This was my final project for the "Portrait Sketchbooking" course by Gabriela Niko on Domestika.

SteveO with his arms up. An old ballpoint pen sketch from several years ago. Red Bic pen layer converted to black and white.

This is a little practice run with faces, all drawn from my head without sketching in pencil first.

An automatic drawing, everything is out of my head with only the briefest idea of a story line. I played around with shapes and lines and shading to see what affect would result. It was fun, but time consuming.

Random portraits found on earthsworld.com rendered with mechanical pencil and red lead.

All day all I think about is ramen…

Trying to sketch something daily

I’iwi (Hawaiian honeycreeper) sketch for my day off (state holiday!). Ballpoint pen.

Binge-watched “Bridgerton” last weekend and paid the price for it all day Saturday. The drawing is based on my wife's picture of me on the couch sleeping off my bad decision. HB, 2B Staedtler mechanical pencils on 8.5” x 11” acid-free sketchbook.
