Interlocked

Here is another one that has taken a lot of time. I finally decided to end it.

Copeland's

One time while dining at Copeland's Restaurant, I drew the outlines of objects on the table. I included a knife, fork, sugar holder, menu and oval plate. You will notice the similarity of this one to Fox and Hound Shaded. In this one I wanted the effect of a map. I've been on a tangent with map-like drawings.

Eclectic Connections

This sketch provoked a lot of interest from people who walked by me while I was sketching. In fact one guy asked for my business card. At the Chinese buffet, a server said it made her think of a Chinese Dragon. So, I think I will explore this way of working in some future works.

Dinosaurs Shaded

These dinosaur shapes were drawn using a stencil book much like the stencil book of bug shapes.

Bugs Shaded

These shapes were generated form a stencil book of bugs. I overlapped bug shapes multiple times and then shaded them. I played with negative and positive shapes as I did this. It took a very long time.
