Sea World Sketches

This is my second drawing of Obama. I drew another from the same photo and it sold in less than a week. This one looks a lot better since i spent more time drawing it during the rain...

This silhouette was very interesting. The family had adopted kids. The first and oldest was white, the second was african american and the last was asain. It made for a good silhouette but would have been much better as a triple side view portrait.

This double portrait was drawn one of my first days at sea world. The family was from chesapeake, va. This is a drawing from photos i took. i like how it turned out, they really liked it too.

Sea World

Well, I am transfering jobs from Busch Gardens, VA to Sea World, FL. Plus i'm getting a promotion to be the portrait supervisor...! I went to FL for a visit before I decided if I wanted the job. I tried out a new technique with my manager Dino. We used grey paper and charcoal dust, charcoal pencils and a kneaded eraser. I drew him and then the 2nd one I ever did was a sale. I think it turned out nice although I was probably pretty slow while still getting to know the materials and technique. Here is the one I drew of Dino:

This is from my last day of work.
My dear friend Angie who I've worked with for the last 6 years drew me.


This sketch was so cute! The boy was such a little handsome man.

Here is England Portraits at Busch Gardens.

You can see my drawing of Dennis on the middle of the cabinet.
