Melissa Sleeps

















Melissa Sleeps is quiet 20 min sketch done with sanguine watteau conte crayon on sized and prepared paper. She is actually drawn on the back of another drawing that the paper was sized with yellow ochre pigment so some of the coloring shows through. All in all a very nice simple little sketch showing the beautiful anatomy of the back.

Ballerina's Toes


Done with charcoal on light blue sized and prepared Stonehenge archival paper; this little 20 min drawing is very nicely and accurately portrayed. Proper proportion and the use of light is essential in the curved rounding of the forms presented in the foot. I've been focusing many drawings to hands and feet in an attempt to better understand my anatomy as well as find a true balance with the forms and my mediums.

Scrotum Sack in Yo' Face #2


#2 in the series

all comments below apply to this one as well.

Scrotum Sack in Yo' Face #1


Man-Frog

Yes I know, it's quite a pose, but seriously this is the pose that I was literally faced with in class that day and I did the best that I could. All in all a pretty decent drawing for-shortening wise and proportionally correct.
I seem to be that one student that always gets these types of poses but rather than move seats I'm going to comprise a total collection of "Scrotum Sacks in Yo' Face" drawings that should above all things make for one heck of an interesting show. I love a good artistic challenge anyways. Hope you enjoy and please feel free to comment as much as you'd like!

$.... well how much is your scrotum worth?

On a small wood panel only 1 1/2" x 2"
is a 10 min figure study done in homemade Walnut Ink wash
cute & tiny she represents how quickly I'm attempting to grasp the form with the correct proportions and feelings. Her twisted stance and my choice to zoom in on her upper body made for a unique and interesting piece.

Anarchial Expressions



This piece is the beginning of an anarchical series that I am in the process of developing. An anatomy study of the hand and forearm done in an all natural walnut ink wash that I made myself at the school I attend. The study will help me to improve my drawing skills for a painting series that is still processing and developing. Let me know what you think.
