Samples of my grandaughter's art............

Wow this is really good. I think she would become a great artist if she keep up her good work. For a thirteen year old this is a good sketch indeed.

I can't belive she doesnt think they are good!!! Im VERY impressed, and i too could draw at a young age so i know what im talking about. I hope she keeps it up, drawing is a great way of expressing yourself IMO.

I have just rated them all Alex and I think you better tell your Grandaughter that she is a very talented Lady and keep the Good work up there Do not let her waste the the Talent she has And I mean that from the bottom of my Heart I do hope that I will be seeing more Hmmmmmmmmm I wonder if she could scetch my little Gissi here lol She has a great Talent

Well well done. I gave her a (+) but isn't that a rather unusual subject for a 13 year old?

I'm glad you are encouraging her. She does have talent. Next visit take her to the library and look in the art section for some beginner drawing instruction books. You could also get her a subscription to an art magazine to inspire her. If she has a particular interest - like drawing animals or drawing people or drawing cartoons - there a magazines about that or magazines with pictures of that subject for her to use as models. And for her birthday maybe get her some paints or other medium you think she would like. Of course, in a year or two she may rebel against anything you offer! Teenagers, you know. :-) Enjoy her. Do you do any kind of art yourself?

I took a look at a few of them and I think they are great. I am also goth too so I hope she would value my opinion about it :) Maybe, Maybe not though. Tell her she is doing a great job and should look into some art classes when she gets to high school. That is what my sister did and she also went to college for art. She has a really great job now!

I think she is quite talanted , why don`t you enter them into a contest see what happens maybe she win . That would give her a boost in confidence , but I wouldn`t do this without her knowledge . Ask her first before doing something like that . GOOD LUCK

her sketches are brilliant , she has a real talent , I always wanted be able to draw but try as I might it looks horrible , It is a great way of expressing yourself, If she can draw as good as this at 13 what brilliant work she will be doing when she grows up ,I would do everything I could to encourage her too , my youngest granddaughter is 13 in May so I know just how proud you must feel of her , It is so nice to know another proud grandma ( I am called nanny) xx

I think she´s very talented. Her drawings are different from what thirteen year olds usually create. They are original and extremely expressive. Maybe showing her our comments would make her feel a bit more sure about her artwork? If she carries on like that she can become a unique artist. XXX Dana

Your granddaughter is very talented! I love her work. You should be very proud of her.

By posting her work, you are also encouraging her to be more creative. That is a wonderful Grandmother. Kids need encouragement. She is very talented and 13 is a very impressionable age. Good for you for taking interest in her.

Actually, if that is freehand, she is amazingly good. At that age, i could only draw trees in winter. I think that her next birthday present should be a really good art set and a few art books so she can develop her talent. you never know, she may be the next famous artist!

Oh alexandria, you got yourself a very talented granddaughter. Her sketches are unique, artistic and spoke a lot of character. For a 13 years old, she definitely had the talent to pursue it. Print out this thread and show to her all the responses here. This can help boost her confidence.

I really like her drawings! I must say I;, quiet impressed. At such a young age, she can already draw really well! She must not be ashamed of it..she should be proud instead. She has the talent and she could be really great if she draws more and practice. I just noticed that all the girls on her drawings are crying. There was one common factor,, tears,,, I can feel the sadness in them. I dont know, I'm not really sure, its just my impression.

I think she is very talented! Her drawings are quite good! I did notice though, that they are all sad or crying. Is she going through some bad times right now? Maybe something to keep an eye on.

Very nice imagination and proportions. She has talent and I'm sure it will make a useful hobby. Continue to encourage her and also get her to meet good artists who will give her tips. Lots of kids have talents that are not utilised fully. Make sure she gets the right training and opportunities to use her talent and I'm sure in 10 years her paintings will be on my wall!!

Did she sketched it only using her graphical memory? Thats awesome, I think she should nurture that talent. She must practice her craft to improve more and maybe one day you will have granddaughter having a her own paint exhibition. Its good to attach herself on art, many expert that kids who are aware about arts are simply have intellectual advantages than those who are not. When she realizes that she has a talent then it will lead her to understand she has something to be proud off thus boosting her self esteem.

That's good for her age :) Maybe you can enroll her in an art class. But one that has a teacher who can motivate the students to improve. God knows, some art teachers do nothing but put you down. Hehe, I see she's into horror flicks? I can relate! XD

I think your granddaughter is quite talented. Tell her to keep at it.

She's too good for a 13 year old. Its a great piece of imagination. Tell her to carry on with her hobby. I wished I could draw. I am almost 30 and I cant even come even 1% as good as your granddaughter. Pass on my Kiss to her........ :) and tell her to keep drawing. Maybe, one day we will find her work on "Christies"......... wow....... :)
