This is David Powers a very long time friend of mine who passed away a little over a week ago. His husband Pete, of 17 years asked me to do this drawing for him. It was a great honor to have known this wonderful human being and I will always cherish our friendship. Thank you David for loving me and caring about me when no one else did or could.

This is a sketch I did for a new friend on Facebook. This is his daughter Michelle. .
This is a drawing of Mandy a friend of mine from the U.K This was a tough one due to the long hair. Drawing long hair or any hair is still a new thing to me. After a few try's I think I got it done. The hair looks flat and has no movement but I am still learning as I go.
This is a trace outline of a photo and then printed. All the details are done with graphite and dry pastels The idea is to do more like like faces with tattoo style drawing,.Due to shaky hands.. I had to use Photoshop to get my outline. So I had to cheat a little to get the proportions right. Sorry about that.
This is the first completed draft of " The Complexity of Self" I was recommended to not over detail this drawing so I thought I would just send it out as is and see what everyone thinks. You will see a bunch of flaws and mistakes but over all I am liking the direction it's going. I still feel like maybe I should take a little further but I could be wrong. I am learning this as I go. I'm self taught.. I think you can tell LOL
