One day I was sitting on a hillside on the Georgia Tech campus. I looked around and thought, "Hmm, I wonder if I could draw this." This was the result.
My mother loves fishing, but it's never done much for me. So, sometimes when she talked me into going with her for company, I'd bring along a sketchbook and draw while she'd fish. This is a drawing of the lake and surrounding area of one of our trips.
It's Rita the Pixie! Rita used to hang out on some of the same role-playing chat groups (technically called MUCKs; see my Links Page for more details) that I did. I drew this when I was drawing all my friends from the MUCKs. I couldn't post her picture on Yerf, because she's really not a furry. So, I'm showing her off in my own little gallery.
Another fishing trip sketch, but not one based on actual observation.
The first ever sketch of my character Toledo (read all about him and my other fictional counterparts on my Characters Page), some time in the early fall of 1995. I'd only been drawing on a regular basis for a few months (and I wasn't doing all that much even then), and this drawing proves it.
My first computer-colored picture, back when I got my first real computer, in the late fall of 1995. There wasn't much to the image editor I was using, and so there isn't much to this picture. But hey, it's in color! C'mon, that was enough to impress people back in the 1950s.
And now for a really first first. From the late spring of 1995, this is the drawing that started this as a real hobby. I had always been one to doodle, but usually it was just random patterns of lines that went where I should have been taking class notes. When I joined a chat group in February of 1995, I quickly learned that everybody there was an artist, and most of them were pretty darn good at it, too. So, I gave into peer pressure, took out my pencil, and discovered that I had a natural talent that I had been neglecting all this time, and it had nothing to do with drawing. Oh well, I still keep at it, and I think I'm getting better, little by little. I've certainly improved since this sketch, anyway.
