My sister in law was misdiagnosis and has struggled with the side effects. She finally found a doctor and has made some improvement. Antibiotic never upset me i guess I was lucky. Keep at your drawings. I collect top breaks if you need any photos for model s.
I made some drawings of Victory Models....

Keep the faith and keep doing stuff and enjoying life
I like the drawings and think they are great.
I can only draw a revolver from a holster. If I drew one with pencil and paper you might guess it was a revolver.

Your drawings are fantastic. I have ZERO artistic or musical ability. I can do mechanical drafting / drawings but free-hand is embarrassing. You have found a wonderful new skill to get through the tough days.
Prayers sent and keep on drawing.

God speed on your recovery and keep a positive attitude. Your sketchings are very therapeutic.
You have a talent. Look at the progress you have made in a short amount of time! I am enjoying your work and encourage you to keep at it. I know well what struggles you face with a delayed diagnosis, and pray for a full recovery.
The encouragement and comments are overwhelming right now. I thank you guys so much for being stand up guys. Thank you all for the comments.
JH1951, have you dealt with it too? The big issue physically is I have something called POTS. It's a pain in the butt. When it's hot out my symtpoms are worse and stress. But basically I can't stand for an overly long time without my BP dropping and eventually fainting. I've managed for years by just knowing when to sit down (usually 1/2 hour was my limit). But it got worse this year. Allergies too. It's been a bad year.
59Dexta, tell your sister to hang in there and she's not alone. There are a ton of us that have battled this. Not that that makes it any easier. But drop me an IM if she wants or needs someone to talk to. I always like hearing how people are waging war against it because I can learn something.
Also, top breaks are cool. I definitely could think about doing one of them eventually. I wouldn't mind owning one some day. Tell me if you have pics of it posted in the forum somewhere.

I have made my living for the last 45 years drawing with a mechanical pencil , You Sir , have the God given talent . I can see it and see the improvements in your drawings . They are looking good, it takes a little time to develop your own technique and line quality but they are developing....The drawings look good. Don't stop.
Keeping the mind working sometimes gives the body a reason to heal, We will be praying for you, do not despair.

Wow, thank you gwpercle. How in the world did you make a living at art? I'm thoroughly impressed.
Engineer1911: I wonder if those 2 things go hand in hand or something. Because I play guitar, bass guitar and drums. When I got out of high school, that was my passion and I stuck all of my time and effort into it. I should've stayed in college, but I can say I chased my dream. Never went anywhere other than played a few shows that were large venues. But none of the bands ever made it big. Oh well. That's life in the big city. I have used that skill at church though in my adult life.
If I would've been smart I would've kept with drafting too. Like you did. You were smart. I did work as a CAD guy for my Brother in law for a couple of years. And I had mechanical drawing in high school and thoroughly enjoyed it. I think I was decent at it too. Geometry was simple for me. Trig, ugh.......

For the most part it's finished. Having a hard time getting a decent picture of it though. Real bright outside and not enough light inside.....
Dudes that do checkering.... Wow. My hats off. I wasn't even willing to put in the time to do it right to draw them. Much less file them out...... Wow.

I admire your drawing and spunk to be doing something. Keep it up. God rewards effort.
My wife is very artistic. She has done several drawings for me and I love them. I admire your talent. I cannot even read my own signature

I technically haven't made a living in "art ", but rather architecture...I draw building plans for residences and small commercal buildings and I still draw the plans with a mechanical pencil , technical drafting pens on sheets of vellum taped to a big drawing board . I could never get into CAD ...having a computer do the drawing just never fit my way of doing things. I started my own building design business in 1972 and since I'm the boss , I get to do it my way .

That is really cool you still do it old skool. NICE!!!! I'm all for non digital. Many wise people say it's good to keep up with the times and always learn. But when it comes to electronics, I think there are many downsides to everything being digital. Not to say there isn't any upsides.

I had intended to draw a 629 with an 8-3/8" barrel. But once I put the grip and frame on the paper I realized I made it waaaaay to big for the super long barrel. It's my first time on a sketch pad and the size is about double of what my other drawings are.
Some of the aspects bug the heck out of me, but I think it's getting there.
I can't decide if I want to do no flutes or flutes..... You guys vote.... I personally prefer flutes, but some guys like no flutes.

Progress has been made. Flutes installed and beveled edges on the cylinder. I tweaked a few dimensions here and there and I think got it a bit closer to what it should be.
Pre shaded mode (I'm still not sure I want to tackle all of those little bumps on the hogue grip.... Ugh. Or the lettering. The lettering scares me less though. And seems like it almost has to be there. LOL.:

I'm impressed with your talent and your effort. I like the light tapered mountain barrel profile. Keep up the practice, you're getting better..............
