Nudes - Figure Drawing

I used to be quite proud of these until I was able to see the flaws in anatomy. I still think for their time I did I good job.

Self-Portrait in Pastels

This was a self-portrait in pastels for Materials & Methods class in college. I always loved this medium. My teacher back then was Dan Yaccarino, the well-known children's book illustrator with television credits such as Oswald and the Backyardigans. Looking back I wish I had gotten to know my teachers better rather than flirting in the hallways with some silly ex-boyfriend. Dan used to usher me into class practically. Stupid STEWpid youth.

Stuffed Rhino

Here's a sketch I did in the first year of college. It's interesting to look back and see where I was then and what I would do differently now. I believe this was at the Museum of Natural History but don't quote me on that.

They Read ,They Ponder...

Inspired by all the fantastic sketchblogs out there I decided it was time to put up my own. I hope to use this as motivation to continue to grow and learn .
Here are a few older drawings that I had never scanned in and would now like to share. Grumpy Ballerina was a 10-20 minute charcoal drawing. The other two were subway sketches in pen & ink/ pencil while homeward bound.
