Some 20 minutes and a self portrait

This is the first time I have attempted an online art blog. Hopefully I can regularly update this with various sketches and artwork every week. *crosses fingers*

On the left are two 20 minute drapery and figure drawings that I thought were successful. On the right is a self portrait I completed for John Clapp's class last semester. We had to base the theme of the portrait around a word that described ourselves, and I chose the word "disheveled". I portrayed that word by literally scribbling in ball-point pen. The darker the area, the more I scribbled; the lighter the area, the less condensed the scribbles were. I really enjoyed making it; it was probably the most relaxing piece I made for the class.
