A little Behind.

More dogs and a Redo.

I haven't finished Saint Anthony yet so I haven't published the letter 'A' saints - because I had to redo some dogs and a rush order dog came in from a customer.

Here is the original dog: 

And here is what happened: 

Yes ... your eyes are correct if you see a hole.

And here is my replica of it:

Sketches and continuation

SKETCHES AND A WOOD BURNING

This past week I've have done a few art pieces (yup, I still do that - art) - to be more specific - two graphite sketches and a wood burning or pyrography (The art of burning on wood) piece.

Although it may be hard to see, believe me, it very well is a sketch of a grouse. Since this bird is classified as a game bird, I was on the verge of adding a hunter with a rifle aiming at the grouse's chest (yes I know, I should've added a gun) but I made the grouse to big and there was only room enough for a gun's barrel.

BUT WE CAN ALWAYS ADD A HUNTER (or two)

2nd Piece

Here is my second sketch - a line drawing of a woolly mammoth. And we can always add a hunter this one as well.

And my Pyrography Piece

There is no need to add a hunter to this one (hahahahahahahahahaha) I burned into the wood the scene of the Black Knight from Monty Python and finished it off with watercolors. If you ever have something bad happen to you or are feeling discouraged think of the Black Knight - Tis but a scratch - Never give up - Tis but a flesh wound.

And of course - What am I working On?

I am currently back working on the "Saints on 7.25 X 9.75" - Particularly Saint Agnes (I'm almost done with St. Agnes) and I will be continuing with St. Anthony. 

Following that I will create them in order of alphabet. The next letter B and then D and E and F and G and H and I and J and K and L and M and N and O and P and Q and R and S and T and U and V and W and X and Y and finishing with the letter Z. (Nope, I did not miss C, I have completed C. You thought I missed a letter!)

A sneak peak of St. Agnes -

A NEW PERSPECTIVE

Last week I drew a couple of anamorphic drawings. 

Anamorphosis drawing:

'Featured snippet from the web'

"An anamorphic drawing is a way of drawing that creates a 3-D effect when the drawing is viewed through a camera at a certain angle. ... This will allow us to draw a picture exactly as it appears through the lens of a camera."

The first drawing is of a ladder leading down to a hole from a floating box, and in the background a house, road, cars, and trees rest in their dignified place.

The second drawing is of the same ladder, (or rather one similar) going into a similar whole leading up to a similar floating box. (The lines are more straight because of the use of a ruler.)

The next photos depicted are of the same drawing with the exception of a LEGO figure placed on top of the floating box.

The next drawing is of another ladder (yes, a different ladder!) and it is leaned up against to a what appears to be folded page, but is actually drawn on - I'm sure you'll be able to tell it is drawn!

And the last anamorphic drawing is of a door being opened. It was created first, (of coarse by drawing it), but then by folding it upright 90 degrees - (NOT Fahrenheit). 

At a certain angle it appears as if the door is actually protruding forth from the paper because of the illusion.

Thank You for viewing these anamorphic drawings!

So please ask me a foolish question so I can learn something.

A DRAWING, SOME PAINTINGS, AND DISNEY CHARACTERS!

MY FIRST DRAWING

My latest drawing is of the sacred heart that I drew back in May of this year, only a month ago. 

AND PAINTINGS

My first painting I made for my sister's wedding. It is painted with oils. It features her sewing part of the heart while he welds on the heart, (yeah, that would just burn through on a real heart), but it could also be symbolism, like how everyone always says, "It's just a figure of speech."

The church in the background

The background is finished.

The finished piece. The picture got to much light bouncing off it.

SECOND PAINTING

My second painting is of St George and the Dragon. This is also done with oils on a 18 X 24 in canvas. I first did an under painting with acrylics, (I don't have that picture. I only took a picture of the final piece).

AND THE DISNEY CHARACTERS

The final piece for this post is the Disney character piece. I first sketched them, then traced over my sketch with a pen, and finally put some Prismacolor on the top. But before I did that I had the idea.

I will be sending this to my sister's new Nephews and Nieces because they love Disney. And they also seemed to like my drawings - they thought a simple sketch was amazing!
