pencil

One of my first attempts at "urban" sketching, from photo reference. Watercolour pencils and ink.

A glimpse of my garden in the south of France

A little practice. (Pencil. 2010)

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.

Colored pencil on pastel paper

I live by the water (Torontos inner harbour) and managed to capture a seagull in mid flight. Did my best in not coloring it , and focused on the ✏️ pencil

I'm a little disappointed I couldn't hide the eyes better but I'm not unhappy with how it turned out as a whole

Done entirely with a 2B drawing pencil

Pencil drawing of hands giving a gift. Did this piece over the Christmas holiday

A fun drawing to do. I usually do a lot of crosshatching, but for this one I went for the smoothness, better to capture the light, I suppose, where crosshatching can be a little distracting. Or look like hair! As some have said.

Drawn in pen and ink, colored pencil, digitally altered to illustrate the Thai quote: Even a Rabbit Dreams of the Moon.

Quick pencil sketch on drawing paper. In town, in my car, drawing passersby on this day. This man was using his main means of transportation.

Pencil, cheap jotter

I am half way through my sixth decade, and I still like cute animals. This guy is the quintessential cute pet from so many of our childhoods.

Graphite pencil commission

from Présence series

A little exercise I'm doing, using these glass bottles as my model. There'll be more to come!

I can't remember if I did this from a reference photo or from one of the books I used to learn colored pencil drawing...

Colored Pencil. Tried photo editing, but for some reason, my blue crab looks green in every photo no matter what I do....so trust me, it's more blue!! LOL

I never do color, but I decided what the heck, it cant be too hard. Turns out it's pretty hard.
