Vanderpoel Eyes




Along with the work I did in my figure drawing class, I decided to copy some of the great drawings of the eye in The Human Figure by John Vanderpoel.

3 guys




I took some random photos of the crowd across the street from us at our last 4th of July parade (a very hot day). I was hoping I'd capture some interesting faces to paint or draw. Trying here to improve my oil painting/color skills, as well as apply some things learned in my anatomy class.

MI Tree



I did some drawing on our recent vacation in Michigan.
This is a tree I liked situated on the bluff overlooking the lake.

Had what felt like a productive night at my Figure Drawing class last week. Looking forward to tomorrow night.
