Here is another drawing that was finished a while back but got too busy to post it here (I am on my third drawing since this one was completed). The photo is from the same photographer that took the the picture of the man in a turban, who happen to be a desert herdsman. A man from a wealthy...

This drawing was created based on a photo sent to me by a businessman/photographer that travels the world. The gentleman show here was one of many people the photographer meet while traveling through North Africa.
The turban was a real challenge and as you can see I started to get bored with it....

Here is the first in a series of cowboy drawings I have set out to complete. This is a friend named Felix who is a professonial firefighter and model. This drawing is an upclose version to the original photo he sent me. Allowing me to focus on his hands. Hands continue to be a challenge for me.

I know.... It's been a while since I posted anything here . The last half of 2007 was a busy one. Cranking one commissioned drawing off after another. Then the start of this year, I started a project I have been wanting to do for a while. Put together a book on how I draw.
I have been blessed...

After completing several commissioned drawings since October, it was time I draw something for me. A practice I find myself doing especially after drawing people I feel aren't challenging enough... geez, I hope that doesn't come across as bad as I think it does?
Anyhow , just for the fun of...

This latest commissioned drawing was a big one. And yes, size does matter!
This is an actor named Brian Hathaway, who I had meet shortly after I had set up a page on MySpace. Originally set up to keep track with the artists at work (The Bakersfield Californian) several others have found me...

Not long ago I responded to an ad on Craig's List where a director was looking for an artist to help with his next movie. And will if you don't know me yet ... let you tell you ... I jumped at the chance just to see what this was. Turns out he is putting together an independent movie and needed...

I wasn't going to post this drawing. Not sure if I liked it since it was a rush job for a possible assignment at work but here it is. It was rejected because it's not in color. I guess I better get off my butt and get back into color. Black and white pencil drawings just aren't what they used to...

Here is the first on the newest small drawing project which I was able to work on between commissioned drawings. A series from Disney's Pirates of the Caribean. I'm sure I won't be drawing as many as I did for the X-Men collection but at least three and no more than six.
Feel free to let me...

Here is the last drawing to my X-Men series. Originally I was to draw three more but I'm ready to move on to something. I have a watercolor waiting to be finished, of an entry to a English castle and in front of the door way is an empty wheelchair. That should turn out great if I take my time and...

Sorry for the silence folks. I have been very busy with work and so this latest drawing has taken longer than should have. The others were done in a day or two but this one took over a week. Just not feeling up to much of doing anything but I knew I have to finish what I started here.
Not to...
