Self Portrait, 6 yrs old, portrait #3 in the first ever list. Look at my beautiful Blue eyes! aaaaahhh.......just kidding.
Pam Anderson
This Portrait took me 36 hrs! 2nd I had ever done!
This baby
drawing was
never done
completely
I call him the
Gerber Baby
Someones Parents
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 colors
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
distort the image.
I showed this Portrait to
a person who
happened to be An
Orthodontist. Her
comment was wow!
You even can see his
gingivitis!".
With this Portrait of
a Child I Only had an
old black and white I
spent hours on her
hair making it look
photo correct with
hair strand detail.
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
Frame is done in ink
hours unknown (Lost
count).I do remember I
have 5 and half hours
just in the head of the
iguana.
I 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!

I call this Addle Adolescence because
he is a young skull who has broken
free of his chains of the world, yet is
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.
Addle Adolescence
Divers Helmet
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
still wondering what caused the
black shadowy streaks. Where
did they come from?
UFO?
Drew this for the memory.

I am a self taught artist and these are my portraits.

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 and hands can be. Some people cant draw eyes. Eyes are one of my hard to make 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 contrasting back ground to separate the image.

If you would Like a Portrait, you
may contact me Here
is from a picture I had laying
around. It is still unfinished as
you can see on the bottom of
the picture. I once took these
portraits and picture drawings
to an Art gallery and an art critic
the detail and 3D effects. I
background on this as well.
Again my copy machine does
not capture the intense detail
that I like my images to reflect.
Below is some pictures I've been working on lately. They are not 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".
