Flower Sketch

I still love just putting Pencil to paper and going with the flow. Flowers come very naturally to me, these are actually designs i am using in my new piece, i am painting a cigar box with acrylics.

Fantasy Drawings

Wanted to draw a fantasy world free hand out of boredom!

I got a book on "how to draw a fantasy world and characters" I made up my own scene, just used image ideas from the book

My second attempt

My final attempt i put on water color paper and decided to go for it! I learned a lot about colors and how to layer colors. This was a big undertaking for me. It pushed me to want to really get better at water color. Also, it reminded me i need to practice drawing and just using colored pencil more as well!

Tattoo Style Drawing

My fist attempt at a rose and Japanese clouds (which are very hard to draw!)

A Skull (dedicated to the brothers of SOS)

A Rose (after much more shading practice) and ball point outline

Sparrow

I always wanted to draw a Koi Fish, also my first attempt at drawing water. This image came out of a "history of tattooing" book, this was tattooed on a old Japanese guy

I did this dragon without looking at my paper almost, i just followed my hand with my eyes as I stared at the picture because there were so many lines. I love this dragon head. My wife insisted I stop stretch my ability and make my own dragon body... not too good!

Sitting outside one day, felt colorful and copied a bird, then just decided to sketch around it. people like this one!

Nature and Animals

I had a great book on how to sketch with graphite pencils.

Then I tried to experiment with ball point pen

Wanted to try and draw reflections on the water

My personal favorite of my nature drawings, using ball point and graphite pencils

CAT

This was in a "history of tattoos" book, but it was a realistic tiger drawing

Sea Horse

I thought this martini glass came out amazing, it re-motivated me to keep going

I finally got colored pencils and tried learning at square one, how to draw a circle and apple

Portraits

I decided that everyone wants to be drawn as a cartoon, so i drew my wife.




This was a guy at the airport working at his computer, i asked if i could draw him... he copied it and posted it on his desk... He was proud!




I found another cool book on how to draw realistic people, this was an example one.



I was siting at Starbucks during my lunch break and wanted to draw a person, the book i had showed how to draw heads and had separate eyes, noses, facial structures, i added the bodies out of imagination

Cartoon Pictures (My first drawings)

These are my first attempts at Cartooning using Chris Hart's "Big Book of Cartooning".






This is what happened after I found out using a ball point pen can pop the character off the page!





I Then decided to try and make a whole scene with a background




And after the feeling of mastery, i combined a bunch of characters together to make a scene of my very own!
