As for my drawing; I finally got the other eye done, after erasing it and redoing it several times, I can live with what I have. I worked on the nose some too and that's coming along nicely. I'm going to work more tonight.
The fine art of portraits and figures...
I'm currently working in charcoal, pencil and colored pencil. This blog is updated regularly with works in progress, and general updates relating to my art work. On occasion I will post articles about art history or other art related topics and a few pieces of my photography.

Inspiration and a brief drawing update
I've had a good bit of inspiration for work lately. I also made plans to revisit some ideas I had in high school that I never fully explored. Like the face painting I did as a reference for a pastel drawing, now I'll use real face paint and not lipstick. I had some red and greenish stains on my face for thanksgiving that year. I used black and red lipstick but the black stained a little green. Anyway I'm gonna pick up some face paint and work with that a bit more. I already have a few ideas, and I'd really like to explore using text, and symbols in my work more. I like using text but my one college teacher gave me a hard time over it (but she gave me a hard time over everything). As of right now I think the mixed media pieces won't happen again, but you never know. Anyway I have a lot of really great ideas and I'm happy about that, I also can't wait to get working.
