Portrait of a Young Woman




This portrait Patrick did from a photo shows his very great improvement in capturing the human visage. He has the proportions worked out very well, and the eyes are larger. The shading is subtle and effective.

He said this is a 10-year-old girl, and that this drawing made her look 20. He immediately started on a new drawing of her, and sent this one to me.

Sharon Stone Drawing



Sharon Stone in "Basic Instinct".

Mermaid Drawing




The mermaid is lovely and I really enjoy the dolphins playing in the background.

Horse Drawing



This drawing of a horse was on the envelope of a letter Patrick sent.

Self-Portrait with Motorcycle



This second self-portrait was from a photo I took, and it looks even more like him. He started using mechanical pencils, and he likes them a lot. He is doing a lot more shading, and the shading is soft.

Self-Portrait


Patrick did this self-portrait and sent it to me in the mail. I was really surprised how well he captured his image, since he never did that much drawing of people in the past that I knew of.

Cougar




The cougar drawing came from a tiny (1/2"x1/2") drawing on one of my return address labels. Patrick blew it up to about 2"x 2" on one of his envelopes.

Wolf in Closeup



This is another drawing from a photo of course.

Wolf in Snow


This drawing was done from a photo I sent Pat. There are creases in the drawing because Patrick had to fold it to send it to me by mail.

Rated R



This is, I think, based upon a magazine photo. The breasts are quite . . . er . . . perky.
