Dessert – It’s finally finished!
An elven girl searches a cave looking for a special flower to heal her ailing brother and in using her powers to illuminate the cave awakens a sleeping dragon that has made it his resting place.
This has been the one of the most challenging pieces I’ve ever done but I think the effort and time [...]
Dessert
This piece has gone through a quite a few revisions to make it to this stage but I think I am finally starting to feel better about the results…or maybe I just want this to be finished so I that can move on to the next piece and in the process save my poor hubby [...]
It’s been a while
It’s been a while since I’ve posted something and so I thought I would share some closeups of a digital painting that I’ve been working on, both on and off during my moments of freedom between work and errands for the last few weeks.
After watching the movie, Avatar – gorgeous movie, by the way – [...]
This little piggy went to market…
Feet are one of the top problem areas for me, so I decided to tackle them head-on by drawing a lot of well…feet. I decided to start from the inside out but aside from the model skull I own, I don’t yet have an actual skeleton on hand to help me gain a better understanding [...]

What followed was some impressive responses from various artists, including none other than Wesley Burt, Justin “Coro” Kaufman, and Andrew [...]

Skull Sketch – Lateral View
Yesterday I finally got around to making use of the skull I bought a short while ago and I decided to begin with a lateral view study. I used a mechanical HB pencil of which I’m not accustomed for my drawings (except when drafting), often preferring to use a combination of woodless pencils instead. It [...]
Once upon a time…
Often when I’m sick and feeling restless, I’ll dig out an animation show or movie to watch and it usually makes me feel better. Last weekend was no exception and after watching Laputa: Castle in the Sky, I was inspired to do this piece.
The girl is a model I drew from one of my life [...]

The importance of drawing
Remember when you were a kid and loved to draw—just for the pure enjoyment of it? When you didn’t have a care in the world and time would slip away without you being aware of it? Ah, to have those days again!
When our right brain takes over, drawing can seem effortless but sometimes it is [...]
