Allan's Art in Arlington

Got a commission to draw one of our leaders at the company I work for competing with her horse.  11x14 charcoal and pencil.

First time to try color pencils and really found more difficult than I thought.  Very little erasing ability and also take many layers to build up color.  Found that I have to start light and darken instead of going dark first.

Lost a dear friend that I had breakfast with for over 10 years.  Decided to memorialize him with what skills I have.

First time drawing a horse, came out pretty good I think.  Lots of nice comments from http://wetcanvas.com in the Wildlife and Animals forums.

Love reading about this guy, so smart,  I wonder if he was one of us.

Had fun drawing Steve Jobs tonight.  Odds are you are probably viewing his picture on a device he is responsible for.

One of my heroes growing up, Neil Armstrong was my subject this time. I often wondered what it must have been like just knowing that of all humans who have ever lived on this earth to be the first human to step onto another round ball in the sky that countless millions of people have stared up at in wonder. First of only a dozen humans ever to experience that. I hated to see his passing so I thought I'd honor him in picture. This was one of the harder ones I've done because of the nature of the suit. His expression can be seen as pure fear or just utter amazement. I like to think amazement.

Did a dog portrait for someone that won a raffle.  Had fun doing this,  the dog has such a calm look on his face.

Love the Bond movies and what Daniel has brought to the character.  Enjoyed this quick study of him.

Enjoyed Paul's work in film and racing.

Love doing the profile type portraits, less to keep up with!   This was a very dark reference so I had to push around the values and contrast.

Favorite character of mine!
