Apple the First

I've been doing a bunch of small apple paintings lately. Good practice, ya know? Here's the first one. Just a little guy, only 8x10. More to come.

Simplify, Block It Out

Simplify, they said. Block it out, they said. Break down the human form in order to understand it better. So I did, in this drawing modeled after a painting by Frederic Remington.

Some Improvisation

This drawing came from an assignment. I was supposed to be focusing on the eye. My positioning was pretty poor, however, so I had to improvise. Sometimes the best work comes as a result of having been "in danger," so to speak.

Lips and Geometry

This is another of my drawings that's a little more on the odd side. That's probably why I like it.

A Few More Figures

Two more figure drawings. Take a gander at 'em.

Another Leopard-Heron Opposition Piece

Seems the opposing forces of the heron and the leopard have snuck their way into another one of my pieces. Colored pencil this time, only 9x11.

More Blind Contours

These are two drawings that came out of the time I spent creating the larger blind contour collage piece I posted a few weeks ago. Out of the dozens of small blind contour drawings I made for that piece, these two turned out so well that I didn't have the heart to cut them up. Sometimes accidents can be beautiful.
