Aquilador's Art
‘ l drew this to create an avatar for my user name Aquilador which loosely translates into ‘Eagle of Gold’ or ‘Golden Eagle’.
I was always keen on drawing as a youngster and achieved an O-Level in art during my time at grammar school. I continued to, sporadically, draw until I was about 21 years old, mainly doing caricatures of people I worked with which were often received with mixed reactions!
Life then took over and I no longer sketched for fun until 2019, three years after I retired from work.
What you see now are my efforts after joining an art class for Portraiture in February 2019 and up to the present day.
My teacher continues to challenge me with various subject matter, but I’m in my comfort zone using pencils.
I hope you enjoy my contributions.
