First Post of 2007

What? He's back? That's right. There's no snow on the ground here in January, Ohio State loses the championship to Florida, and I'm making a new post with new artwork?? Yep. Crazy. I figured I'd start off 2007 on the right foot.

The first of which is a drawing that took me several months to complete. It was actually a gift for a friend of mine who's 25th wedding anniversary is actually today. The drawing is a collage of family pictures she put together for me to work from. I think it turned out great. So, congratulations to Donna and Joel on their 25th!

Example

Over Christmas break, my wife and I watched the Star Wars trilogies. The first 3, or should I say, the last 3 are still the best in our opinion. Having done that, it got me in the mood to draw, or at least attempt to draw some Star Wars characters. I decided to start with one of the most memorable ones: Yoda. Who doesn't like Yoda? This drawing is not 100% done because I haven't decided on a background yet, but it'll happen soon enough.

Example

You may have also noticed, that these two drawings are both in pencil with no inks or colors. I've decided to try this medium for a little while and see how well it bodes for me. So far, I'm pretty happy with the way they both turned out.

Stay tuned for more...and may the force be with you...
