A familiar sight around here. This one owes a debt to Paul Cezanne.

A couple at the park. I'm experimenting with some textures on this one.

Last go at this figure. I think the three different stylings worked well.

Here's the second in a three part series. A different treatment in keeping with my exploration of styling.

I need to do some figure work. I thought the hoops made this pose interesting.

I thought the underlying abstract shapes in this one made for a interesting composition.

Back again at the pier. Good to be near the ocean.

The feared Baracuda. Actually this one is harmless, it's just about a foot long.

View at the airport. Shapes of aircraft are so beautiful, it's amazing to think their shape is dictated by physics.

Day 300. I had to do more for this one. Here's a color drawing for this milestone. It's colored pencil, I thought about doing a watercolor underpainting but thought colored pencil was more in keeping with the drawing theme. Don't get used to it, it's much more work than a graphite pencil drawing.

Third and final version of this setup. I took a slightly more creative approach with this one.

Something different with this one. Colored pencil on toned paper for a different look.

Time for a still life. here's the first of three versions of this setup.

I like the look of the metalwork on this scene. Those of you that have twitter, check me out. I tweet each days drawing. It's my only tweet of the day.

The early morning is a great time to be out by the ocean.

One of the purposes of this blog is to experiment with different finishing styles. Here's one I came up with recently.

Second version of the reclining figure. I was looking through a book about Albrecht Durer and his shading technique found its' way into the drawing..

Time again for some figure work. It's been quite a while since I've done a reclining figure.

The shapes in this one caught my eye. The underlying abstract shapes are key to any composition.

Here’s my dad, a carpenter, an administrator and a part time musician. Percussion and piano are his thing.
