Sketchbook and Misc. Drawings

On this page, I'll put drawings from my sketchbook, preliminary drawings, pictures drawn for fun or family, and whatever else doesn't fit the categories on the other pages.

I often draw images from a paused VCR -- or more recently, DVD player.  I do this for reference, but more frequently, just for practice.  It's good practice for drawing the head at various angle, and how shadows fall on faces.  I try to force myself to draw actors, old people, etc., but more often I'll draw actresses -- It's more fun.

The Jane Morris drawings are from old photos printed in various books.  Jane Morris was the wife of designer/poet/socialist William Morris, and model and muse to Pre-Raphaelite painter/poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti.  I drew these quite some time ago, but inked them just a few years ago to save them from smudging away in an old sketchbook.

I'll be adding drawings, from time to time, as new interesting stuff is drawn and as I rediscover some old stuff, currently packed away in boxes.
