Butterfly

A Still Life/Nature drawing of a Butterfly done with the use of Crayola Crayons. Credit for the reference photo goes to Lee Hammond’s “Amazing Crayon Drawing”. I’m not really pleased with it, the real thing looks better though, the scanner once again did not bring out the best of what the drawing has to offer. Perhaps, I would have done a better job of the drawing have I not been so sick and my concentration divided, but I just had to work on something, I hate going for days without drawing at least something! Anyway, I’m feeling much better now and hopefully my concentration on the next drawing will be much better.

TIME:
Approximately 1 week due to illness

White Stonehenge paper

Jasper Whitlock Hale

A portrait drawing of Jackson Rathbone as Jasper Whitlock Hale from the film “Twilight”. I really dislike how my scanner doesn’t always catch all of the lighting of the drawing correctly, especially when the skin tone is light and the scanner turns it white. Oh well, hopefully in the near future we will see scanners that can capture even the lightest skin tone or shadow areas. In order for the drawing to stand out a little, I colored Jasper’s eyes the vegetarian “golden” vampire eye color.

TIME:
A little over 3 weeks

MATERIALS USED:
Vellum Bristol Paper
2B and HB Mechanical Pencils
2B and HB Derwent Graphite pencils

A Still Life drawing of a Tepot

A Still Life drawing of a Teapot with the use of Crayola crayons. Colors have to be added in layers so that I can bring it to life slowly and carefully, crayons is a difficult medium to use. The drawing is a little to big to fit in my scanner so it will appear heavily cropped… this is one of the many times I wish I had a digital camera. Finished this a couple of days ago, sorry for the blurriness on the right side of the drawing, but this is what happens when the entire drawing doesn’t fit in my scanner, but one day if I can afford to buy a digital camera, I will hopefully replace it with a new one.

TIME:

Approximately 2 days

MATERIALS USED:

White Stonehenge paper

crayons= Canary, Green, Blue Green, Black, Carnation pink, Green yellow, Mauvelous, Plum, Sky Blue, Spring Green and Yellow Orange
