My original plan was to take the character from the films and draw him in the comic-book Marvel style, but with my unsteady hands and no pen tool there was no way to make a decent outline on the claws. Even as it is their edges aren't even. But that's life!

These are not as gray and mono-valued as my scanner would like you to believe.

As with most traditional pieces, this did not scan very well.

Pencil Drawings

Medium: Graphite and pencil



Extemporaneous drawing for an art contest. Contestants are given a limited amount of time to draw a random object, hence the rushed look. Unfortunately one of the criteria was to draw the entire object, although I only heard "make a nice composition." Oh well. That's life.

Prints

Linocut is a printing technique where a block of linoleum is cut away to create a picture. The parts cut away will appear white (or will allow an already-existent color to show through). To get multiple colors with one piece of linoleum, you have to first cut away your whites, print, then cut away whatever you don't want to be your next color, print, and so on.

Monoprinting is a printing technique where ink is applied to a flat surface such as a piece of glass and then brushed and/or scratched away to create lighter areas. It gives one or maybe two prints.
