Lazy at Taylor

There is a stereotype about people with darker skin colors being lazy because sometimes it's true. This guy was at my workplace for a cleaning job and all he did was use his phone in the office. This was great because he sat still so I could draw him.

Hailey

When I was sitting in the art building lobby during my last semester of college, I made friends with this girl. It's a shame that one of the guys from my video group offended her by asking for sex. Social interactions were never the same after that.

Actors from book

I was sitting in the art building lobby at college during breaks 2 or 3 times per week for a whole semester. There was a book on the table and I worked multiple days to draw this photo from it. I shaded the whole page with charcoal, laid down black sharpie, erased, added charcoal and then white conte.

Denny's Girl

I was sitting in a Denny's near Buffalo, NY with my friend, Mike. We were getting lots of coffee and I was drawing because neither of us had anything better to do. This was either pencil or conte and crayon.

Inside Out Woman #2

Figure drawing 2018. Matching skeleton with projected model image again. I think this one looks better than the other.

Inside Out Woman #1

Figure drawing class 2018. The prof said to match the skeleton model with the projected image. My foreshortening on the leg is not the best, but I think it looks alright otherwise.

Anonymous Girl Portrait

This was done for figure drawing class in 2018. The professor projected a photo on a screen. I was amazed at how little drawing from life happened in that class. I was under the impression that figure drawing would include live models, but that only happened 3 times in the whole semester.

Grasshopper Draft

This was for a drawing class in 2016 or 2017. The professor said to use contrasting colors and I busted this bad boy out in about half an hour. I had to work fast in that class because the professor was the type who would draw on students' work with a #2 pencil (hard to erase) so I had to finish everything before she came around to wreck it. Then I would tell her that it was easier and faster to start over than correct anything. One of my projects ended up being done on both sides of the paper.
