Elaine

This illustration was another tribute to one of my early influences,  Patrick Nagel.  It also was the first time I drew one in a large scale format.  I loved the challenge of seeing the world through Patrick's eyes and his style helped me to better understand both composition and anatomy.

Gesture Figure Drawings

Gesture figure drawing is done with rapid quick lines for the purpose of capturing the inner/outer structure and basic proportions of an figure with varying volume and mass detail to give the impression of what the figure looks like. Typically they only take a minute or less to compose.  The figure drawings below are from live models that I did while in my Drawing I class.

Gary Oldman as Vlad Dracula the Impaler

"We Draculs have a right to be proud! What devil or witch was ever so great as Attila, whose blood flows in these veins!" 

When Francis Ford Coppola decided to make Bram Stoker's Dracula, he made a movie legend. Considered to be one of the few Dracula films that follows the original novel, Coppola blended the history of Vlad the Impaler with that of Dracula. 

How do you cast such a diverse and interesting lead role? Give it to Gary Oldman, one of Britain's finest character actors! This illustration is a tribute to the outstanding performance that Gary Oldman gave in the film Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Auguste Coronne Bust

In 2011, my Drawing I class went  to the Blanton Art Museum located at the University of Texas campus.  We spent a few hours in the sculpture gallery to do figure drawing.  I have a passion for ancient history, particularly Greek, Roman, and Egyptian history, so this was my favorite part of the field trip that day.
