Bird Skull Drawing

This is a drawing in process: first the sketch, rendered approximately life size. Then the next is a carbon dust drawing done at the same size. The bones are all in place, but it's too small for all the details of the smaller bones. Now I am working on a scaled up version which will allow me to draw in the details of the small bones.

Eggplant Studies

Here are three versions of eggplant drawings. The first is graphite on Strathmore 500 plate. The second is carbon dust on bristol vellum. The third is carbon dust on Clayboard. This series was really about trying out carbon dust techniques and comparing it to the graphite drawing. I really enjoy working in carbon dust and I have many more drawings planned and started.
