I'm not the best artist... by any stretch... but I have fairly decent drawing abilities. So I was wondering... while he's away, would it be a good idea to make a sketch of him? It would seem to quell these thoughts I have of him and possibly make for a lovely gift for him.
What are your thoughts? From the perspective of a male (one that is artistically inclined and senstive anyway), would a drawing of themselves be a good gift from the one they love?

Drawing...
"The weakest soul, knowing its own weakness, and believing this truth that strength can only be developed by effort and practice, will, thus believing, at once begin to exert itself, and, adding effort to effort, patience to patience, and strength to strength, will never cease to develop, and will at last grow divinely strong."

I'm into drawing quite a bit as well, but reckon that drawing a portrait of someone is far more interesting when done in a session together, otherwise it's as if you'd almost resort to tracing photographs or something to make it accurate.
Maybe make an abstract portrait?
What I did was to buy a drawing set for my girlfriend and have an evening of drawing scenes out of memory and one another.

Love is a word with a lot of meaning to me... so it's not something I would say without being convinced that I do indeed love someone."The weakest soul, knowing its own weakness, and believing this truth that strength can only be developed by effort and practice, will, thus believing, at once begin to exert itself, and, adding effort to effort, patience to patience, and strength to strength, will never cease to develop, and will at last grow divinely strong."

A drawing of just him may show that I'm thinking about him. At least, that's the theory."The weakest soul, knowing its own weakness, and believing this truth that strength can only be developed by effort and practice, will, thus believing, at once begin to exert itself, and, adding effort to effort, patience to patience, and strength to strength, will never cease to develop, and will at last grow divinely strong."

Gifts like that are the best kind, Dalia. Shows real thought and effort. Those are the kinds of gifts one treasures for a lifetime.

I like the drawing idea but not so much the drawing of just him. I understand your opinion on why you dont want to draw one of you 2 together but I think just drawing one of him might not be the best thing. To be completely honest if I had a gf that drew me a picture of just me I probably wouldnt really like it that much. I would appreciate the thought and everything but as a guy it would kinda creep me out in a way.
One of my previous gfs drew me a picture of us together but it didn't portray that we would be together forever. It just showed 2 people (us, kinda) from behind sitting down leaning on eachother. Kind of what you do when you watch fireworks together. It wasn't too forceful yet I really loved it. She then wrote a little poem in the upper right hand corner.

If the guy appreciates art and diggs you, then he will love it. The gift says that you think about him and it also shows your own artistic passion.
It sounds like you should do it.
