The gallery continues!

I'm on my way to a drawing session this morning. But, as I a m sitting down to a lovely breakfast of strawberries and oats I suppose I have time to post a few more drawings...

This is one of the first pieces that I used Robert's Loganberry and Lichen drawing pencils on. They're really just this deep violet and mossy green color. Also I used a red colored pencil in there too. 

The model laying down.

I finished with the previous pose a little early so relocated. Then the pose was over so this one isn't as detailed. It's still a lovely line drawing, I think.

So there is your batch of drawings  for today. Perhaps soon you shall get to see the piece I am entering into the Larry contest! More information to follow.

Toned paper gallery

Okay. I have JUST finished scanning in the toned pieces. Literally right now. There is quite a few of them so I shall just put a few up at a time. Once again, there are nudes. So, probably not safe for work.

This one is just a copy from a Rubens. I would try to track down a possible title and year BUT my book, and what a lovely book it is..., is across my room. 

This is Neil. He's a well known male model in Columbia and is amazing to work with. This is one of the first toned paper pieces from life that turned out. 

It may be difficult to tell, but I only used a few colors to make this drawing. Blue was not one of them. Yellow ochre, brown, black and white. In some of the pictures I will post later I did branch out and use a purple or a green drawing pencil borrowed from Robert and in a few others I totally cheated and used my colored pencils. 

I have plenty to keep posting for a while so keep checking!

Toned paper pieces!

Howdy there. Long time, no see...

This isn't an actual posting. There will be no pictures here. But I will tell you this: I have many accomplished works that I'd like to slowly post for you. The only problem right now is that they are about 3 feet away from me and the scanner is in the other room. I have recently been stricken with extreme hunger and am now waiting for my cure: Gumby's.
I should mention though, that half of these works are totally NSFW given that they are of female nudes and parts can be seen... shield your eyes, folks!
Also, a local exhibit at the George Caleb Bingham gallery on Mizzou campus called the Larry Show features pieces done by several artists of the local model, Larry Bauer (which can be viewed here). It is a study of how different artists approach portraiture. What I'm getting at is that I'm going to be submitting some pieces. It's a juried show, so hopefully I get at least one in. I'll try to keep you all up to date.
Wish me luck on my Spring Break! (It's supposed to snow :/ )
