Portrait Study


The owners of the Literary are out of town so we ended up drawing at Tim's Manly Pad. Tim has a pretty cool art collection of local artists plus a ton of his art all over the place. This is RJ, who lives right across the street and came over to pose. He was rock solid for the full 3 hours. With the lighting at Tim's there were some striking shadows on RJ which makes the subject much more interesting to draw.

This was mostly charcoal with some light touches of color and highlight using pastel pencil.

Portrait Sketch


I missed out on drawing Laurel live on Friday, so Tim sent me a few photos to work from. Mostly charcoal with some touches of pastel. First time drawing on orange paper out of my pad. Gotta try them all!
