How To Fast Track To Better Drawings The Simple But Hard Truth. Is there a fast track to better drawings? A little more than a year ago, I posted an article about the key ingredient to self-improvement when it comes to your drawing (or anything, for that matter). It’s probably the answer many of you […]
Follow Your Passion! What If You Have More Than One? (Not to be confused with the May 13, 2016 post Follow Your Passions) More and more these days you hear people saying, “Follow you passion!” Gone are the days where you landed yourself in a “sensible” career and did that until you retired. Back in […]
Doodling More Than You Might Think Just what is a doodle artist? Well, one whose primary means of expression is executed by doodling of course! It may surprise some of you that even though I love drawing, I’m not much into doodling. It’s only been in times of sheer and utter boredom that I’ve even […]
Music and Visual Artists What’s Your Choice of Background Noise? Music and visual artists seem to go hand in hand. Nearly every artist I know has music playing while they work.

Words Matter Don’t Cripple Yourself or Others! Sometimes I think we are all guilty of forgetting how much words matter, both the words we use with others as well as those we use for ourselves. Think about it. How many times have you said something to someone without thinking. Perhaps you stuck your foot in […]
Dog Noses and Mouths, Human Hands and Feet My Least Favorite Things to Draw So recently I posted an article on eyes being the most favorite thing for me to draw. I thought I’d touch briefly on my least favorites…dog noses, human hands and feet. And next to dog noses, that black fleshy, gummy part […]
Pen Art There Is No Undo! Pen art has always fascinated me and I’ve always admired those that can create magnificent works with the permanent medium. Personally, I never considered doing anything serious in pen. As most of you know, pencil is my weapon of choice. It’s easy to use and best of all, if […]
Mother’s Day always provides a challenge to find the perfect gift for mom. When I discovered Myra’s portfolio I knew instantly she had the artistic talent to execute my vision. After a brief review of my requirements and a week of time I was rewarded with an amazing portrait of my mom’s prized Siamese cat. The piece is so lifelike you want to touch it. Thank you for delivering more than I even imagined!
