Maternal Site 18x24

"Stan"18x24

Here are two of my latest portraits.  I have not updated my blog in awhile.  A lot has happened since the last time I added anything to it.  We are now in Flagstaff AZ.  I know have my website up for the charcoal portraits.  The address is www.drawingsbyjack.com .  To look at more of my works, visit my site.  I have a gallery on the website with pictures of some of my paintings and other non portrait art.  With luck I will start getting commissions soon.  I have four more portraits to start, but will not be able to post them until after Christmas as they were commissioned to be a surprise for someone. 

DJ Micaiah 18x24 Charcoal

Day 3 on the DJ Micaiah drawing.  I believe I am finished with this one.  I may look at it tomorrow and change my mind.  I am so glad to have projects to keep my fingers black with charcoal each day.

Portrait for DJ Micaiah of Boston MA



Day 2




Day 1

Curently I am working on a portrait for an up and coming DJ, and long time friend in the Boston MA area.  Mostly layed things out the first day.  Woking on the values the second day.  I should be adding details in tomorrow.  Since getting back into portraits this is the first that I have done working from photography in over a year.  It is hard to have some one sit for you to draw them when they live on the other side of the country.

First post.

Day4

Here goes my first post on this blog.  I am hoping to use this as a way for people to see what I am currently working on.  This week I set a goal to do one selfportrait each day spending at least an hour.  The first four days were very successful.  However, day 5 was not.  I just had a hard time getting into it that day.  Today is day 6 and I am about to get to work on #6.  Here are the results of the first four days.
