Fisherman Watercolor/Marker

 A friend of mine at church wanted a drawing of a fisherman by a body of water.  This was my first time in a while drawing with markers/watercolors and I am pleased with how it turned out.  I will be doing more of these types of drawings in cafes and restaurants.

 

My Charcoal Examples from teaching class.

 

This past month I taught middle schoolers how to draw full figure with charcoal and newsprint.  It was great to be back in traditional mediums and to guide the next generation of artists.  I was pleased to see how well the students improved within 1 week.  At the end of class I did one last drawing and I was pleased to see how much I had improved as an artist.  The journey keeps going!  

Leaf Falling

 As I teach students how to animate, I do the assignment with them.  It has been fun and educational for me to go through the same assignments with them that I did as a student.

Dinosaur Animation

So for a month I taught my classes how to animate a character in Adobe Animate.  We created the characters in Photoshop, then exported the character into Animate.  Added some Royalty-Free Sound too.

This was fun to design!
 

Mom's Piece for her Birthday!

 I was recently commissioned by a old time family friend to make the following illustration for my mom.  To be Honest, I had to let the Holy Spirit lead me on how to draw this one.

 

Class Example- Robot

This month I was showing my class how to create a character from scratch using Photoshop.  This is the character I created and I hope it inspires them to grow.  

 

Old 3 Minute Sketch I found from years ago....

 

I was cleaning out old files and I found this old sketch I did in college.  It was a 3 minute drawing I did during a Drawing Workshop.  I like this drawing because I remember I was starting to get the understanding of depth in a drawing, something that took me a while to understand.  I still like the energy I was able to capture in this drawing.
