Ink on Paper I met a great person named Kelsey earlier this month and drew her while she shared her story with me. She’s a botanist, a mushroom hunter and a traveler. She kept me on the edge of my seat with her stories and i drew her hair, miles of hair, in ink, flowing all over the page. I hope I get…
Ink on Paper I had a blast drawing Lindsay last Sunday. She’s always so bubbly and funny and I can’t help but borrow some of her zest for my drawings. I particularly like the nude beaver trapper on the rock. Click on the thumbnail to view the larger image.
Pastel on Paper I’m always amazed at how easy and effortless it is to work with some people. I haven’t drawn Julie for the better part of a year. She was at Hipbone last night and I was there to finish my homework. I’d forgotten how good a model she is, graceful and dynamic. I focussed on her energy and movement and…
Ink on Paper Micron pen figure drawings of Whim and Dana made over the past couple of weeks. It’s been suggested to me that I should zoom in on the figure and spend some time with hands, feet and portraits. There are a couple of renditions of Whim in this post where I attempt a bit of Edward Gorey, mostly…
Ink on Paper Sketches from two drawing sessions over the weekend. The first with Laura at Hipbone and the second with Lindsay. I did this drawing from a standing poses where I drew a line across the torso that looked like a waistband. I asked Lindsay if she had a pair of Grannie Panties and heard 20 minutes of stories about Storm Troopers, big…
Ink on Paper I started school in September at OCAC (Oregon College of Art and Craft). I have a class in Advanced Life Drawing and part of my homework is too keep a sketchbook. I’m livin’ the dream. This the first couple of weeks with work from the Stables and the B&P. Whim’s the model from the big picture,…
Ink on Paper These are some sketches of Amber from the Stables, made earlier this week. I’ve worked with Amber on the Maps Series, we’d made a bunch or prints the week before. She’s very easy going, relaxed and has a great laugh. All that positive energy came through in the work, both the paintings and the sketches.…
Ink on Paper Kira is one of my favorite people to work with. She has an iconic haircut, a wonderful face and a bubbly personality. What more could you ask?. These are some sketches from a new book. You can see me miss the mark comepletely and then make something close to a likeness at the end. This one looks like…
Ink on Paper From this Monday at The Stables, these are sketches of Matt. I bought a new sketchbook at Muse, they were out of the soft covers that I love so much and this was the last one they had that was any workable size. It’s a landscape format. I didn’t think I’d care for it at first but I like…
Ink on Paper These are from my first time at Dr. Sketchy’s in Portland. My friend Rebecca always goes, I’m sad that she could not make it this time. The models are from Trek in the Park, they were great fun and I really enjoyed the session. I have to go see them soon. Click on the thumbnail to view…
