My girlfriend Natalie inspired me yesterday when she decided to do a value drawing of me in graphite pencils. After watching her draw me, I realized that I hadn't drawn with pencils since I started doing caricatures with Kaman's Art Shoppes almost two years ago. When I was in high school I was all about value sketches. Graphite was my bread and butter then. Even through my first and second semester at Brookdale Community College in NJ, I rocked the H through 8B hard. Anyway, seeing my girlfriend draw suddenly gave me the urge to draw and the only thing I had handy was the image of my friend's parents' dogs from my previous post. This is another drawing of Diesel but instead of a caricature, it's more of a doggy portrait on 7" x 10" recycled paper drawing paper.
