I have been drawing for as long as I can remember. Of course I drew a lot when I was little, but I'm sure almost everyone can say that about themselves. I took fine art drawing one and two when I was in high school which mostly gave me the opportunity to explore different types of mediums and forced me out of my comfort zone to draw differently than I was used to. In high school I was commissioned to draw two portraits of a boy who sadly lost his life at a young age and his family asked me to commemorate him with drawing a portrait of him.
After high school I dabbled in water color and colored pencil mostly. I never had any formal art training beyond high school. In the gallery below is the 1967 Shelby I drew in colored pencil for a friend and the muskie I drew in colored pencil and charcoal for my boyfriend who has a great passion for fishing.
I didn't really start taking drawing seriously until early 2019. I started studying different professional artists through Youtube and started using specific techniques for drawing wildlife in charcoal (under Charcoal Drawings). My current style is realism and my goal is to eventually move into hyper-realism.
Currently, I'm learning to paint/draw with chalk pastels. They are very high quality pastels which are light fast with many vibrant colors.

Below are are all my amateur drawings that I drew either for my high school art class or a few years after I graduated.
