Process


Here's a process shot of black and white to color rendering. I usually print two to 3 copies to color so if I screw up, I have another to color... one is always for test colors, shading, highlight technique tests. It reminds me of playing with a coloring book when you were a kid. So when I outline the drawing, I think about what lines do I actually have to draw.. and I'm learning that so much can be eluded to with color and not everything needs an outline.

Have to thank Bob Benson, Mimi LaPlant and Cindy Hooper for really my basic art education at College of the Redwoods. Moore was just alot of practice for me and pushed me into different medias like etchings, and print-making. But College of the Redwoods was where I fell into love with art. I fell.. I always liked drawing but there, something clicked on, like a light switch!
