Some of my early works (1989)

 

 

A little girl

 

 

The works displayed in this section were done while I was taking a drawing class from Eddie Hood at Butte Community College in Oroville, CA.  This was right after I graduated from high school and had begun my engineering studies.

 

 

‘A little girl’ was drawn from the cover of a National Geographic.  I focused most of my attention on the eyes to capture the expression that was evident in them.  I also experimented with charcoal for the background, which I have to say didn’t work as well as I would have liked.

 

 

The portrait of a Young Woman was done from a photograph that one of my fellow students (Carolee) brought to class for me to work on.  It was a photograph of her daughter.  I thought she was quite beautiful, so I was happy to render this drawing.

The various objects were simply used as mediums to experiment with shading textures of wood and metal.

Ok, I admit it.  I haven’t been doing much the last few years.  {sigh}

 

 

 

 

Cartoon experiment

 

 

 

 

 

The cartoon scenes above were an experiment using colored pencil and computer coloring.

I think the computer coloring adds a sharpness that the colored pencil can’t achieve.

 

 

 

 

 

This little tid-bit was done for the ending game scene for Gymkana – The Epsilon Games.  I was going for a superhero stance.
