First of all. I have been making art most everyday. I feel this burning urge to reach a peak of skill before I leave for basic training in March 2011.


So I am focusing on my portraits [ big surprise] and color. Mostly my new obsession is pastel, and specifically crushing/shaving pastel pigment sticks into a powder and applying in light layers with a brush.


I really love how delicate this technique and combination works, and I really wish I had more time to explore it. Subsequently due to lack of time I am rushing into bigger things than I am able to handle. Yes I am not afraid to admit that. Thus the rest of the picture is a bit of a disaster...mostly because I charged into it without regarding proper anatomy.


I will really try and upload more here but its going to be hellish for the next few weeks.. and then months.
