Not great, but for a quick sketch, not too bad. Just trying to get better at drawing portraits. #sketch #sketchbook #art #staedtler
Gonna call this one. #sketchbook #art #drawing #sketch #colorpencil
Going to have to finish this some other time. Black Hat from the movie Priest. Time to read a book. #drawing #sketchbook #art #sketch #colorpencil.
This is why I don't mind going to TJ Maxx: Large Moleskine Sketchbooks for $5. ....bought 4 for the price of 1!!!

Been a while since I worked on this, but I think I'm done. :)
First off, I would like to say that your artwork I'd amazing. I love your figure studies. I have started some figure drawing sessions, at my local art gallery, and strive for my artwork to get to the level that you have achieved. I post other artist's artwork, on the gallery's Facebook page, to try to get more people involved and to show them examples of different artist's figure studies. I love your comments about the "failed" drawings and wanted to know if you would object to me sharing your art and comments on our gallery's Facebook page. We would credit your art and comments, of course. Thanks.
Yet another experiment of mine. I’ve mentioned before that I’ve been playing with the idea of combining detailed internal rendering with simplified, gestural contours. I’m not sure yet exactly where it will lead, if anywhere, and by no means have all of these tests been successful. Remember that the life drawing session is a place to learn, experiment, and take risks. For every good drawing we produce there are ten more that we can hardly bear to look at. But those “failed” drawings are every bit as important as the successful ones. Leaving the session with new information and avenues for exploration is more important than leaving with a stack of pretty drawings. - Micah
Awesome $5 find at Hobby Lobby. Saved $65 from the original price!!!
Practice makes perfect. Getting there, slowly but surely.
Felt like I had some decent drawings at tonight's open figure drawing session. I still have a long road ahead of me though.
WIP of a seahorse. Oh, fortune cookie, how I wish I could take your advice...
Been studying all day. Luckily, I have Netflix to keep me company. #study #onthegrind #workspace
Bigger picture of the daily planner that I used to make a travel sketchbook with.
Turned these (2) Strathmore, toned paper, sketchbooks into one travel sketchbook. Used an old daily planner from 2000. #sketchbook
Late night sketching. Time for bed though. #sketch #drawing #sketchbook #art
Not exactly happy with this, but I guess it could be worse. #drawing #sketchbook #art
Figure drawings from last week. Out of a 3 hr session, these were the best ones. Sad. #figure #drawing #sketchbook #art
Really happy with these. 2 twenty minute poses. Done with pastel chalk pencils. #figuredrawing #sketchbook #art #drawing
Definitely need help on figure drawings. Not bad, but not where I want to be. I'll bet there though. #figuredrawing #art #sketchbook #drawing
Finally went back to the figure drawing class held at the local art gallery. 2-5 minute figure poses. Done in Col-Erase pencils. #figuredrawing #drawing #sketchbook #art
Not too happy with this, but at least I got something down on paper. #drawing #sketchbook #art
