Thank you Stephen

For those of you that like to listen to motivational speeches and podcasts about drawing, you should definitely check out Stephen Silvers UStream Videos. He gives some great insight into what he thinks about while he's drawing; he shares mentalities he's picked up over the years and also some wonderful stories with his listeners.

Here are some facial studies that I've been doing recently and I thought the would fit in well with this post. I had lots of fun doing these. Comments and critiques are as always more then welcome :).

Happy Birthday Sam !

I did this image for my friend Sam, whose birthday it is today :D!
I also have to give out a BIG thank you to David Sourwine for helping me finesse the colours.

Derek & Chloe 03

I found Chloe really hard to draw. I think especially in this image she doesn't quite look right so I apologize for that in advance. That said, I still like the atmosphere in this drawing though so I thought I would post it none the less.

Also I wanted to post a link to my friend Anne-Maries blog. She's the one that got me reading "The Summoning", and she did some amazing drawings of the books. Two of her posts can be found here

And a Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to everyone out there :)
