This was a still life I did in class a couple of weeks ago. Again, it's charcoal, but this time instead of in my sketchbook, its on a large newsprint pad. Hence the low quality of the image, I had to take a photo of it, instead of scanning it like I normally do. I thought it came out pretty darned good, if I do say so myself. And of course, frickin' clickin' makes it bigger.

Here's another charcoal rendering I did. This one was off the top of my head. I had actually drew a similar pose on a Post-it note. I liked how the rough little ball point sketch came out, so I thought I'd take a shot at nicely shaded version. Sure the proportions are greatly exaggerated, but realism of the female figure wasn't what I was going for. Cool shading was. Maybe I'll try a woman with a face and some nipples down the road.

So I've decided to relaunch this site and I'm doing it with this cool eyeball that I drew for my Basic Drawing class. I'm really starting to get into using charcoal, it really lends itself to some good shading. So needless to say, I think you can expect lots of charcoal work coming up in the near future. I might even try to get back into the chalk pastels. I used to use them a lot in my teenage years, only I don't think I was using them quite to the extent of their capabilities. Anyhow, I'm getting ahead of myself. Hope you enjoy the eye. BTW, clicking makes it bigger.

I think I'm going to switch this here community webfolio to being my own personal sketch-blog. Not that I don't like the feeling of community, its just that everyone seems to have started their own blogs for such things that they might have used delineature for. So as of now I'm temporarily shutting it down with the hopes of a redesign and a rebirth to my own personal gallery.
