Some Drawings

Here are a few of my drawings. These aren't great photos, as they were taken indoors with incandescent light, which does strange things to graphite. Maybe someday I'll re-take them outdoors in normal light. For that matter, they aren't great drawings ... I'm still learning. But I'm pretty happy with them, considering before I did these, I swore - truthfully -that I couldn't even draw stick figures well.

What made the transition was a book called "Drawing On The Right Side Of The Brain." I highly recommend it. I'm serious. I really couldn't draw stick figures, then I worked through that book, and drew these - with little practice and no formal training. I have no doubt if I applied myself (something I suck at), I could be even much better. Truly - anyone can learn to draw.

This was drawn from a dragon on the cover of the book "A Dragon Lover's Treasury Of The Fantastic" by Margaret Weis. But I modified it somewhat, the clawed heart was my idea. It was a phase.




This was a picture of my mom and dad I drew from a photograph. I definitely need to re-take this picture, this one sucks.

Those were all drawn some years ago, then I stopped drawing for awhile. When I took it up again on a whim this year, I did a portrait of The Dread Reverend, also from a photo. The proportions are a bit off, but it's a good likeness. (I had to make that disclaimer lest anyone think the Dread Reverend had facial issues ... he doesn't, I do).
