Finished drawings

The first drawing took me 2-3 days (that is, about 4 hours or less) to finish and was just just after I switched to charcoal as a medium.

Why did I do that?

I was frustrated with pencil because it wasn't giving the firm lines I needed. I swear that the humidity here does something to paper, because at times its fine to use pencil on it, and at other times its basically a waste of time.

I like the sense of movement in this drawing, the energy it conveys, and the slight air of mystery that permeates it. However, the mood seems too dark and oppressive, somehow. The other problem is that I wasn't able to get much detail into the characters.

untitled#1 - watercolour, charcoal, chalk pastel, ink


This is the second drawing I made, which took about the same time and used predominately black ink with some charcoal and chalk pastel, with a watercolour background.

This girl has my sisters hair, which is, I think, why she keeps reappearing.

The pseudo-punk makes his entrance again!
