Judy Garland as Dorethy Gale Charcoal Portrait March 21, 2010

Charcoal pencil portrait of Judy Garland as Dorethy Gale.

A black and white charcoal portrait drawn with charcoal pencils and pastels. Growing up The Wizard of Oz was my favourite film I would watch it over and over. The munchkins especially the lollypop kids were my favorite characters along with the Scarecrow. This is why I decided to draw this Iconic image and I was pleased with the way it turned out, I hope you agree? I would also like to draw Dorethy with the scarecrow, cowardly lion and Tinman eventually.

Albert Einstein Portrait March 18, 2010

A charcoal pencil portrait of Albert Einstein

This is one of my most recent charcoal portaits. I wanted to draw Albert Einstein because growing up I looked up to Albert Einstein, as he was also dyslexic so it was a great comfort to me knowing that me being dyslexic had nothing to do with my intelligence and when people would ask me about dyslexia I would always mention Elbert Einstein. This portrait is drawn with charcoal pencils and pastels.
