NY Times Crossword Drawings by Emily Jo Cureton

Brilliant work! One of the most creative young minds I have ever seen!!! This gal is going places!

I'm not talking out of my arse :) I have to do life drawing everyday to keep my drawing skills fresh for my chosen career path. It's all about observation and after a few years of doing this stuff every day, you can tell from looking at a piece whether the observation is good or not. Even if I couldn't draw, I think everyone is entitled to critique another's work anyway!

I thought they were great! I'm not sure you guys can draw half as good as she can ;) (I know I can't draw a straight line to save my life).

Yup childish :) emjo, I have to say I rather prefer what you're doing in your paintings, they're so strong!

Anyhoo Tempscrire, I could dig out stuff I was drawing a few years ago (then I was a child!) and they would be falling back on similar techniques. I adore drawing, and I love that people draw regardless of their ability. But not every drawing is fantastic. I would love to see what emjo could do if she pushed this farther!

thanks for the link and the critique.
