Winter Break

Over the start of winter break I spent a little over a week traveling around China, which was great. While there it's fun to do some shopping where I found some cute little sketchbooks and one filled with tone paper! which I was very excited about.

Also it is Youri Dekker's birthday! so I decided to post a little caricature I did of him HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :)

Some Sketchbook Pages from Summer

Over the summer I ended up going to a couple of art museums and sketched at them, these ones are from when I was in Madrid.

Pen Studies

I've been trying to draw more in pen lately to get more comfortable with it; so I did some portrait masterwork studies all from different favorite artists of mine. Here are a few that I had alot of fun doing.  : )

Shedd Aquarium

This past week a certain fellow artist (Youri Dekker)came to visit me in Chicago and we decided to go practice sketching animals from life at the shedd aquarium downtown which was alot of fun and explains why my sketchbook is now filled with fish.

and this was just a cute father and daughter looking at the fish:)

Head Studies

I had to go to the Stanford art museum for art history but when I was there I got to see a lot of great busts by Rodin and  portraits which made great head studies that were fun to do. :)

This one not from Stanford but just a pretty face to try and draw.

Quick Update

Just felt like posting some quick sketches before final projects start to get crazy soon:)

Winter Sketchbook I never posted

Working on my winter sketchbook was a long time ago but I never posted any work from it so I thought I might as well now...looking back at it was I wish I was more adventurous with other mediums but here's some pages I did while traveling with just having a pencil:)
