( a work in progress )
This site is an extension of 2 other sites that I have. The purpose of this site is to show off my portfolio of drawings.
In 2008 I began doing a drawing a day with the intent of getting into the habit of drawing everyday. This set of drawings is the set done in 2010. I began in January and will end in December. They are intended to be viewed as sketches, some are fleshed out considerably more than others.
These are pencil, ink, prisma color and then finished with ink. The colors online are a bit brighter than the originals, but I like it that way. The originals are done on 80# text with a slight tooth 12 x 12 inches. I have numbered them so that they can be viewed in the order they were done. If you are in my life, you can pick out certain images that were done from our time together. Those not familiar with my work hopefully will enjoy the ride. I developed my dreams, aspirations and beliefs and an attempt to flesh out characters in a book I am writing, into a design that is not a photographic representation but a believable reality, at least to me. And besides, I am having loads of fun doing them.
The themes of this set range from an artist/wizard experiencing many of lifes trials and triumphs, albeit sometimes of another reality than we live in. Then there are the images that are totally an experiment. I am attempting to introduce a new image or a new order in an established scene I have worked out. But, still each is an experiment often inspired by those I live with daily.
I want to illustrate books, DVD/CD covers and print projects. For more background info please go to tonyhennigh.com
