Mid 2008: Women

    In the middle of 2008 I began to take drawing with pens more seriously.  I had always used them to sketch and doodle, but i never tryed to draw something that took longer than 5 minutes.  Pens began to be my favorite medium to draw with because of the mere fact that if your hand rubs over the right side of your sketch ((or left for you south paws)), it wont smear!  Yeah, pretty obvious reason, but i always loved how light or dark a shade a 10 cent pen could produce. These are early pictures i drew that made me realise i shouldnt take these ballpoint pens lightly.

Spring 2010 Life Drawing

    My first college class taken.  I am so glad i took this class. It really sparked my interest in experimenting with different mediums all over again.  Before attending, I felt like i had hit a huge roadblock in my drawing technique.  Not only from a technical standpoint, but an inspirational one, as well. Once i sat down on one of the drawing horses and glanced at all the sketchpads opened, I knew this is where i belonged. I normaly prefer to draw alone, but here, i welcome the criticism or complement my fellow artists have to say about my work.

Charcoal 18"/24"

Pencil, Micron pen 18"/24"

Paint Drip Drawings. Latex paint, 18"/24": An excercise where we were instructed to stand directly above our paper and, without neeling down, hold a paint stirrer loaded with paint. The goal was to draw the model onto the paper and still maintain a steady flow of paint.  I make it sound easy, which it most certainly was not.

Class Sketchbook, Various mediums, 11"/14":  Self explanatory. Mostly full of 30 second/ 1 minute gesture studies. Early Super Street Fighter 4 sketches too.  I couldnt stop watching those trailers.
