Concepcion

I was very pleased with the technique used with this one.  I have gotten many nice drawings and paintings with Cep as the model.

At least three years ago...

...probably more.  I love how this figure just moves in and out of the abstract background.  Would love to do more like this.

Let's post some old stuff

Maybe some greatest hits, such as they are, or some of the ones I haven't posted before.  Whatever strikes my fancy.  This is one I haven't posted.  Had a lot of potential just not enough time.

Merry Christmas to all

I'm taking a couple of days off to focus on family and friends.  Thank you to everyone who stops by to check out my chicken scratchings.  I really appreciate the kind words and the interest people from all over the world have in my works.  This would never have been possible before the 'net.  Merry Christmas to all and I'll see you in a couple of days.

No drawing for a couple of weeks so...

This is one I drew as a gift for the model.  She has done a lot of posing for me in the past so I thought I'd do one for her birthday tomorrow.  I had her recreate the Jeff Jones painting "Black Skirt" for me.  One of my all time favorite images.  I hope she likes this.

Takin' a break

Had some fun shapes and perspective on this.

Torso study

I like the shapes and some of the line work in this one.  Britain is fun to draw and we appreciate her willingness to pose for us.

Rest for the weary

A little head study.  I like the simple lines and peaceful look.

Chalk

Ran out of time with the face.  I got started but it wasn't working and then 'ding' the timer ended my quest for a finished drawing.  Too bad, I really like this one (even as it is).

Britain

Of course, I can't not say "Britain's Back".  It's like trying to keep my eyes open when I sneeze.

Favorite of the evening

I had a blast doing this head study.  So many little planes to explore and, as usual, losing so many edges.  Terra cotta seems to make everything more interesting.

More of The Sculptor

This was conté rather than chalk.  Easier to accomplish  the end result but I think I enjoyed the challenge of building up the drawing more as in yesterday's post.  Still, I like the finished piece.

Some chalk

I found a little terra cotta chalk in my mess of a art box.  Thought it came out pretty well.  Takes a bit more effort to get the results but I enjoyed the process.

Jeff to the rescue

Lost our scheduled model at the last moment so we turned to Jeff and he came through.  Thank you, sir.

Taking a rest

Final drawing of the night.  A new set tomorrow.

Favorite drawing of the night

I am very happy with this drawing.  This is the kind of image that I like best.

A little quick study

I kind of like the technique I used in this one.  Not a look I'd like to do a lot of but it sort of shakes things up and refocuses me.

Head Study

When Tyson is our model I tend to do a lot of head studies as he has some very interesting features to his face.  A lot of planes to work with and no obvious distracting "landmarks", such as prominent eyebrows or severe cheek bones.  A challenge I relish.
