This page contains drawings of people, places, and things. I believe that drawing is THE foundation for all art, and that to neglect drawing is to neglect your full potential as a painter, sculptor, or any type of artist. For someone to say "I can't draw" is bologna! True, some have a specific talent for it and draw better than others, but everyone can draw. It is a skill that can be taught and learned. Drawing can be a way of expression, or can be a stress reliever, or a way for some quite time alone since it is a solitary endeavor. Some of the drawings I will show are simple drawings from my sketchbook. Some are finished drawings. Some are studies or doodles as ideas for future paintings. The point is...DRAW!

The following album consists of drawings I did for my superhero team as Christmas presents.
I used our costumes and tried to get likenesses as close as I could. The drawings are mostly small, about 5 x 7.
