portraits

1st of the 'Patternz' series 1

An Imagination Picture, pen and Ink.

Pen and watercolor.

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.

Malik straining to keep the twisting pose. Decided to leave this one as a slightly rough red Bic pen sketch for now. There’s something to be said about the energy found in the work-up drawing.

Over a year ago, I finished my Robin Williams portrait, and I decided I wanted to create a series of different black and white portraits. So far, this is the happiest I've been with a piece in a while. There's no expectation, there's no real pressure on this, it's me falling in love with painting again. I've only been working on this for a week, so there isn't a ton of progress. I suppose I'll reveal who the person is later once more progress is made but for now, enjoy.

Sitting around and sketching Natasha on a slow afternoon. Red Bic pen in Moleskine sketchbook.

Face at weird angle

Digital art. I love sun and wind and in this piece I wanted to capture movement and light.

Head #69 of my 100 Heads.

An ok portrait of the great actor. Gouache and mixed media.

Ichthyornis is an extinct genus of toothed seabird-like ornithuran from the late Cretaceous period of North America. Ichthyornis meaning "fish bird", after its fish-like vertebrae. More like this on: https://www.instagram.com/camilojulianc/

Start of a series of drawings exploring pattern. The more Garish the better :)

Abandoned drawing of Ellie wearing a black turtleneck. The lighting in the room was terrible and the black fabric hid a lot of the shadow detail of the folds and it frustrated me. That’s my excuse anyway… Model: Ellie.
