Attempts

The first picture is a very feeble attempt at shading. The entire drawing as a whole was a shading exercise. As you can see, I failed on it, but, “There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.” - Colin Powell. And if you'll notice, my family got front row seats to the fantastic "Lameini". It goes (left to right) me, dad, mom, Carson, then Chase.



The second was somewhat inspired by the movie "Shark Tale". Actually, I was thinking about methods of murder of the mafia while writing a research report for my English class. Suddenly, the whole anchor-tied-to-feet-and-thrown-off-a-cliff-into-the-ocean concept sprang into my mind. As I thought more, I contemplated, if there were an aquatic mafia...

New Stuff

So I heard recently that, in order to accomplish greatness in art, you need to know the human body. So here is my skull, hand, and guy doing a dramatic pose. Obviously there's no way I could have done this freehand yet, so it is apparent that I need to do a mini-bibliography. I copied these drawings out of a book called, "Anatomy for the Artist: The Dynamics of the Human Form" by Tom Flint and Peter Stanyer.
I will continue doing things out of this book in the future, and, when I'm ready, try to do an original.
