I feel inspired again to create art.

After a long while, I've finally felt inspired the other day to create art. Drawing is one of those things that I have to be in a very particular mood to do, so in effect I sometimes can have some very long stretches of not being artsy. I love to draw and I love the feeling of going from a blank sheet of paper to a finished work of art in a day or so. This is a charcoal drawing and the dimensions of the drawing are 18"x24"-a little bit larger than what the picture shows. Hopefully I'll continue to feel inspired and start drawing more.

It's been a couple of days...

It's been a couple of days, I've been uber busy but I finished a drawing tonight that I started working on this weekend.  I'm pretty happy with this drawing.  I find old movie stars to be very glamorous so I looked up a few pictures and found one that I really liked so I decided to draw it.  Again, this is a charcoal drawing.

Charcoal

I finished this one over the weekend. I'm starting to like this charcoal thing :) I like the shading ability it allows, much better then pencil and I can cover more space with a single stroke.  The only problem with charcoal is I can't erase it, so each line I draw better come out the way I want it to.
