Levi Drop

Work in Progress | Getting scrambled. Ready for part two. Just waiting for the paint to dry.

Work in Progress | Getting somewhere. Another layer. Stay tuned.

Work in Progress | Ole blue eyes. The first layer. This portrait is slightly bigger than the square ones I've been painting.

The silent smile. Sitting quietly in a fancy library, Heather smiled just enough to raise the mood of a humorless room.   [gallery type="rectangular" size="full" ids="6098,6039,6088,6091,6208,6210,6097,6094,6206,6027,6495,6523,6554"]   [pexcirclecta pex_attr_small_title="Who Will Be Next?" pex_attr_title="Submit your face for the project." pex_attr_button_text="Tell Me More" pex_attr_button_link="/i-will-draw-you" pex_attr_button_link_open="same" pex_attr_button_color=""][/pexcirclecta]

Work in Progress | Green blue eyes. Heather is looking somewhat like a Disney Princess.

Work in Progress | Drawing again. My desk on a Monday afternoon. Sketching Heather .

Work in Progress | I'm a Klutz. The canvas I was working on fell from my easel and shattered to pieces. It was a good opportunity to remix the pieces for Joe's painting.   [gallery type="rectangular" size="full" ids="6083,6084"]

I'm Steven's official photographer. As illustration #1 in my series, I'm always glad to have Briggs visit the studio.

I randomly ran into Joe at Ikea. Joe commissioned a painting and the first thing I thought was, I have to redraw him.

What a difference a year makes. As a reference for a new painting, I did another drawing of Joe .

A visitor to the studio. As illustration #12 in my series, Jonathan is a celebrity in my world. When he visited the studio today, I went full paparazzi on him.   [gallery type="rectangular" size="full" ids="6057,6058,6059"]

I needed to draw Joe again. My desk on a Tuesday morning. Refining an illustration of Joe.

I wished I was her in High School. Pj has been following my project for a while and I drew her because of my I WILL WRITE YOU project, where I'm writing short fiction about the illustrations. There's a story brewing in my head about this image.   [gallery ids="6050,6039,6049,6042,6047,6149,6150,6151,6187,6493,6552"]   [pexcirclecta pex_attr_small_title="Who Will Be Next?" pex_attr_title="Submit your face for the project." pex_attr_button_text="Tell Me More" pex_attr_button_link="/i-will-draw-you" pex_attr_button_link_open="same" pex_attr_button_color=""][/pexcirclecta]

Work in Progress | Bright eyes. Sketching Pj on a Sunday afternoon.

Work in Progress | Sketching in the studio. This is what my desk looks like on a Saturday afternoon.

I don't know where this is going. A layer of red and black.   [gallery type="rectangular" size="full" ids="6034,6033,6036"]

Motorcycle Men. The first Tiny Gallery installation of 2016, the portrait of Chris is on display for anyone strolling on the path around Silver Lake.

Work in Progress | He asked for a painting. The blank canvas intended for Joe's portrait. Joe liked what I did for Chris, so he asked for a painting.

Send me a letter. I took a moment this morning to print out some note cards.

My favorite face. Tried something new with this illustration of Chris where I was ridiculously meticulous about proportions. It took forever, but here it is.   [gallery type="rectangular" size="full" ids="5996,5995,5990,5993,5999,6149,6150,6153,6156,6025,6551,6520,897,5352,5356,5358,5360"]   [pexcirclecta pex_attr_small_title="Who Will Be Next?" pex_attr_title="Submit your face for the project." pex_attr_button_text="Tell Me More" pex_attr_button_link="/i-will-draw-you" pex_attr_button_link_open="same" pex_attr_button_color=""][/pexcirclecta]

Work in Progress. This is what my desktop looks like today.

Rescue me. I'm working on a portrait of Joe and I found a photo of his dog that I just had to draw. I'm a sucker for rescue dogs and Chance has a great face.   [gallery type="rectangular" size="full" ids="5987,5986,5984,6149,6150,6152,6550"]   [pexcirclecta pex_attr_small_title="Who Will Be Next?" pex_attr_title="Submit your face for the project." pex_attr_button_text="Tell Me More" pex_attr_button_link="/i-will-draw-you" pex_attr_button_link_open="same" pex_attr_button_color=""][/pexcirclecta]

Looking forward. Thanks to everyone who helped me get my I WILL DRAW YOU project off the ground.
