Inktober Day 4 sketch. No prompts. No, you didn't miss Day 3. There was a lot of bleed-through that messed up the sketch. It happens.

No prompts for me this year. I'm just drawing 31 animal portraits in ballpoint pen.

Practice practice practice

Another little practice run - drawings from my head with no sketching beforehand. A bit risky, but results can astonish.

Experimenting with things from my sketchbook and digital way to glue everything together

A drawing that turned out better than I expected. Two hour seated pose. Pencil, Charcoal Pencil, Pastel Pencils on some weird pad of paper I found in my closet.

Sketchbook work. Hands convey a surprising amount of emotion, which is the reason I love drawing them.

That was my first animal painting, chose ocelot, because the are so beautiful and unusual. It is done with oilcolors on canvas.

Ink on paper.

Practising how to portray expressions and emotions!

I sketched this black cat drawing as the start of my custom pet portrait service. Graphite, a mechanical pencil and a hb pencil was used on Derwent sketching paper.

Personal project to draw 100 pups.

Inky portraits inspired by 90s hair

Ink on claybord.

Patternz - Series 3. In this series I'm still sticking with the Patterned backgrounds, but this time they have been carefully chosen to compliment the chosen animal subject, rather than the human portraits of series 1 & 2.

I had a wonderful time creating this commision for a Kansas City Personalities wall mural installed in a downtown KC apartment building. The wall measures roughly 12’ x 20’. These were all hand drawn graphite and charcoal drawings that I scanned into my mac and delivered digitally. The file was then enlarged and applied to the wall surface.

Currently exploring image making with fountain pens: immediate mark making, no pencil, no eraser. I'm enjoying the discovery process and embracing the stray mark made with semi-blind contour and continuous line drawings.
