Jeffrey's Drawings


 At long last Jeffrey finally became interested in drawing and writing letters about a month or so ago.  At the same time he also began holding his pen closer to the correct way (Even though I'd shown him a million times, he had always insisted on holding the pen way up high with his fist so he had no control whatsoever).

These are the first people ever drawn by Jeffrey.  Those are "stairs" on the left, and unfortunately, Arabelle added a few embellishments (anything that is not people or stairs).




More of Jeffrey's first drawings of people:










He sure took his time getting around to being interested in drawing people (4 and a few months), but I find the result quite interesting!


 Jeffrey wanted me to help him do a picture of Elsie, so I helped him with Elsie's head (below) and then started drawing a side view of her body.  Jeffrey said, "No, like this!" and proceeded to add the bird's eye view:


Then he did these two Elsie's all on his own.  He said the tongue like things are her nose/mouth.

  1. These pictures are great! Especially for coming without warning or really practice. I think his Elsie is particularly impressive.

  3. Yeah, very impressive. We looked at them all on the big screen using the projector here at James's house. I think our favorite one was the little happy cyclops/unibrow guy that he drew in that heart notebook.
