charcoal of artifact

This is a drawing I started while I was at my parents house for a weekend a few months ago. This artifact was the reason we started taking so many trips to South America to study archeology, so it came to mind when I was looking for something to draw. As soon as I finish it I will give it to my Mom.

tell me a story


I love this cast! Tell me this guy doesn't have a story or two to tell...

construction drawings


 Construction drawings can be really interesting looking even if the item is simple. The purpose of construction drawings are to draw the object as if it was transparent.
