Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

I found some old chalk sketches of mine. They're faded
and damaged, but they brought back some memories...


Bob Marley, from "Rastaman Vibration"


Puma, from Black Uhuru


They're "rough around the edges", but I still love
these old sketches.....

i love them too

depicting faces is such a wonderful challenge -
and you did great!

thanks, panta...

I like the idea of capturing both features and mood (as you did so well with "Inner Woman". My sketches are taken from an album cover and "liner notes".... images chosen for the challenge they presented in portraying the subject's mood/expression.

My sister is a talented painter who is just now beginning to get some art show exposure. She works in oil and focuses on classic portraiture, with painstaking attention to detail and mood, including the "mood" of each background, by means of secondary images/imagery and darkness underpinning light.... Maybe some day, I'll try to post some of her work.

Oops.... almost forgot my sketch of Burning Spear....
(ruffness)....

or....

as quick turnaround circles of cyber consciousness may dictate....

a box with a red "X" in the middle of it, when appropriate (as I unexpectedly saw tonight).

Enjoy, either way....

I know I will....

Yes, I am glad I came across these. Fine work.

Oh my gosh! I never saw these! I didn't know you created artwork too! Please post more!

Great talking to you on the phone the other night! (as always!)

this is a surprise, naz.... good work, amigo!

wow, i just saw this. forgot all about these! yeah, for a brief time in the late '90s i lived with 2 other artistic types, and i dabbled in making art. (man, i miss those days!). but i really didn't stick with it, and i haven't done anything since. not in the last 9 years or so. (too busy kicking up dust and such). i liked the chalk pastels best... so i could use my fingers!

anyway, thanks terry, doreen and cec.

from the earliest days of the studio! cool...

Thx for the link to Linda's artwork.... truly wonderous imaging.

these are nice !

I didn´t remember these ones, very luminous!! bravo, mnaz!! search the pastels again!!!
