\"Early<\/a>This is one of my portfolio pieces from high school. I thought it might be fun to post work from my “early days.” I drew this from an ad for Ralph Lauren’s Safari perfume. I remember it being a hit in my art class. I actually still have it buried away in one of my many portfolios. You can see where the paper buckled from all my wear and tear on it as I was coloring in such a dark section. The small glass pieces were fun to do. I treated each one with individual attention.\u00a0 I also liked drawing in the lions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I blocked in the\u00a0length and width of the\u00a0bottle in my original\u00a0line sketch, and then\u00a0filled in the squares of glass.\u00a0 So\u00a0actually, you can see how the piece is not perfectly symmetric, thanks to my freehand work.\u00a0 Somehow I managed\u00a0to squeeze it all in\u00a0so the patterns still\u00a0fit within the bottle.\u00a0 And one side is narrower than the other.\u00a0\u00a0Still, I’d say it’s\u00a0not too shabby for a teenager.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This was during my black and white stage- everything I did was in pencil or charcoal. Black and white photography was fascinating to me, so I used those concepts in drawing.\u00a0 Now, obviously, I love to work in color.
