I don't mention model's name most of the time. However, as I look at these drawings, I realize that I recognize the models. So I'll try to mention them from now on if that's the case. I'm actually surprised, I recognize them as I never aim for likeness with these drawings. Rather, I try to … Continue reading Drawing of Kia Leaning on a Stool
Here's one of the first oil painting I attempted. It's a simple still life of some glass objects and sea conch. I'm surprised it turned out alright as I had no idea what I am doing.
