This illustration is loosely based off of the greek myth of "The Fall of Icarus".  I changed it to be a self-portrait of me, flying away in the city.

One Hundred Circles

In my sketchbook this past week, I drew and painted one hundred circles.  Each circle had to be a different color, and I had to make each circle in to a different recognizable image.  These are my top 25 favorites.  

Sketchbook

This is the last sketchbook update for summer 2013! I have been drawing for the majority of the summer, which has really helped improved my drawing skills.

I went to the Memphis Zoo yesterday to sketch some animals. 

More Sketchbook Stuff!

Summer is a little past half-over, and I've been drawing in my sketchbook everyday.  This is some of the spreads from my sketchbook since the last posting.

A few sketches of my cat, Sam.

Drawing on the Fourth of July while waiting for fireworks to shoot off in Leawood, KS.

A tree in my backyard that is splitting in half and is almost ready to be cut down.

And drawing at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.
