For the last couple days, I've been carrying around a small sketchbook. I haven't exactly been thrilled with my recent doodling, but I've decided to post one photo from my new sketchbook. I present Tupac Shakur, drawing him while sitting in my car listening to one of his songs and suddenly feeling inspired to draw.
The next two drawings are from the drawing 1 class I took two semesters ago because I still work on those from time to time. I've choosen these pictures because the most challenging thing for me to draw is real people. For some reason, the human form and facial features is very difficult for me to perfect. These drawings are of a woman and a man who modeled for the class.
Before the final modeling pieces, we had to make various sketches of different angles. However, the drawings only took around two hours to complete. Sounds like a lot time, but to an artist that's just simply not enough.
I still try working on old pieces, but I want to move away from that and start thinking of new ideas. This last drawing is a self-portrait. You might ask yourself, why is it upside down? I choose to put this drawing upside down because that's the way i drew it and it doesn't exactly look right to me unless it's this way.
Next time, I'll show a different version of the human form and facial features... cartoon style! =)

Your portraits are bad ass! Will you draw me? Well, as close as you can get anyway... my glory can't really be drawn to its full extent. I love your art class portraits.
Oh, and RIP TUPAC.
I love that you posted your artwork online. Looks great! Also, I loved your line about how 2 hours is actually not enough time for an artist.
Your self portrait looks great! Keep posting more of your work online.
