Now What?

The other day I found this drawing while cleaning my room.
I'm pretty sure I've posted a picture of it before, so it's nothing new.
Anyways, I'd forgotten all about it, so I decided to make it a little more
memorable.

I cut the drawing off of the notepad it was onI sprayed the drawing with a fixative spray.

I matted the drawing on white mat board.
I tried black mat board at first, but white
made the drawing pop a little more.

I had this plain black frame, that was a little too plain.
I decided to spray paint it a bit. At first I thought about
spraying it a different solid color, but then I just decided
to do some light sprays of yellow around the frame.

I think the spots effect worked pretty well.

After that I sprayed the frame with a gloss
finish, and put everything together.

The finish product came out pretty sweet I think.
I've never really thought about selling prints of any of my work,
but I think this might be the first one. I'll think about it.

Monday Blues

High School Dayz

This drawing was done using only color crayons. I think till this day, it's one of my favorite pieces I've ever done. It wasn't the easiest drawing I've ever made. Trying to get the colors to blend was very hard. I really want to try and doing more crayon drawings. Maybe even bigger ones too...We'll see.

Night and Day

The other day I impulsively bought some pretty nice pens. I want to start drawing a lot more. I've started to look at a lot of pen drawings from different people and kinda got inspired. I want to concentrate on pen and ink for a while, but I have a couple paintings that I've already started. So I guess I'll try doing both.


This drawing was done for my drawing class I took a couple semesters ago. It's the same drawing, with different lighting. It was a 20 minute portrait on newsprint paper, done with a pen.

Running With Manatees.

Another old drawing I found. I did it when I was messing around with Indian ink. The ink was a little hard to control, but I'd like to do more ink drawings. This was a pretty quick drawing/painting...I worked on it for about 15 minutes. I think I can make it into something though. The funny thing about this drawing is that the kid at the far left looks a lot like me when I was a kid. Heh.

I wanted to do another drawing made up from scribbles. I liked how my first pen/scribble drawing came out, so I wanted to do another one. I really like drawing with pens. Everything is final, obviously...you can't erase pen. So whenever I would mess up on something, I had to get creative to fix it.

Now What?

I really like to draw, but I don't do it enough. I don't think I am as confident with drawing as I am with painting. I need to find something I really want to draw so I can be committed I guess. We'll see how it goes...

Before and After

Sometimes I look at a painting or drawing when it's finished, and just don't feel it. When that happens I have to make some changes. Sometimes is works out, and other times it does not. I liked how this one turned out though.



The face, hands, jeans, guitar, and the cloudy sky were all done with color pencil. The rest was painted with acrylic paint on a thick 18x24 sheet of thick watercolor paper.

Yeah I erased the old post.

My City

For the last few weeks I've been working on this new drawing. I don't work on it regularly. Whenever I'm bored, or have nothing else to do, I bring it out and start to draw. I'm using pen. I'm drawing on a 18x24 sheet of britol paper.



I'm not sure where it's going. I have some ideas, but not sure about them just yet. I don't want to think too much with this drawing. I do that a lot. I over think and over plan most things in my life.



There's a lot going on, but it's kinda like how I feel my brain works sometimes. I have a lot of clouded thoughts. It makes it hard to focus. The constant counting doesn't help too much either. I want to start working on it regularly. There is someone I want to give it to.
