Favorites from 2010 Sketchbook
The portraits I have seleted from my sketchbook are ones that I felt captured best the personality of the subject. I am less interested in the capturing a likeness than I am conveying a sense of who they are, which is what inspires me to draw them in the first place.

Dressed for Church
This charcoal and white chalk drawing was done a couple years back and I am doing this face again just as a portrait. The portrait is being done with red, white black prismacolor pencils on a toned watercolor paper. Saturday, January 1, 2011
From the sketchbook - pen and ink
These sketchbook drawings are done very rapidly. I am capturing a simple response to something observed or felt. I enjoy the freshness and energy of these drawings and how they capture a personality or mood. This is also excellent training for the eye to focus on the most important lines and shapes and values (light and dark).
