DRAWINGS
Lately, I haven't really been able to make drawings as separate works of art that stand on there own, mostly I draw for study; studies for paintings and as a way figure out, understand and explore what it is that I observe. I am hoping to start some life size full figural pieces in the next couple of years, I've been researching different surfaces, but haven't found one that can handle the scale of the drawing I'm looking for. A number of the studies below are for an Anatomy booklet that I self published for my students. Its available for download for 10 bucks.Portrait Anatomicae
