Look what I found!

I don't have many of my big foundation studies pieces on the computer. I'd like to eventually get some professional-like pictures of some of them before they get smudged away or ruined somehow, but there is plenty of time for that. I did however, snap a few pictures with my digital camera a couple years ago of a few of them. The pictures are not that great of quality and the second piece I had to crop because of this horrible looking glare (lol).
      Anyways, these two pieces I thought I would post today. They are a lot more traditional than what I'm currently working with, but I like doing fine art too. The piece with the spiral composition I believe I titled "Vegas Baby!", I did either late freshman or early sophomore year. Its done in black and white charcoal and I think its 20x30.
             The second piece is from around the same time period, maybe a little earlier, and its an 18x24 live nude model study that was done in black charcoal (blehhh, so glad I don't have to work in that medium anymore unless I choose to). I think I did it in about 4 hours, because I believe the model sat for us for 1 1/2 classes. Its very loose and the background is just implied. I wish the picture had turned out better so i didn't have to crop it because the actual piece is put away and would be hell to try and drag it back out (lol). I really want to post some of my other model studies up here, because there was a while there a few years ago when I was doing them all the time.
