Occasionally, when I have some free time, I enjoy doing some pencil drawing.

NOTE:  Many of these are large scale replicas of other artists original work.  The portraits are reproduced from photographs.  The drawings are done in graphite pencil.  Most of the images have been scanned and look much like they do in person.

 

THESE IMAGES ARE COPYRIGHTED!
If you are interested in using one of my drawings for private or commercial purposes, you must seek my permission FIRST.  I do not generally ask for compensation however I do ask that you use my drawings in a tasteful manner with proper credit given, and I ask that you do the right thing
and ask for permission!

Dinosauria

Space Pics

T REX

Attacking T-rexThis was my first drawing in many years.  It was done entirely with a standard #2 pencil!

GENE CERNAN APOLLO 17

Astronaut Gene Cernan salutes the flag on Apollo 17, the final Apollo mission to the Moon.  Cernan was the last Apollo astronaut to walk on the Moon.

 PENTACERATOPS

Pentaceratops on the defense!  (my first attempt at shadows and shading...)

BUZZ ALDRIN APOLLO 11

This is a near life-sized mural of Astronaut Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin on the surface of the Moon during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969.  I painted it on the wall of my son's old bedroom. The entire painting was done with standard flat black and flat white wall paint mixed in different combinations (except for the color on the flag patch).  It took about a week to complete.

ARCHEOPTERYX

Archeopteryx... dinosaur-bird connection??  Feathers are not fun to draw.... LOL

BUZZ ALDRIN SALUTES FLAG

A drawing of Astronaut Buzz Aldrin saluting the American flag.... drawing the flag was a bit of a challenge since it was a bit "crinkled"...

T REX SKULL

 T-rex skull

ALAN BEAN, APOLLO 12

Astronaut Alan Bean during the Apollo 12 mission.  I chose to draw this picture due to the complexity of the shading.

T REX SKULL TATTOO

Check it out!  This guy emailed me and asked if he could use my drawing for a tattoo.  He actually did it and emailed me the picture... Very Cool!

APOLLO 16 LUNAR ROVER

Apollo 16 astronaut John Young prospecting in front of the lunar rover (in the background).  I chose this picture because I wanted to try drawing the lunar rover.

VELOCIRAPTOR

Velociraptor on the attack.... (note the feathers on the head and back..)

JAMES IRWIN, APOLLO 15

Apollo 15 astronaut James Irwin saluting in front of the lunar module and American flag.  I chose this picture because I wanted to try drawing the Lunar Module and it would allow me to experiment with color.

APATASAURUS

An Apatosaurus (formerly incorrectly called Brontosaurus) is swimming for its life trying to elude some attacking allosaurs.  Note the very large mesozoic crocodile (swimming near the bottom) for scale.

SHUTTLE LAUNCH MURAL

This is the mural on the other wall of my son's old bedroom.  It is the Space Shuttle Discovery launching from Cape Canaveral Florida.

Portraits

Historical

CAPTAIN B.F. SANFORD

This is Captain Benjamin F. Sanford, U.S. Army; WWII... my late grandfather.  This was my first attempt at drawing a portrait of a real person... it is a bit intimidating!

WWII SOLDIER

This was inspired by a rather patriotic moment... it is a real but anonymous World War II soldier drawn from a photograph.

ASHLEY AT 2

This is my oldest daughter when she was 2 years old.

Fiction

TREVOR ON A SWING

This is my son when he was about 2 years old.  He was sitting on a swing at his preschool play yard.

BUGS BUNNY

I just thought it would be cool to draw Bugs.

 

STORM TROOPER

An Imperial Stormtrooper.  This drawing was made from a picture in a catalog for a plastic model.  The picture was about the size of a large postage stamp, so the details in the laser-gun are not that great.
