This one was special.

This was an illustration I did of my friend for her upcoming birthday. Took me quite some time to finish because I was really slow with everything. I wanted to try and be as accurate as I could. Especially since I wasn't working from that great of a photo. There are still some things I see in it that I don't like, but I tried my best within the time span. I had to send it to her quickly so that it will arrive around the time of her actual birthday. The tools I used on this one were various forms of charcoal pencil, compressed charcoal, and I did the highlights with a white charcoal pencil.

Been a while.

I don't think I've posted a drawing here since my school semester ended. Here's one though. Just some random girl I found on Facebook that I just had to draw.

Just one drawing to show.

Uploaded this one drawing from my newsprint pad. Guess I might as well show it here. Took me a little over an hour to do, but I didn't get to work on the finishing touches as much as I wanted to. Hopefully with more practice, I'll get faster.

Back in action.

Been a while. Here are some more drawings. Various times. 5 to 30 minutes. All compressed charcoal.

Hola, more drawings.

Here are some more illustrations. All down with compressed charcoal on newsprint.

Another drawing. Yay.

Portrait of my grandmother. I'm not very fond of this one. I think I got a lot of the proportion wrong near the eyes. Also, the shading isn't my best. But, I had been working on it for a while, so I thought I would just let it be. The damage had been done so to speak.

Here's another drawing.

Here's another drawing I did for one of my classes. It's a dual composition piece. I took two photographs of two people and combined them into one picture composition. Took me a few hours to complete.
