1. " Ain't Thinkin' 'Bout It " is one of my favorite drawings so far. The position and foreshortening, is one of the greatest ways to express my foot fetish in a drawing. The lines are simple, yet very effective. The title was inspired by a musical composition, performed by one of my favorite jazz pianists, named Bobby Timmons. The body gesture of this piece and facial expression, suggests that his mood, is one with such an attitude, as my chosen title.

2. I was trying to hang on to every subject, that interested me. The trees were still being drawn, periodically, along with other styles and mediums for subjects of interest. I would work on one piece for a certain amount of time, and switch to other pieces within one setting, each day. This kept all of my ideas and creative urges satisfied. But, I realized that this kind of work ethic was not ideal. I prefer to focus on less, during a given period of time, with more effort and patience. This also prevents less chances of experiencing burnout.

3. This piece turned out better than I expected. The sketch that was created initially, was a favorite of mine. And I decided to make a final drawing of it. The first drawing involved partially filled in areas of ink wash, to give it an unfinished, yet effective aesthetic. After viewing the results, I did not feel satisfied at all with it. I felt like it was over expressing, what could be more essential and effective, without washes. I created another drawing with Micron pens, and excluded my washes.
