This sketch is the reason that I should get back into pencil drawing. I actually find it more difficult than pen and ink now, and it’s my own fault.

 

 

These two pages out of my sketchbook are a good example of the kind of thing I draw on a day to day basis. I did this in school in 2005 and enjoyed every moment of it.

 

An illustration doodle from high school. I liked the whimsy in the poem. 

Watercolour in a sketch book

 

I did this in January of my senior year of high school. This scan is actually only half of the painting- it was too large to fit on my scanner and I lack editing software to properly paste two scans together. I am still proud of this one, which is saying something since I’m looking back on it from three years distance.

This is a cropped-down version of a pencil drawing I did in my Senior year of high school. I’ve always been fascinated with ancient Egypt and especially the pharoahs.

It’s not great, but it was the best pencil drawing that I had done to date.

Another moleskine sketch. Done on (apparently) September 13th, 2007.

I don’t remember where the quote is from.

 

 

 

 

This was a five minute acrylic “sketch” that I did about three years ago. I was incredibly frustrated with another realistic painting and so fell back on semi-abstract.

Abstract painting is the great condolence of the ill-trained.
