Sketch of my friend Big Jon U.K

This is a sketch done from a profile photo of a good friend of mine from the U.K. I wanted to work on my shading and hair drawing skills.... clearly I need more work but it does look like him and it has a nice vibe to it. I wish I could have gotten more texture to the face to make it stand out more and around the eyes to make them look sharper and more life like. It's a hit and miss but it's one more step towards being better at drawing.

Homeless Feet.

This my newest drawing done from a photo I found on the net called " Homeless Feet" It struck a personal chord with me and I wanted to give a try and try to do a drawing of it. It does have some flaws but I think it's pretty good for my first time drawing feet.

Two new drawings.. kinda cool stuff I think. :)

This is just a combo of ink, marker and the eye was done on my computer. The first eye i did with ink and marker and it turn into mud so i had to redo the eye on my computer. I think it has an interesting look and feel, although it did not look as detailed as I wanted. This was my first time using ink so for the most part.. I like it.

This is a drawing I did for a friend of mine from face book who had to return to the hospital for some more test and as he and his partner waited for them to come get him to run the test... his partner John fell asleep. My friend took this photo and posted it. I saw it and loved how the photo came out and felt inspired to do a drawing of the photo. Not too toot my own horn but I think this one of my best or the best sketch of a person i have ever done. There are some flaws and spots that needs to be cleaned up a bit but all in all I am really happy how it came out.

Pencil sketches old and new.

Thought I would give this type of drawing a try. Not too bad but not too great.

This is a sketch I started a few years ago and thought I would finish it. It does not have the feel I wanted but I will keep trying. I really do love nature based art.

Gary's eyes

This is a pencil sketch . Not what I was wanting but it's okay. In the photo his eyes are smiling and I did not capture it right. Will try again another time.

Another drawing of a FB bud by request.


This is another drawing request from a facebook friend. It looks a little harder than the photo but I like it this way for some odd reason. Some flaws here and there but it still looks pretty decent to me.

A good-bye Drawing for David Powers


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.
