I have another that I made using the Paintbrush program. This one is called Dragon. It's a drawing of a dragon as if that wasn't obvious.

Now these two drawings are actually from the same drawing. I called the drawing "Roses On a Cold Thursday Night" because they are drawings of a rose that I drew on a cold thursday night. The reason it's in pieces is because I scanned the pictures directly from the origional and the scanner wasn't big enough to fit the whole picture. So I scanned it in two pieces. This is the first which I did in with vine, or charcol as some might call it, and the second which I did with conté, which is like a pastel but it's charcol.

I have a theory that if an envelope looks interesting it will be read first. I also belive that envelopes are very boring. For these two reasons I commonly draw pictures on the envelope when I mail a letter. I have some examples here. The first is a reproduction of sorts. I called the original "Silhouette on a Sunset". The original can be seen below. The second is a drawing of an old train tunnel in Scranton, Pennsylvannia.

This one is kind of wierd. It's a sunset over what appears at first to be a desert, but then I drew a near dead pine tree.
The tree wasn't supposed to look dead and it's wasn't supposed to look like a desert scene. I just wanted to put some texture into the horizen.

The following set of pictures are drawings that I did using conté and vine on newspaper. They were for a drawing class that I took at Binghamton University. I scan photographs of the original drawings, so the quality isn't all that.
The first drawing is one of the few that I did of our model that I actually liked. We had the same model come in probably ten to fifteen times. After a while I got sick of looking at her, and having to draw her became quite tedious. For obvious reasons, it's called Nude in a Chair.
I screwed this up, the picture got saved with the wrong name, I'l fix it when I get a chance.

This drawing uses a technique that I was taught during the class. The drawing is started by covering the page using vine so that the whole thing is a uniform gray color, then using a eraser the light sections are erased and the dark are made dark using the vine. I forget what I called this, I think I called it Doll Still Life

Another assignment was to use a similar technique describe for the Doll still life but apply it to a self portrait. I set up my pad in the bathroom and had a bunch of lamps shining on my left-hand side while I was drawing this. I was only allowed to use three shades so I started out darkening in the darkest areas and erasing out only the lightest spots. Then I was going to keep darkening or lightening each area but when I got to this point I looked at the drawing and decided that I liked it the way it was so I stopped, that's why it looks like just an outline. This I called Light & Dark: A Self-Portrait.

One of the first things we did
