Experimenting With Cardboard

This was done as a gift.

I like to experiment with different materials and techniques. I hacked away at a piece of corrugated cardboard with an exacto-knife for a while, and then went in with prismacolor pencils to color it. In some areas, I applied the pencil in a way that the lines from the corrugation would show through without being cut. In a way, it's almost like a 3-dimensional piece because of the depth from the cardboard.

CD cover

I recently did an illustration for a CD, "Welcome to the House of Awesome" by The Whomping Willows, which is available for purchase on The Whomping Willows site.

Poses

Discovered Pose Maniacs and did some sketches with the different time settings on the 30 drawing page and the poses.

Ballet

Sketches of ballet dancers done while watching The American Ballet Theatre's performance of Le Corsaire.
