Summer Self-Portraits

Along with drawing in my sketchbook everyday this summer, I also did a self-portrait every week also. The first one that I did was done on May 15, and the last one that I did was August 11.

End of Summer sketches

These are the last drawings and spreads from my personal sketchbook this summer.  The last two drawings are the dorms at Memphis College of Art.

Knightly King

This is a small painting that I did a couple of weeks ago.  The original idea came from the silhouette illustrations from a year ago in my illustration class.  This was one of the original ones that I drew out and then painted.  I've always been told to never throw out old ideas, because you can use them again some day!

Astro News

After making my last illustration, Robot Reading, I decided to make another piece inspired by it.  This piece is of an astronaut reading a newspaper.

Sketchbook drawings!

A couple of weeks ago I promised that I would post more of what I have been doing in my sketchbooks this past summer.  During the month of June I managed to fill-up one sketchbook, and begin a new one at the beginning of the month.  These are some of my favorite spreads from the past month and a half.

Drawing Around Kansas City

So far this summer, I have been drawing everyday.  There has been a couple of days this summer, I would bring my sketchbook with me, and draw on location in my hometown of Kansas City.  I will be posting-up some more of my sketches that I have done so far this summer in a few days.
