Here are the portfolio samples...

Greetings "Better Artist" Classmates!

Here are my first drawing samples (click image for larger version):

This is a five minute Quick Sketch from a Gesture class I took a couple of months ago. Done in markers.

Another Quick Sketch in Ebony pencil.

Another Quick Sketch.  We were supposed to add props to tell a story.

An experiment in water color still life.

Graphite on toned paper.  I love the style often used in Concept Art where they use dark ink on toned paper with white accents.  (You'll probably see some of that from me in the coming weeks.)

That's all for now.  Thanks for looking.

See you in class!
