Tupac

I know my choices for what to draw are a little bit random but, I look for unique and interesting pieces. Now this was the fastest portrait I did. This took me about 1 hour (maybe a little longer for the scarf :)).

Albert Einstein

Looking at this now, I really do need to finish it. At the time, I was just excited to have been able to capture him.

With Love

I came across this picture, I believe, in some magazine. There was something about it that spoke to me. It evoked love, compassion and unity. This is just looking back as to what I was thinking when I drew it.

Old Maestro

I guess I love drawing older men because they are more challenging to capture. This was actually one of the faster drawing I did. it took me about an hour and a half to complete. Obviously after drawing the beard in the 'Old Man with a lamp' portrait, I had more confidence to do this one. Also not as much detail as the previous.

Maxwell

I did this portrait of Maxwell in the late 90s when he was very popular. This was the first portrait I did using charcoal as a medium.

Guy in the rain

In this picture, I was trying to capture rain drops. Not an easy task at the time but I can now do a better job. Coming soon with that.

Old Man with a Lamp

I did this not too long after. I will tell you this took me a long time especially working on the beard. Now that was challenging.

First Portrait

This is the first portrait I did about 10 years ago. I don't remember who this lady is, all I remember is seeing this picture and telling myself, I could come up with something that looked similar. Sure. Quite a long time coming. Looking at it now, I see what changes I can make.

Art Beginnings

I love most forms of art: the visual arts, fashion design, music etc but the first two are the ones I am more or less involved with. I started drawing at a very young age but at that time, I did more contour drawings (2 dimensional) of cars and people. At 16, I decided to take it one step further and draw in 3 dimensions. I put my focus on drawing people. To me, drawing people is very exciting. There is always something new and challenging because we are all very unique in our features. Hence I am about to embark on this long awaited journey of becoming a prolific artist in my own light. My goal is to post a new portrait every 2 to 3 days but depending on the detail level, I will say, at least something new weekly. Please comment on.
