A comparison of a drawing of Goku from well over 10 years ago to my 2 most recent pieces: Matterhorn and Mt. Fuji

I love looking back at this drawing to see how far I've come

Sometimes, I get a lot done, and other times, it takes an hour for me to put a single line down... not much in terms of progress here, but it is cat approved!

I finished this drawing of Mt. Hood last year. One thing I've learned with reflections: drawing both sides at the same time for the best accuracy.

My current piece is this abandoned mine I came across in California a few years ago.

I'm excited to give this one a shot. It's completely different from my other pieces!

I love drawing reflections. I got a type, what can I say?

I've been drawing for about 12 years now, and this piece really shows that. It took me nearly a year to finish, but it was totally worth it!

I use 9B black along with white highlights to create a polarizing look all in gray scale.

"Grand Tetons" took me about 3 months to complete. This mountain range is so stunning, when I saw it for the first time, my jaw literally dropped.

What do you think?

My first post is one of my favorite drawings! Mt. Fuji took me just a few weeks of work and is hands down one of my most captivating pieces!
