Hello, my name is Lone Stag,
and I'm a doodle addict. New Orleans

Told by a co-worker that I could learn to draw. Doubted him, but tried anyhow. Watched a couple videos, read a few books, got a few supplies. 2+ years later, still putting pencil to paper. Very unofficial Arsenal artist.

I specialize in drawing, graphite, pencil drawing, people, portraits, traditional art, writing.

I don’t think it looks exactly like Emilia Clarke/Daenerys Targaryen, but I like the way it came out. The pic isn’t as good as the drawing as the lighting wasn’t great.

Finished cat drawing. Sure, I could fine tune it forever. But I’m good with this one.

Just progress

Picked up the pencil again. Def missed drawing. Chose a close up a cat image I’ve always like. Feel like it started well.

Had some doubts on this one. Originally planned for more in the back and foreground. Felt it might take away from the wolf as the focal point. Graphite pencils. Black was charcoal pencils.

Working on the iconic goal celebration between Auba and Laca.

Finished this up. Overall happy with how it turned out. Ramsey left the team this summer after 10 years.

In-progress. This is the final season for Aaron Ramsey as an Arsenal player. I put this compilation of images over his years with the team. Each one conveys something a bit different. The top image is a gesture to the fans. The middle is indicative of the emotion of playing. The lower is him in action.

Continuing my soccer-themed pieces with a heavy slant towards Arsenal (COYG!). Overall happy with how this one came out.

Finished this up. Not particularly a fan of Barcelona, but greatness is where it is. It’s funny, no matter how dark I make shadows and shading, I always feel I could have gone darker.

In progress. Lionel Messi. Greatest ever? The player, not this drawing.

Final drawing 6 of 6. Here I fine tuned the piece. Spent some time on the shirt and wrinkles. Added little details like moles and neck creases. Finished up areas of shading. I had a heck of a time on his right eye. It’s the one area I couldn’t get quite to my liking but it is what it is. Overall, I like how this came out.

Progression 5 of 6. At this point his face is nearly done and I’ve begun to fill in the shirt. There is still more shading and fine tuning and details needed on to finish off his face, but at this point in a drawing I like to begin filling in the other details to keep some cohesion to the overall piece.

Progression 4 of 6. Here the drawing starts to come together. I built on the layers I put down in the earlier portions of the drawing. Spent some time on the beard and mouth.

Progression 3 of 6. In this one, I focused on the hair some more, his ear, fine tuned the eye and add shading to his face.

Progression 2 of 6. Spent some time here in the hair, beard, and eye. The transition in the hair from light to dark was done mainly by not adding in graphite in heavy amounts and using the pencil eraser to define the hair.

Progression 1 of 6. This first pic is of the line work and the background shading.

Unai Emery. Arsenal Football Club Manager. I think I could have put another hour or so into this and worked the finer details, but overall happy with how it turned out.

Dabbling a bit with cartooning. Always drawn to the manga style.

Tobin Heath, US Women's National Team. I find her very photogenic and interesting to draw. The way she is half bitting her lip is what caught my attention and I thought it a good challenge to draw.

I put this together for Arsene's last home match before he left Arsenal last season. Probably my favorite drawing to-date.
