More Randomness from the Sketchbook (:

Alrighty. So here are some pieces that I have done since my last post. Most of them started as gesture drawings, and morphed into what they are.

This sketch was outside Cherry Hall.   I was trying to practice gesture drawing, which I really don't understand when applying to still life pieces (to each their own). It was a quick sketch, but it was nice to be outside.



I really enjoy shading. End statement.  I feel that can convey a piece better through shading then I can with line or placement.  This glass doesn't really exist to be honest, which could lead to issues with the light and such. But, its a sketch.


Again, I really, really enjoy shading.  This doesn't exist either, but I love still life pieces like this.  That's about all I have to say.

The following series of pieces are my abstract pieces, I guess?  All of them started as a gesture sketch, and just morphed into what they wanted to become.  I feel that the represent the blend of nature and humanity, and how even how we, ourselves are lost, we still have the deep connection to nature.  Or, interpret them for yourself. That's all.

Wedding? Funeral?  I think this piece captures the idea that both are a celebration of life and nature, whether it has passed or to come.




This piece is an expression of freeing oneself from the know and possible.




This piece represents the duality of image,self-worth, and discovery. Even if we cant see what others see in ourselves. 


This piece represents how we have bound Nature, and have built our cities and societies without embracing our own primal roots; we have forgotten.

Project One

Ok.  For this posting I'm going to post shots of my piece as it grows, and then give my thoughts at the end.

This piece was really a fun piece to work on.  I enjoyed taking the image from the master copy and blowing it up on the larger newsprint.  I hope that we get to do more pieces like this. (:

Random sketches.

So this was a random sketch that I did several nights ago.  I love drawing eyes, because they captivate the emotion and are just intriguing.

So this is just a simple still life, that I found in my room.  It was nice way to relax, and just sketch.

This piece was a fun piece to work on, and challenging.  I haven't sketched many faces before, and I figured why not. So I chose Lady Gaga, with her craziness.  This was the album cover from The Fame Monster.  The main challenge I found was with her mouth being so awkward to draw.  It was nice though to feel that the piece came out ok.
