Haven't posted any new drawings in a while due to several commissioned pieces I've been working on. Should be finishing those up and getting back into more celebrity portraits very soon. Hope everyone is doing well!

A Suggestion...

0 min read
I was wondering if anyone else has this problem on dA: Everytime I go to browse or search for other artists' portraits or fanart, I get thousands of drawings of little animated japanese girls with rabbit ears. dA is definitely overrun with manga and anime. I have no problem with the style or fans that enjoy it. I'm just not interested in it and it gets irritating when 9 out of 10 results are cartoons. I want to be able to more easily find work similar to my taste. Perhaps a new category... Traditional Art > Drawing > Portraits & Figures > Photorealism. I don't know. Something like that. I'm sure some of you have thought the same thing at one

New Series

I just stumbled across a series of photos by Mathias Braschler and Monika Fischer while I was looking for a subject for my next drawing. I've decided to use these as references for a new series that should be a lot of fun... Heres a sample: http://img157.imageshack.us/img157/905/r10rx0.jpg

Great gallery you have, nice work! I love your art!
I hope you don't mind, I've featured your work on my Journal [link] :iconleapfrogplz:
Thank you so much!
Dude, there needs to be a greater number of portrait artists on DA. Manga is wonderful, but there's just too much of it.

Love your stuff. Keep posting!
Lol, I couldn't agree more. Anime/manga is a great art form, but I wish there were more traditional, photo-realistic portrait artist out there.
Do you go to those places and actually take all those pictures??
Very good, btw!
Thank you! Yes. I've been all over the place before and during my time in the Marines.
