Details are so important when it comes to drawing. Well depends on what you are drawing. I enjoy drawing a lot of realistic subjects so details definitely come in handy. Actually details are important no matter what type of artwork you are creating!

I'm the type of person that lives in their own little world and zones out 90 % of the time so I tend to be quite oblivious to what goes on around me (not proud of that by the way.) But when I snap out of it and really put my focus on a face.. oh boy can I see details. I see every little flaw your face carries. Every little open pore. Every little peach hair. Every freckle and wrinkle. Although it's helpful when I'm drawing, it's not so fun when I have to look in the mirror..

 I mean just look at them, they look cold as ice! 

Both of these are works in progress. Whenever I have the need to cheat on my commissions I have love affairs with these two girls..

She knows something you don't know! She's keeping a secret, a verrrry interesting one too. 

Also she needs a home so if you are interested you should go to my etsy page and take her :)

I really wanted to practice using prisma colored pencils. Those colored pencils are my children. They are so amazing and soft.. ahh just plain beautiful pencils! Any who, I do use photo references for my drawings. I never fully copy them unless it's for a commissions. I just like to take bits and pieces from different drawings. I probably used about 10 different pictures for this drawing and just messed around until I was happy with the drawing. Maybe one day if I'm at a Da Vinci status I'll be able to draw without having to use photo references! Ha!

 My story for this girl is that she is some whack job who speaks to birds, moths and butterflies.. Just kidding I don't really know what her story is. You can interpret that yourself.

Commissioned piece I made for my tia of her two sons, I used charcoal. 14 in x 17 in

Well this is ironic..

I was playing around with my new prisma water colored pencils my friend gave me, and I love them! I don't know how I feel about this drawing but I do like the colors. I used graphite to draw the girl. 9 in x 11 in

Aren't they adorable?! All done in Charcoal

Sometimes I feel like my hand just takes over and draws for me.. I'm not even sure what I was thinking while I was drawing this. Usually I'll just zone out and get lost for a little while then come back and find a drawing on my paper!

I love the angle of this picture, but this is actually a really bad drawing to be honest.
