Sphreical

A playful drawing in spheres and intersecting lines.

The Barn

This photo added a nice rustic look to an otherwise pencil drawing I drew a year ago.

Cloudy Mountians

I drew this using only two types of pencils and a stubby, an H2 for the clouds and some mountian shading and an H9 for the darker moutian shading and created a two toned image which contrasts well. It is simple, but I liked it.

Stormy Mountian

Below is a new drawing I drew the other night. I photographed it and then used photo editing software to make a high contrast version, which better represents the contrasts as they appear on paper (as the unedited version fails to truly capture the contrasts). I included both as an example of the difference.

Bamboo Stalk

A drawing of a Bamboo Stalk I drew almost two years ago.

The Mountain Forest

A simple drawing of a mountain and forest.

The Township

A drawing of a township on a creek.

The Farm House

This is one of my personal favorite drawings. I saw this in a schetchbook and decided to try and replicate it (without tracing - all free-hand) and this was the result after about two hours of work.. which happens to be the maximum span of my attention.

Mountain Farm

The Barn

A simple barn using only two pencils.

Mountain House

This scenic drawing of a mountain house was my first attempt at incorporating smoke into a drawing. It didn't quite work out well, but I like the way the mountains turned out... a little off.

The Bridge

This is one of my personal favorites. One of the few times I used an instrument other than a pencil in my drawings. I actually used a ruler to ensure the parallel lines of the bridge were crisp.

The Lake House

This was an early attempt at drawing something with water in the sceen. it also uses simple shading techniques. It is a raw drawing, but one that I have always appreciated.

The Faces of Life

This is my first success at drawing any type of face. I say success because if you were to ever see any of my other attempts your definition of success would match mine.

After drawing the face I attepted a seagull's head. I wanted to try something a little less dark than the face above. I am not as happy with the seagull, but it was a first attempt. I generally haven't had any luck drawing living things.

The Walker

A drawing I made from an exampl in a book. I don't do living beings well (people, animals and such), but wanted to attempt something out of my comfort zone.
