A few years ago I drew some sketches from life. Normally I work abstractly. Here are several sketches of small objects I rendered while sitting and waiting in different locations, i.e., restaurants, laundromat, home and my classroom.

Yes, It's Just Graphite!

These pieces were created only using graphite on Reeves BFK paper . . . etchers use it in thier work . . . I like the rag texture . . . it takes a lot of abuse . . . that is good when you need to erase.
