Title: My very first tablet drawing
Year: 2007
Medium: Digital
Format: 300px by 331px
Details: Be nice! It’s my very first shot at drawing with my new graphic tablet on my computer. It’s pretty tough getting used to using a pen instead of a mouse, even if you wouldn’t think it would be. I’m very excited to have one though, and it’s been fun learning!

Title: “Glass and ‘Water’”
Year: 1999
Medium: Graphite
Format: 11″ x 14″, sketch journal #2
Art Class: ART 003b at California State University, Chico
Details: This was an assignment focusing on the study of glass and water. Unfortunately, I was at a college friend’s house the evening before it was due, and I realized that there wasn’t any non-alcoholic related glassware anywhere in the house. Oh well, I still got an ‘A’ on the assignment. :) Glass and water is one of my favorite subjects to draw because you never really realize how much is going on in the glass until the overhead lights are turned off and a spotlight is placed on the glass. All of a sudden there are streaks of light and dark everywhere on the glass. There is absolutely no way to represent everything happening onto your paper.

Year: 1998
Medium: Charcoal vines and white Conte Crayon on black paper
Format: 18″ x 24″, unframed
Art Class: ART 003A at California State University, Chico

Details: For this assignment we filled in the highlights and “gray tones” with charcoal vines and white conte crayon. The idea was to let the black of the paper come through to form the shadows and dark regions.

As you can see I’m extremely creative with the titles of my art. Um, yeah… anyways…
Title: Study for ‘Wild Tree’
Year: 1998
Medium: Graphite (4h to 9b)
Format: 8.5″ x 11″, Sketch Journal inside cover
Other Versions: In-progress, version 1
Details: I’ve already started a final piece for this idea (finished it will be 14″ x 17″), but haven’t finished it yet (surprise, surprise). There’s a whole “idea” behind this piece, which I am going to wait and explain it when I post the final drawing at a later date. This study doesn’t do the concept justice.

Art Class: ART 003a at California State University, Chico

Details: For this assignment we covered an entire sheet of paper with charcoal. Then we had to erase the charcoal in places to reveal the appropriate amount of gray or white in order for the still life to take shape.

Medium: Charcoal on white paper
Format: 18″ x 24″, unframed
Art Class: ART 003a at California State University, Chico
Source: Still life
Details: I started taking art classes in the fall of 1998 because I was having a hard time with the idea of keeping my accounting degree. The professor of this particular course had us use a slightly different technique for this assignment which involved us covering an entire sheet of paper with charcoal. Then we had to erase the charcoal in places to reveal the appropriate amount of gray or white in order for the still life to take shape. We were only to use the charcoal pieces again if we were adding depth to specific areas (i.e. in the folds).
