Quick Sketches

The following are some of the quick sketches I've been working on. The quick sketch is generally the initial study of any piece of art. It's meant to capture the gesture of the subject or composition with long flowing lines and large representative shapes. It's the artistic input that goes into a painting before any rendering or detailed drawing happens. I hope you enjoy them.

New Work

The next group of 6 portrait sketches were completed in the last couple of months. Sorry about the long dry spell. I've been working on my drawing skills and plan to move into painting in the next month or so. I've also been working hard on quick sketch and will try to post some examples of my work in the next few days. As always, please feel free to comment; I welcome your views.
