Gel Pen Art!

    Hey everyone! I thought I would share this picture today. I started with a pencil sketch and then copied over it with gel pens. It was fun to do and I thought it was cool how it turned out.

A Few of My Favorite Drawings (part 2)

    Here are the rest of the drawings from my favorite list.

Rembrandt Van Rijn. This man was a famous artist. Portraits of people had always been the toughest to draw. They still are. I enjoy taking up the challenge once in a while.

This young girl is from a book cover. I don't remember what the book was called.

This is the Red Baron aka Manfred von Richthofen. The only reason I drew him was because I saw 

his picture in a book I was reading (I'm not sure which one.) and I thought to myself that he would make a cool drawing.  

Finally we have the elephants. I love elephants! I just think they are so cool. Especially the BABIES! They are just so darn cute! This was a fun watercolor project to do. I even had my own props. Since real live elephants would be impossible the toy models would have to do.

Well that covers my favorite pictures. I hope you enjoyed them! It was fun for me to be able to share these with you!

Cheer!

A few of my favorite drawings (part 1)

     Out of all the sketches I have done, these particular ones have remained my favorite.


    This one is the cover from 'Swiss Family Robinson' book. I liked this one because, at the time, it was the most complex project I ever did.

    This one is Alexander the Great. It is based off a white statue. (Hence the fact that he has strange eyes.)

    John Gunther. An author from my school literature book I believe. I thought his picture was cool  and I wanted to try out my new charcoal pencils. 

    I was and still am impressed with some of the famous artists out there. For fun I would try to imitate one of the really good artist. One being Leonardo da Vinci who painted ' Mona Lisa'. This was my take on the painting.

Part 2 should be coming soon. I hope you enjoyed these drawings!

Cheers!

It's a Monster!!!!!!

    A couple of days ago I discovered video of a guy doing optical illusion drawings. I got inspired and super super SUPER excited and I wanted to try some! I'll definitely be showing you the final pictures and I hope you enjoy. Here's one for starters. A Loch Ness Monster!!!!! 

Horses

    My favorite animal is the horse. I have liked horses since I was little and I loved to ride them. I would draw them all the time. Mostly because that was the only thing I was good at drawing back then. I don't ride as often now, but I still like to draw horses. It's a nice break from learning something new. My favorite kind are the big draft horses.
