I will be posting pics from my sketchbook and finished works

My sketchbook drawing of a really nice watercolorist. If you want to know about her read the writing around her. I am so sorry about the quality of this picture, it was late when I took it. I promise later ones will be better.

A drawing of Jonathan Davis, lead singer of Korn. I was feeling down and I needed an artistic pick me up, I have drawn him a bunch of times and it restored my confidence a bit.

I feel like you could benefit a lot from some constructive anatomy, study hampton.

Thank you for your input, I am studying it at the moment. These are are quick sketches my finished work is much more correct.

My pen and ink sketch from a visit to a friend of my grandparent's house and studio.
I know his face is a bit off but it is pen and ink and I couldn't fix it.

Also, a flower I have drawn in colored pencil and a tree that I did in water soluble pencil.

Sketches from a figure drawing book that I am reading.

Okay, I know its been a couple days since I posted but its been busy and I couldn't.
So heres what I been working on.
First a really fast sketch from the 4th.

Next a cute-and-frightening purple baby painting.

A WIP rose that I am drawing with colored pencils and blending with paint thinner.

And I finally finished my crow painting!

The crow painting looks really good. It looks like you're using a ball point pen for some of those anatomy sketches? Using pen is a good way to improve your line quality. One thing I'd suggest is taking a tiny bit more time in between strokes to visualize the mark you'r about to make. Try even "ghosting the line" over the page first without making contact. That way you'll get use to making one decisive line instead of many uncertain scratchy lines. Keep up the good work!

I will try that, thank you. :)

This is a drawing I have been working on for a few days now so that's why things have been a bit slow.
I will be posting some sketches tomorrow when I have better light to take pictures.

Sketches from yesterday when I visited the Heaven and Earth exhibits at the Allentown Art Museum.

Figure drawings copied from Michaelangelo and others.

There are more but I've had issues uploading I'll try again tomorrow.
