Art Alley, Rapid City SD

This is an 11x14 drawing of an alley in Rapid City, SD. It was rendered in Prismacolor markers, Copic Markers, white Sharpie, and a G2 Pilot pen. It was my first attempt at a cityscape, and it was a lot of fun! The part I like best is the wall to the right. The parts I wish I could re-do are the bricks that make up the road, and the towers in the background.

Dog

This is my first real animal portrait, and it didn't turn out too bad. It was drawn in white prismacolor and black graphite pencils on grey toned paper.

Jonah

11x14 prismacolor and graphite pencil

This is a portrait of my son, done in graphite pencil and prismacolor pencil. The eyes are finished with a copic marker. There are some things that could be better, but for the most part, I love how this turned out!I liked the self portrait I completed earlier last year so much, I wanted to try another in the same style.

Forest hike

This is a pen and marker drawing completed with Prisamcolor markers and Copic markers, and a Pilot G-2 pen. I love how it turned out!

Here are some close-ups of sections of the drawing.

















































































































I should mention that many of the forest elements were inspired by the work of artist Philippe Fix, though modified to fit my style.

Black furniture

This is a drawing of a vanity I used to own. It was painted black in life, which isn't too interesting in itself, so I had fun experimenting with adding other colors to make it more exciting.  I created it intentionally sketchy and imprecise; I love how it turned out.  This drawing is about 11x14, done with pen, and markers- both Prismacolor and Copic.
