Hand

A drawing assignment. Done with NuPastels on Strathmore Velvet Grey paper. It's also for sale in my Etsy store.

Speaking of things that are being sold (or not sold, as no one is currently buying them), I've got some new prints for sale in my store. The Egg in Palm print is probably my favorite. It's an digital print of a painting I did way back in my 2-D Design class:

I've got a few other prints on there, but the colors came out ridiculously rich for this print, and I'm a little proud of that, I'm not going to lie.

Coffee Filter 2.0 - WIP

Instead of making me revise my previous drawing, my instructor asked me to make a new drawing of the coffee filter. So I did. Its still a WIP, but it's nearly there.

I like this one better, I think. The edges seem sharper. I need to tweak it just a bit, but it's still looks really good to me. Which is unusual. I only spent an hour on it. I kind of feel like I'm cheating.

Art 4C - Discarded Object

The first lesson for Art 4C - Draw a discarded object. This is a coffee filter in charcoal on Strathmore Velvet Grey 500 series.

Revised final drawing - Art 4B

Final drawing done in pastel for Art 4B. Added more lost edges, more color, did a better job of editing the levels and curves in Photoshop. Could use a better crop, but I'm too lazy to do that at the moment. Maybe I'll do it when I make prints, which I plan on doing.

Recent works

Copy of a still life by Courbet. Original image can be found here.

I can draw green apples. I like the stroke work on this one.

I can also draw red apples.

Lemon & Orange

An orange I drew. It's alright. The shadows were giving me trouble.

A lemon I drew with pastels. I'm getting better at this, I swear. I drew this before the orange/lemon still life. I should probably spend more time each week practicing.

I've also found that drawing from pictures is easier than drawing from life. Go figure. Again, I probably just need to practice.

Art 4B - Still Life

Pastel still life of 2 lemons and an orange I made for my drawing class.
