Notes: Atlanta Artists Center. Charcoal on newsprint. Male model reminded me of Perseus from Greek mythology. As for the drawings, like a ballplayer, I had an off night tonight, maybe going something like 2 for 4, had other things on my mind.

Notes: Some quick sketches from tonight’s figure drawing session. Not really a class, but just time to sit and draw, reevaluate where you are in life. I don’t know how to do PHP coding, I don’t know marketing strategies, I don’t know a bunch of things that you can put down on a fake resume. […]

Notes: Some quick drawings from tonight. I actually prefer drawing from male models. Reason there hasn’t been hardly any postings featuring them is because every single session I’ve been to has had female models. Harsh lighting on the male physique works better. Even if the form isn’t as physically fit as an athlete, you will usually […]

Notes: Charcoal on Canson Ingres. 40min. I’m rusty, haven’t drawn from life in a while. Most of my figure drawings I still do while sitting on the floor and peering up at the model on an elevated stand. This can create some difficult angles to render, but the advantage is that you can be mobile, while everyone […]

…charcoal on stonehenge paper…as always this particular style gives me time to process in my head other things besides the drawing itself…there’s this famous painting with a caption “Ceci n’est pas une pipe” (This is not a pipe)…sometimes painting is not to affirm anything…it just is…

I’m so out of shape figure drawing wise, but here are some quick drawings from this past weekend. Been placing the figures all on one sheet to save paper and money :(. Like most sessions they usually start out with quick 2 minute warm up drawings and end up with 20 minute poses. Wish I had more time […]

Kate 1 (20 minute figure study) 18×24″ Charcoal on Canson Figure drawing from life is a nice change from the way I’m currently creating art, and it’s definitely different from my photography. Walk into any event featuring photographers, and you’ll have others asking you what camera or lens you use, perhaps trying to find a correlation between gear and […]

The last piece for Brush Gallery. Don’t know the direction I want to take the final CG composition, but the drawing portion took too long to finish, or rather come to a stopping point. I started the heads before I got sick, it got left empty for awhile, and I spent all of today rendering the rest […]

Sorry for the lack of updates, still recovering from chickenpox, of all things…that and the usual stuff. This is a preview of one of the art pieces for a gallery in Lowell, MA.

What does it mean to be a Lao artist? I don’t know, but I did put some of my random Lao themed artwork in this portfolio: Like I’ve already expressed, growing up Lao in America, you get the best of both cultures. There’s the graceful dances, food, a second language, and the respect you […]

White and black charcoal pencil on Canson Bisque paper, 20 x 25″. This style of drawing takes awhile, but it’s actually less time than my CG style or the other black and white charcoal drawings. The paper isn’t too expensive, and it has a nice texture and takes the medium well. Although this paper doesn’t allow me the range of […]
