe. My idea is to draw with pencil some artistic rendering of shapes along with measurements as an element to the overall 'picture' and then posting these drawings in the ART community and I am hoping for comments on these works and maybe even suggestions on what to draw next that you, the readers and writers, would like to see. I am planning on a collection to form of my artistic/mechanical drawings.

Cityscape
Here is my pencil sketch of a small city or a town that I did free hand. I learned how to draw this in an Art class I had during my freshman year in high school or it could have been during middle school. Please comment on this and I would really appreciate it.

Impressive Artwork by Odilon Redon
French symbolist artist Odilon Redon was famous for his drawings in the 1880s. The artist’s artworks were mentioned in the popular 1884 novel “A Rebours,” or “Against the Grain,” by Joris-Karl Hysmans. His later artworks were created in oils and pastels. He developed an interest in Hinduism and Buddhism, and this interest in mysticism is reflected in his works of art.

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.

Great idea! 😊💕💗
If I were artistic like that, I would do just such a thing, Great idea. we use what we are blessed with.
That’s a fantastic idea, to post in the art community. I would start with a series of squares and rectangles to being with.
That sounds like a fantastic idea. It's great to see your passion for mechanical drawing and how you're combining it with artistic expression.
What a fascinating idea! I love how you're blending the technical and artistic sides of drafting. The way you want to bring together geometric shapes and measurements with an artistic twist is so unique, and it sounds like a wonderful way to bring something old-school (mechanical drawing) into a fresh, creative context. I can totally see how your background in drafting could give your artwork an interesting depth and precision that’s different from typical art. Posting these in the ART community is a great move too—feedback and suggestions from others can help push your work to new levels. I’m definitely intrigued and would love to see how your collection develops! Keep us posted, and I’m sure many others would be excited to offer their thoughts and inspiration for your next piece!
