Learning from Nathan Fowkes

Nathan Fowkes came and did some lectures, I was able to go to some of them.  He answered many of my art questions that I have had for years.  Nathan did a demo of a landscape that was awesome.  Here are some of my feeble attempts of trying to apply some of the knowledge that he shared.  This is his blog: http://nathanfowkes-sketch.blogspot.com/

Dirty Socks Sketch

This is a pen sketch that I found the other day.  Dirty socks anyone???

aaaahhhhh there's a Beetle in my Sketchbook!!!!

I was just looking through some old sketchbooks to get some ideas.  I found this drawing that I did about three years ago.  I remember really enjoying this drawing.  It's fun to look at old drawings and measure your progress.

PS I love smoother paper in my sketchbooks.

Early Morning Landscape

It's about time I post another photo.  This is one of those pictures that you take and later it catches your interest in a different way.  It reminds me of an old oil painting that has lost some of its color and is turning a brown, yellow color.  

PS (There is a hidden image in this photo that surprised me while I was looking closer at things)
