Faces

Here is one of the first faces, or portraits, I remember drawing. I didn't really get into drawing portraits until after high school. This particular one was drawn in 2001. It seemed to be the start of portraiture for me. Even though I had started drawing babies much sooner, it wasn't until 2001 that I started branching out to toddler and adult portraits. I happen to love the quirkiness of this sketch.

Innocence

 

Here's another sketch from some time ago, most likely late high school or early college. I love drawing children because of their softer features. They also have the best expressions.

Stride

We have been in the process of moving, which has included getting rid of quite a bit of stuff. In the process of sorting through our rather large collection of things I ran across these sketches I had drawn in college. I think feet are a fascinating subject. They can be quite awkward, yet rather graceful all at the same time, which is one (or is that two) of the reasons I enjoyed (and still enjoy) sketching them.
