| My first color Portrait ever done in Hard Vinyl Berol pencil, which is almost impossible to blend. I now use the soft lead Berol pencil and am able to blend the colors of the Portraits making them look more like photos but with hand drawn portrait characteristics. |
| This portrait is only #7 of all of the portraits that I had done. I sure wish I had a decent scanner that would not pixel |
| I showed this portrait to a person who I showed this portrait to comment was wow! a person who a person who happened to be An happened to be An comment was wow! You even can see his gingivitis!". |
| I am proud of this portrait of a child. This portrait turned out nicely. I wish I had a better copy of this portrait to show the amount of detail work that I so enjoy doing. |
| This portrait picture and Berol pencil. Total hours unknown (Lost count). Did not know what to do with the drawing when I was done so I cut a hole in it and stuck my picture behind it! Total hours into the lizard are unknown (Lost count).I do remember I have 5 and half hours just in the head of the lizard. I Did not know what to do with the drawing when I was done so I cut a hole in it and taped a picture behind it. |
| Practising 3D I call this Addle Adolescence because he is a young skull who has broken confused by the newness of his confused by the newness of his freedom and suroundings, so he is going around taking bites out of things (Like a child puts things in their mouth) to experience them for the first time. |
| was in North Eastern Oregon, and some weird northern light stuff was going on. The sun was setting behind the building on the right, yet the light ray angles were not as they should be and where there was blue sky there was light streaks and vise versa, I am still wondering what caused the black shadowy streaks. Where did they come from? UFO? Drew this for the memory. 4th of July 2006 |

| Below is my first portrait ever! I just picked up a Graphite drawing pencil and by eye and free hand began to draw. I learned how extremely hard drawing eyes can be. Some people cant draw eyes. Eyes are one of my favorites even though it is the next time consuming compared to that of hands. It is hard to make them look real and is the most difficult to draw out of all the aspects of drawing a portrait. If you decide you want a portrait drawn for you Look at 4 key aspects of an artists ability, eyes, nose,hair. Some artists believe drawing or sketching "A likeness" is good enough. I do not. I believe taking the extra time to draw a portrait as close to picture perfect as I can to the original photograph. Details are an essential part of a person. It is what makes each of us "Unique". I also like to incorporate as much of a 3D affect as possible. If your portrait blends in with the background it will look flat, like something done in high school. In this portrait I should do a conflicting colored background to give it a 3D effect separating image from the background. |

| This portrait/Drawing of a Divers helmet, is from a picture. It is still unfinished as you can see at the bottom. I took this to a art gallery and an art critic of renown went goo-goo over the detail and 3D effects. I will do a contrasting back ground on this as well. Again my copy machine does not capture the intense detail that I like my images to reflect |

| Below are some pictures I've been working on. The first is an Airbrush I did when I first got it. Sometimes when you first start drawing or painting something you don't have a clue as to what it will be until you look at it and say,"Its done". |
