Art

I just finished up my most recent art class, so I have several new drawings (and a painting!) to show. This class helped me learn the value of drawing from life, rather than from pictures. Drawing from life gave my finished images much more depth and helped me to more clearly see value differences and proportions. My goal as an artist at the moment is to develop the technical skills necessary to make realistic art so that I can later move on to make art that has meaning. I think this class that I took has helped me tremendously in this effort.

For copyright purposes, I'm just going to show drawings that have a distinct signature on them, but there are many more that I have not posted.

Without further ado, here are my latest additions!

Freesia. Graphite. Drawn from life.

It Takes Two. Graphite. Drawn from life.

Figurine of a Chinese Woman. Graphite. Drawn from life.
