Sleeping & Listening

Monday, May 18th, 2009 | Drawings, Felix, Life-Drawing | No Comments

Two relatively quick sketches. Not gestural, by any means, but without the careful hemming and hawing that can go into a “serious” drawing. This also means they’re free from some of the baggage longer-term drawings carry. Good times!

Pasture Drawings

Saturday, May 16th, 2009 | Drawings, Felix, Life-Drawing | No Comments

We were out at the barn for about five hours today, and it was a prime day for drawing outdoors. Truly sunny and warm, enough that I think I got a bit of a sunburn. I didn’t do five hours of drawing, sadly, since my pencil eventually got too dull to use. I was productive, though, and did some decent sketches. One of these days I’ll figure out how to draw a horse’s face. That’s still a mystery to me, as you’ll see with some of my interesting results.

Chopping Potatoes

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009 | Drawings, Felix, Life-Drawing | No Comments

A relatively quick drawing while she was chopping potatoes for a pot pie. The face is a bit strange, partly because I never get the face quite right and partly because she kept moving.

Friend, Grandma & Mules Grazing

Monday, May 11th, 2009 | Abstract, Drawings, Felix, Life-Drawing | No Comments

The first drawing is an attempt to draw a friend of mine. The second is an abstract drawing I drew on my way to the interring of my grandmother who recently passed. The last is a very quick attempt to capture the essence of mules grazing. I don’t consider the sketch a success.

More explorations with ink. A bit darker this time!

Creeper Colored

I posted a black and white sketch of this earlier. I’ve spent at least two hours coloring and processing it in Photoshop at this point, and I’m pretty pleased with it.

Cluttered Ink Still-Life

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009 | Drawings, Felix, Life-Drawing | No Comments

Drawing a bunch of junk, including a frame, a few partial mannequins, a basketball, a milk carton, and some plants. It’s a bit hard to decipher, but has some things I’m fairly pleased with. Click on the small image for a larger-sized one where you can get into the cool ink-on-newsprint texture (I must say I can’t get enough of that!)

Reading In Bed (Again)

Friday, April 24th, 2009 | Drawings, Felix, Life-Drawing | 1 Comment

Here we go with a different angle on a subject I tackled two weeks ago. This time I tried just pencil instead of ink and pencil, and sat on the dresser to gain some perspective.
