saving face

My first (semi) successful Asian face. I really have to work on my portraits. This will be one of my new goals - stop drawing comic book characters and try to capture real people. I’m so used to drawing people in armor or monsters, I’ve never really learned to draw ACTUAL people…

portrait practice

sketches inspired by flickr-fotographer blue-velvet

sketches of trees

I have this thing about drawing fantasy trees…not sure where I’m going with this, sort of an ongoing artistic experiment…

Here’s a small flickerset with a few more.

inspired mountain

a mountain inspired by chinese landscapes…

hatshepsut

went to Kimball museum in Fort Worth on the weekend…grabbed a few sketches in the Hatshepsut exhibit…

tattoo

so, one day I want to learn to tattoo…but in the mean time I’m thinking about starting with paintings of inked people…

forest, oracle

gestures

I forgot my pen so I went in with just the brush - sort of worked.
