"Owl" circa 1992 (Charcoal on Newsprint Sketch Paper)

Here is another sketch that I did from my "How to Draw Animals" book. Again, it's a good drawing on it's own but I wish I had an image to compare to the original that I was copying.

"Cat" circa 1992 (Charcoal on Newsprint Sketch Paper)

I had mentioned in a prior post about the book on how to draw animals that I was given in 4th or 5th grade. This is a drawing I did much later from something in that book. I wish I had a scan of the original image I was copying so you could see how close I got.

"Burning Glory" circa 1989 (pastel on sketch paper)

In 1988 George HW Bush (or George Senior as I refer to him now) won the presidential election over Michael Dukakis. The radicals protested for quite awhile over it. It was the first election that I paid close attention to (we even watched videos of debates and interviews etc in government class) I wasn't old enough to vote in 1988 (only 17yrs old) but even then I could see that presidential elections didn't really seem to give a viable choice for real leadership. Almost a year after that election there was even more protesting when the plans for Desert Storm were revealed. The flag burnings were all over the news. This pastel drawing is what my 18 year old mind came up with in response.

Untitled Still Life circa 1989 (watercolor on sketch paper)

I found another picture from that art class I took at the community college!  Like I said in my last post of the art I did that semester, I really didn't like ANYTHING that I did for that class. The teacher was a really harsh jerk instead of nurturing or encouraging and my lack of enthusiasm towards him showed in the work I did for the class. I still have this piece (and the others) in storage in my friends garage in Arizona. I guess I keep it just because I was and still am challenged by watercolor and have this as a reminder.

"Sunset" circa 1989 (pastel on sketch paper)

This drawing is another one from college. Honestly, most of the projects for my art class in college were utter and complete crap. I think I only got a C in the class. Funny how I could be in advanced art in high school and blossom so wonderfully with that teacher and get As and Bs but be so at odds with the community college art teacher!

"Perspective" circa 1989 (watercolor on paper)

When I graduated from high school I wasn't sure what I wanted to be when I grew up. The intellectual and practical side leaned towards engineering but I also still had a passion for art so I took one art class the first semester of college. Because I was on a Pell grant and wasn't working, I had to drop the art since I couldn't afford the supplies out of pocket (my Pell grant barely covered tuition back then). This is the first project I did for that class. It's not a very good digital image because it is a photograph with a cheap camera instead of a scan, but I'm glad to have it.

"Eleanor" circa 1986 (colored pencil on grey sketch paper)

I am very glad to still have images of my old high school projects. This was a sketch of a classmate in my advanced art class. This picture is interesting to me because normally Eleanor wore all black most days and the day that it was her turn to be the sketch model, she wore a red and white striped sweater. There are a lot of parts to this sketch that bothered me back when I drew it, but I have come to appreciate the imperfections over the years.

"Abstract Pinkness" circa 1994 (repurposed make-up on white printer paper)

Continuing with the pink theme... These are more art that I made with the old make-up. Recycle-Reduce-Reuse! ^_^

"Pink Ladies" circa 1994 (repurposed make-up on white printer paper)

Remember the Pink Ladies I posted last week? Well a few years later I did the same thing with some old lipstick and blush and this is the result. Same story as before, I didn't want to waste old make up! ^_^

"Pink Ladies" circa 1992 (repurposed make-up on newsprint sketch paper)

I wish I had better scans of these drawings/paintings. I like these because I did them with left over old lipstick, blush, and eye shadow. I don't wear make up often and yet still seemed to get at least one kit every Christmas back in the day. I hate wasting things so I figured this would be a much better fate for all this old make up rather than just put it in the trash! ^_^

"Horse" (Charcoal on Newsprint Sketch Paper circa 1992)

When I was in about 4th grade, my mother (or was it my grandmother?) bought me books on how to paint and draw (that I still have somewhere in storage I'm sure)... I learned how to draw horses really well and I wish that I still had the sketches I did back in 5th grade... this drawing (from 1992 or so) really pales in comparison. I still have most of the basics here but not nearly as much detail. This is yet another sketch I did in that newsprint sketch pad I had to get for the one art class I took at community college. I didn't mention before that the other reason I didn't take any more art classes was because the teacher was one of those hoity-toity art snob types who seemed to think it was his job to tell us how bad our work was. Way to kill a students dream jerkface! I wonder what he does now and if he still hates his job! :-P

"DBR" (colored pencil on sketchbook paper circa 2005)

I drew this picture of violinist Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR) from a concert program. I used to go to his concerts when he was doing his fellowship at ASU. I'm pretty sure I emailed this picture to him but I don't think he ever used it for anything. He shaved his head so now he doesn't even look like this anymore. ~~~ Check out his website; it's REALLY cool! http://www.danielroumain.com/

Untitled Drawing circa 1987 (crayon on sketch paper)

I drew this picture when I was 16 years old from a make up ad in a teen magazine. I haven't had the patience to put this much detail into a drawing since I was in high school. Sad, but true. Maybe after I travel the world I will find the time to be this intricate again. This is another one that is still one of my favorites after all this time.

"Smile" circa 1992 (charcoal and white chalk on newsprint sketch paper)

I went to a community college after high school and I took one art class. Each project required different paper and medium which got really expensive and my Pell grant didn't cover all of it so I had to drop the idea of taking art classes. I had a bunch of paper and other materials left over so this drawing was one I did after I dropped out of school. It is charcoal and white chalk on newsprint sketch paper. This drawing is still one of my favorite pieces even after all these years.

"Beauty in Hand" circa 1992 (oil pastels on sketch paper)

I drew this when I was living outside of Tucson, AZ near the Saguaro National Monument. I picked up a flower from the ground and when I looked at it in my hand, I was inspired to make some art from the moment. Another one of my favorite items from that time in my life.

"Pear and Leaf" Still Life Sketch circa 1992 (charcoal on newsprint sketch paper)

When I took art in college, I had to buy supplies for each new project. Very different than what I was used to from elementary, junior high, and high school! Also interesting to me is that very few of my college art projects were anything that I would be willing to share.

This particular piece is NOT a college assignment but was made around that time in my life with charcoal and sketch paper left from college projects. Every project seemed to need a different kind of paper and medium. I ended up quitting art because I was only a part time student and the grants were not enough to cover all of the projects so I had to come out of pocket for most of them.

Sometimes I wish that I would have been able to finish and get at least an Associates Degree in some kind of art field, but life just didn't happen that way.

"Wind" circa1986 (acrylic on cardboard canvas)

This is another sophomore in high school advanced art project. I think the assignment was a combination of composition and nature or wind or something like that. This is still one of my favorite pieces I did from that class. A lot of my best work to date was from that younger, more carefree time of my life when materials and specific inspiration were provided for me.
