A new model – new to me anyway – and some new media, gave my drawing a much needed boost last Friday and I was quite pleased with the results. The portrait above was done with graphite – a nice thick, soft stick of graphite. Ears, for your your information, are very difficult to draw [...]

One of the drawing assignments I gave my class this summer was texture. I borrowed the texture hand worksheet from my colleague at PVHS who also gave me the idea for the texture animal combining at least three different animals. Quite by accident I happened to spy the texture animal below while riding my bike [...]

Earlier today I got a shot for tennis elbow but my entire arm – mostly my shoulder – hurts like a mother right now. My mother is hurting me too. So in view of my injuries, all I can offer you right now is a short pose. Fear not – longer poses coming.

Like an out of shape runner, I’ve taken up drawing again…but I’m out of practice! I have no stamina. I could barely get through the two hour class!

It’s been a few weeks but I return with the regular Wednesday Doodle feature and it’s another one of Max’s doodles from years ago. Oh the twisted imagination of the male adolescent. Before I forget, I have a few links I wanted to share with you. The Ministry of Cats turned me on to the [...]

Ok these are a little more sophisticated than your average doodle, I grant you that. They started life as drawings Max made more than 10 years ago. When I started learning web design in 1998, I scanned them, turned them into .gifs and made Max a mini-web site to showcase these characters. The website is [...]

Here’s the scenario: bored and stranded at the airport, the kids steal my gold pen and proceed to doodle. I believe this was most likely a joint effort. I think Alice has the makings of a future designer or interior decorator. On a totally unrelated note, here’s what I was working on a year ago [...]

Don’t you just love little girl doodle drawings?
