In order to make up for not posting anything for a while, I'm going to upload a bunch of gestures a bit later. They were all done from life, most of them in about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Compressed charcoal.

Another live drawing, done in about two hours. Pencil.

I hope everyone enjoyed the blast from my past sketchbook upload -- from now on I'll be posting current sketchwork and finished pieces only. Here is a drawing that I did earlier today from life. It was about two hours of work, give or take. Pencil on paper.

These were sketches done for a self-portrait of a bunch of isolate characteristics of myself

This was a funny thing done for a friend

These were done for a school project - I had to create a composition which was still effective after more things were added.

This was an idea sketch for a painting I did of my friend.

These were all done in preparation for a self-portrait.

These three were part of a mandala-type design that I made for a close friend of mine. If you follow the (hard to read, I know) numbers, you can see the progression through ideas.

These two were for a painting class -- given a title, we had to create an image. Mine was "The Beautiful Bird Revealing the Unknown to a Pair of Lovers."

A landscape sketch.

Some of my friends here are playing music atop the Pillar of Autumn

Settling on a final idea for a portrait.
