More Charcoal Drawings

Some more charcoal drawings. The first one is a copy of a photograph taken by Neil Armstrong of his colleague Buzz Aldrin during the 1969 US Moon Landing. I really impressed myself with this one!




Charcoal Animal Studies

Here are some animal studies I did in Drawing I. There were tons of beautifully preserved creatures, and I think I picked the best four: a baby alligator, blowfish, scorpion claws, and a magnificent blue butterfly.





Paintings

Well, this self-portrait turned out better than I anticipated! I'm starting to miss my long hair. The painting of the limp arm is a copy of an Alex Kanevsky (of whom I had the pleasure of displaying to when he visited my college!). You can check out more of his work here. I'm still digging around for the sketches to my still life studies.



Hands, Feet, and Chest

Some charcoal sketches of my hands, feet, and totally ripped abs (haha, I wish).




More Life Drawings


Charcoal Face Study



Pop Art, Fauvism, and Neo-Expressionism

These paintings are from a project for 2D Design, featuring three genres: Pop, Fauvism, and Neo-Expressionism. The pop art reminds me of a Beatles album cover. Fauvism was fun painting. Didn't care too much for the Neo-Expressionism, I guess because it left me a little too open to interpretation.



Life Drawing Sketches

























Charcoal Line Drawings

Some things are just too hard to throw away, like a good old pair of sneakers.


2D Design Paintings

This first painting is a little reminiscent of Hans Hoffman. You can check out his work here.
