Seated Woman

An old figure drawing that I did in college. I was more into value than line at that time.

Billy Goats Gruff

Here's another old Billy Goats Gruff drawing.

Fortune

My entry for Illustration Friday. This was going to be a lot more elaborate, with some other images in the background, but I couldn't figure out how to do it in Photoshop! I feel like I'll *never* figure this program out, and I study, too!

Still Life with Pumpkin

My mom came to visit me one year and was delighted to find Orangina here, "Like they have in France!" I kept one of the bottles. I like the shape and texture of the glass, but it's difficult to put it into a composition because it's so bottom heavy. I like experimenting with different colored fabrics for backgrounds. At one point I liked going around the rainbow, doing one painting on a white background, one on a yellow background, orange, red, etc. That's my obsessive-compulsive side showing itself.

Billy Goats Gruff

I drew this as an assignment for a cartooning class that I took in college. I usually don't draw with colored pencil but I thought it fit this illustration well. I really like goats, so it was a lot of fun to research goat pictures.
