Portrait Sketch

I can't remember this models name but by the end she was getting a little antsy to get done.

Portrait Sketch

This is Don, his wife posed for us a month or so ago.

Portrait Sketch

Portrait of Adam, he was serious looking the whole night. I've pretty much switched to just charcoal now. I'm looking for the right paper, grey or midtoned, to use and then be able to add white highlights and light tone.

Model Photos

Some of our recent models posing at the Lit. They all look so serious! The first session is 45 minutes long before the first break, and things are usually a bit more lively with conversation and joking around. It takes some time for some models to get settled in. The next 3 sessions are 30 minutes each and by the end everyone is getting a little tired and quiet.

New Photo Page

Received a lot of candid photos of the group in action and created a new page for them. They were taken just over the last month or so by Michael Wang (Jia's fiancee). Above on the right is Jack, who does pen and ink drawings of the whole scene. The Photo page link is in the left sidebar.

Latest Bunch of Portraits

Several portraits from over the last 2 months at the Lit on Fridays. Three hour sitting with 3 breaks. I haven't drawn too much lately and need to get semi-serious again with some good paper and practice (or a project) during the week. BONUS: photo of what they really look like!

Landscape Quarry Road

This is traveling north on Quarry Road out in Wellington, getting dark with sun setting to the left. There's a lot of good scenes out in this area. Pastel, 18x12 on Canson Mi-tientes.

Portrait Sketch

This is Steve who posed for a second time at the Lit. This turned out great with good proportions and likeness. Drawn on cheap white paper and pastel pencils.

Portrait Sketch

This is Alex, an artist and also 3D animator like myself. He's heavily into the art scene in Cleveland and Lorain. Pastel pencil on cheap white paper. I may upgrade soon.

Portrait Sketch

Can't remember this fellows name, but he's one of the many poets we've drawn on Friday. Many poets hang out at the Literary and had monthly readings staged there. A little bit of the "skinny head" here.
