wow it has been forever since I posted anything...

 I have done a lot of artwork that I need to update to here....and then I really need to make sure I also keep updated here. I tend to post a lot now on Facebook and also now on Instagram.....and then do not always make time to post here as well. Most of these are colored charcoal pencil portraits or drawings....some just charcoal...some a mix of charcoal and acrylic paint...or watercolor crayons and charcoal.

Lee Dong Wook as the Grim Reaper from the Korean drama The Goblin - 2nd portrait attempt using Olga Furman's methods from class

well I wanted to try a man for my 2nd attempt at the charcoal portrait using Olga's methods......and really wanted to do Lee Dong Wook from the Korean drama The Goblin..he plays the grim reaper.....and he turned out pretty close ....my white charcoal is pretty bad and tends to scratch the surface more than blend or flow onto it like regular charcoal pencils so not sure why that is the case but I cannot really add white with it it seems or it goes overboard and then won't blend in well. I may have to upgrade. This guy is so yummy and I wanted to catch all his deliciousness...lol.......but I think I am calling this done even though it is not exactly the way I want it.

my mama and Jay Park

My mama....I always loved this photograph of her so I decided to try sketching it and adding watercolor and graphite/charcoal over the top....and this is how it turned out. I love it. 



Jay Park - used some new watercolor crayons here...they are pretty wide-tipped and there is no room for forgiveness of you screw up...I still like how it turned out though
