Old Drawings

I have these images on facebook, but they are terrible pictures, because I didn't give much thought to them. I did take better photos for my official portfolio when I was applying to art school, but I never posted them anywhere. Today, with the help of a professional photographer, I was able to take some really hi-resolution photos. The original jpegs are gigantic and can be blown up enormously. Here is only a sampling. I think I'll put more up, since I have more at hand. 



My titles for my serious drawings are really bad/uncreative. I would like to call this Untitled Pear, because I can't remember the original. This is the oldest drawing of the bunch. If you look closely, you can see faint gridlines, which is how I drew this image.
Medium: Graphite and Pastel





 This might be called Electric String. If it isn't, I think it still works. 
Medium: charcoal and pastel. 







First, time I have shown this painting online. It is one of my most recent pieces artwork. I have never painted before so excuse my technique. It's unfinished right now, but I don't feel like working on it right now. I also have no title for it. So right now, I think I would call it a general concept. Medium: Oil Paint


I don't explain my work much at all. If there are any questions concerning subject matter, and someone actually asks, I will attempt to answer, but it will be very vague.

A Random Bunch


So I decided to show what my sketches usually look like and that I really don't just draw silly "fashion" sketches all the time. I actually don't too much, I just think they are interesting to draw. The #24 and #25 are examples of what my quick sketches actually look like. They are both drawn with graphite. I thought inking them would take away from the freshness and subtlety of both drawings. 

Scribb #26
 Well, this is a ballerina. 




Scribb #25
 This woman has hair.





These are what my drawings usually look like. 

Scribb #24






I actually like drawing these sort of images. In fact, my real portfolio has a bunch of bizarre drawings. I have some paintings that would fit that category and I plan to put them on here later, when I'm not lazy. I might do that tomorrow. 

Scribb # 23





OH, so I really like drawing fluffy birds. Not sure if the ones below are well executed, but I think the concept worked. :D

Scribb # 22




I like this bird better. It's a bit blurry and that is totally my fault. 

Scribb #21

Crude

Several Scribbs at once, but I won't number them since these are such rough ideas.
So please excuse these sketches, a couple of them are really terrible, but its the ideas that count. 

So I am considering doing odd little illustrations and selling prints on etsy. And these are the basic concepts for some ideas. I will insert captions, since some may be difficult to see due to Lack of color. 


I think this one is almost straight forward. It's a lobster preparing sushi. 






A woman fighting with a clam for her pearl necklace. 





A hamburger patty chasing down its kill. OH, and those snake-like things would be ketchup and mustard....I might include a mayo packet.





A swan's discovery of its paper counterpart. (On second thought, I think that paper creature is actually a paper crane...but...whatever.)




A very cold icecube. 





I guess this is a political sort of image? I thought it was kind of funny.


(Also, the random writings/scribbles in blue ink are just notes to myself.)
