January 20th, 2010 – A birthday drawing for Briana. She wanted a purple soccer ball, with blue flames (she said she told me this, but I didn’t hear ) So instead I drew a blue and purple soccer ball, with regular flames. Opps!

September 18th, 2008 – This was drawn from a real object instead of a picture, which requires a bit more interpretation of the subtle light shades and proportions. It was a good subject to draw as the colors and textures are fairly simple.
