We’ve started doing quicker poses. This one is 20 min. I tried using vine charcoal to help speed up the process. 11×14″ on drawing paper.

Penguin Pencil Test
Now for something completely different! This is a pencil test for “Penguins Can’t Fly” without the ending. Some of the pauses will be longer than they are now. It will be entered in the SoDak Animation Festival. Animation created solely on the Ipad.
Another Night of Life Drawing
I have been creating larger life drawings, I’ve always preferred larger scale. This is 18″x24″ on Tan Strathmore paper with oil pastel. I like to use oil pastel now because it’s not as fragile as soft pastel, and I’m doing them in sketch book form.
Life Drawing Night
I don’t usually choose a viewing angle from behind the model. I ought to do so more often.
Female Life Drawing
Our model turns 21. We haven’t had a female model available for awhile. I liked this lighting and pose. This color paper works well. I will stick with it when I can.
Poor Froggy
No frogs were injured in the making of this animation. I enjoyed sketching this one, and recording the sound. Can you guess how I made the last sound?
Happy Halloween Animation
Hope you had a good one!
Last Night’s Life Drawing
I liked this pose and I’m happy with how we set up the lighting. I like working with hard pastel for life drawing. 11×16″
New Life Drawing of Female Nude
Our room where we normally do our life drawing at the Art Museum was occupied for the evening. We ended up in a store room, but there was grand piano, what luck! I have to work that in later. I see I drew piano too small so I will have to fix that. I spent my hour and a half concentrating on the figure and getting it done. The hands were fanned out and toes were curled, that was most challenging, but I think that worked. Polychromos Pastel on Brown Pastel Paper 12×19″. I liked the Polychromos Pastels would like to have set of 60. 😉
Thumbnail sketch of Book Cover
This is a rough concept sketch for the front and back cover of “David’s Journey; A Lost Boy of Sudan”. Yes, after much debate between my coleagues it has a title now. 😉 The image depicts 1000 mile walk to Kenya. Next I will draw a actual size drawing or maybe I’ll draw it at a 127% which is the size I will render it.
