graphite on paper

A portrait of a friend.

Tim was a great model. He started shy and then became emboldened when the women in the class wanted him to return soon.

Instead of a sketchbook I draw - doodle - on a table top sized sheet of 100lb paper. This allows me to cross-pollinate visual ideas more easily.

Part of a huge doodle. Started as a doodle while I talked to a friend on the phone. She was one of those non-stop-don't-interupt-me talkers. I got hours of work done while on the phone. It ended up being purchased by our local public gallery for $4,000 bucks. Not bad! And I may use it in a future children's book.

This is a drawing for a poetry book. Sometimes I do the drawing first and then write the poetry.

A twenty minute posed captured in a figure drawing session in North Vancouver.
