These are some drawings from my early years getting back to drawing and developing my eye to see again.
I would take my grandmother to church and draw the backs of peoples heads to see If I could capture who it is from a different perspective. Fun thing is everyone could recognize who it is.
This one above is the father of the top drawing. It is interesting to me to look back at this time in my life as I started to become more comfortable with a pencil in my hands again.
These studies also allowed me to observe how hair flows.
I would draw with what ever materials I had on hand. This one was in pen and started my exploration in to the variations a pen can make in marks on paper.
I like to draw names as it is something unique to a person and can put a smile on most faces :)
Some time I tried to draw more than just the back of the head to see if I could draw more of the moment.
Some drawings are more stylistic
Some drawing I did on the front of the papers they gave us.
This is my Eye of Prayer drawing I did from that time. These drawings were done in 2005 and 2006 at a time in my life when I hit reset and started over. Pretending like I just graduated highschool with a really weird dream of years gone by. I started over and redefined myself as an Artist. I spent many many hours drawing and observing and deciding to see more beauty in my world. I hope you take the time to hit reset not and then and start over.
