I have been revisiting the way I place marks down on paper to represent the world around me. My wife picked me up a sketchbook a few months ago and I thought I would put it to use and have been doing a little sketching every night before I go to bed. Here are a few of the things I have put on paper. Some are master copies from artists whom I admire while others are creations out of my head-drawings from memory, and others representations of images I have drawn with my own style.
This Heart drawing is a master copy-I copied several drawings by Bill Andrews-A tremendous medical illustrator. He was also the director of the graduate program I completed at Georgia Regents University. I am hoping to develop the simple yet descriptive way he puts pencil on paper.
These were drawn from photo reference. I am trying to employ the mark making the Bill uses to represent these images I saw.
The blood vessels on the lower half are made up from my imagination. I wanted to do a little memory drawing. See if I could create believable images with out looking at references.
These were also drawn from reference.
