This is what happened when I got carried away with the watercolours

These are a couple of drawings done for a Drawing of The Week contest some of us have going on facebook. I drew Elvis without pencil or eraser, only straight up ink. That's why it looks so rubbish. The other one is a drawing of a random person I found on FB whose name I forgot so I guess he will never see this...that's probably for the best.

Flowers

I drew these flowers back in 2007 using pen and ink

Drips

Here are 2 of the first "Drip Style" paintings I completed, both in early 2009. Basically I have dripped acrylic paints onto a surface from various angles and let it dry. Then I have taken a fine liner and a bolder black marker and outlined the shaped made by the paint. I have also added shading to many of the larger drips to create a more 3D feel. My idea was to create a surface that was bold and textured, something that you want to touch.

Biro

This is a drawing of a wooden sculpture that was in the classroom during a Drawing 3 class I took. I'm pretty sure it wasn't assigned, it just beat listening to my teacher talk about the basics of shading with pencil to the Drawing 1 people who were lumped into the same class. Yeah, NOVA sucks.

Colour Wheel

Honestly, I hated making this. It took forever to mix the colours just right, and even then I managed to make a bunch of mistakes. I'm enjoying looking at it now though, so I thought it deserved a place in my blog.

More Quick Doodles

Here are a couple of admittedly terrible drawings of my friends. I'm going to save myself the embarrassment and not tell you who they are. Just know that they are drawn from photographs left at my house as part of my friend Amanda's April Fools prank. I'm just leaving them here to fill up space ;)
