My Nephews

Over the holidays I drew my nephews.

My Sketches

Here are some various practice sketching from photographs in books and other artist's work.

This page has watercolor, crayon, ballpoint pen, pencil and ink. Drew the faces from Robert Beverly Hale's book "Master Class in Figure Drawing" and James Jean's book "Process Recess vol.3". 11" by 15"

Pencil sketches from the "Illustration" magazine issue #25. 11" by 13"

Ballpoint pen sketches from the "American Photobooth" by Nakki Goranin. 9.5" by 12"

80th Birthday Caricature

I hope I look this good when I turn 80 years old! This is a gift caricature where I wanted its style to reflect the dapper person. So I did not overly exaggerate it and went for an editorial style. The 11" by 14" illustration was done with PITT artist pens, water color washes and Prisamacolor Col-Erase pencils.

I was thinking about the great work of David Levine while drawing the cross hatching.

The client sent me a note saying " AWESOME job!!! We love it, it reflects very well his personality... You are so talented! Thank you!"
