Would you like to know when I post up some new work? Just type in your email below and I’ll be happy to send you the occasional email telling you about my new works.
This is an example of where my head goes when I’m not doing a study. I like drawing these kind of things but I’m afraid that I the work would be categorized as a cartoon, so I work with a lot of studies to try to bring it back into a more serious realm, whatever that is, and for whatever it’s worth.
I am currently playing around with techniques that allow me the freedom of using digital devices to draw and paint not necessarily more easily but more fearlessly. My plan is to merge digital with traditional, not necessarily “embellishing” but using the digital as an underpainting and glazing color and detail on top.
I’m working with a variety of surfaces as outputted substrate, suited to the work. And using pastels (right now) and attempting to glaze with them. I’m doing this to create an original painting. I suppose it would be classified as mixed media.
Right now there aren't hundreds of works for you to have to go into page after page of archive to retrieve. I'm taking this rebuild kind of slow and I'll only be including work that I think should be here, not every little thing that I do. So if you are an early viewer you can watch this grow.
I won't push you to subscribe, though it would make it easier to keep up in the future. Since I'm not producing a work every day or even every week, I won't be "nagging" you to come visit. Just when I have done something new that I think you might be interested in. So don't worry about missing anything, you won't have to dig too deep, yet.
This is one in part of a series of notable people who attended or taught at Central State and or Wilberforce University. An old friend offered an idea after seeing some of my work on FB and I have decided to take him up on it and work on a few pieces depicting these wonderful people who have had such and influence on HBCU’s, specifically the aforementioned.
This drawing was motivated by my sister and how she was wearing her hair that day. I thought it was different and since I’m fighting with drawing hair or to be more precise trying to find my own way in drawing hair I thought that her style that day would present me with a challenge.
Gestural figure drawing done in Adobe Sketch and ported over to Tayasui Sketches for the watercolor bits. It is one of a few gestural figurative that I started drawing with my old iPad prior to 2018. I was likely using a Wacom Stylus or the old Pencil tool that I carried with me before Apple Pencil. This figure had no reference and I was testing the pen and ink with watercolor applications because that is what I use to work with long ago in traditional mediums.
My art is a journey, I hope you participate, contribute, and learn along with me.
