Charcoal, My Enemy

I avoid charcoal at all costs because it's just very hard and frustrating to use \8.. But I know I'm going to have to use it at Ringling, so I want to get it down before I get there so I don't embarrass myself in front of my teachers/peers by turning out a bunch of sloppy crap, so..!! I found this black and white photo of Alpacino that wasn't too highly saturated and decided it would be a good reference. This is the final product:



I'd love some tips for charcoal q_q PLEASE.

March 11th Figure Drawing

Some figures from last Friday's 3 hour session!

Huskies

These are all about a week old, I just got around to scanning a batch of recent art today. Essentially I LOVE huskies. We had one when I was really little, I can't even remember him, but I've seen photos and such and he was so cute. We don't have him anymore because he ran away into the woods behind our old house and was probably killed by coyotes ]: But anyways! I REALLY love them, they're one of my favorite breeds, and it sort of makes me sad when people draw them with big huge eyes and such to make them really cute, when their eyes make them so cute already ;v; SO I just wanted to stick to how they are and spoil you all with husky puppies {;






And then an Erf ;)



Enjoi!

Let's Do Lunch ;*

I've come to discover that the Oprah Winfrey Network is very good sometimes!! And there's all these shows on animal hoarding and people who've gone a little nuts and stories of people who've had crazy sicknesses and !!! It's a lotttt and I like it so sometimes I just plop on down by the tv with my sketchbook and doodle. And tonight I stayed up extra late watching one of the crazy sicknesses shows while I colored this happy sketch haha.



I felt like drawing something cute and they're cute so it was perfect {:
