Dragons!
This is some of Asher’s art from this year. (He is 7.) I am afraid I can’t say exactly what month he created these, but I loved them so much I set them aside to keep and then misplaced them until now—which is OK because NOW it’s Michaelmas! And dragons are always appropriate for Michaelmas!
He drew these fine specimens, then cut them out. When I scanned them, of course, they reacquired their white backgrounds.
I’m pretty sure these are influenced by the “How to Train Your Dragon” film. No matter. I think they’re wonderful.
I adore how sure he is in his drawing, how he means every stroke, but isn’t going to agonize over any of it. He makes a choice, executes it, and moves on. He is prolific and entirely free when drawing, whether he’s creating imaginary creatures or knights with intricate battle armor. He adores sketchbooks and making mural-size art.
