March 2017 Art Feature

March 27, 2017 By Captain Maiel

For the life of me, I don’t know why I got away from the Art Feature post, but it’s been almost two years since the last! Whatever happened, we’re rectifying that now. What returned my attention to the features? Perhaps the long winter has made me crave color, as it is wont to do every year. The crocuses I planted late last fall are starting to poke through the frozen ground. Their blooms will be very welcome when they get here.

Below you’ll find a series of drawings that I completed in 1994, but had not uploaded to my gallery (because it didn’t exist yet) until 2007. The last drawing is a sketch I did practicing shading and drawing a 3-dimensional object. Devil Ducky proved to me that I was fully capable of drawing much more detailed works, not just line art. Still, I am very proud of the line art I do produce. You’ll have no problem recognizing the figures in the drawings.
