As I said before, a year or so ago I used to do quite a lot of drawing, and below are a couple of my favourite examples. Perhaps they are not 100% photo-realistic just yet, but that's what I intend to improve on.

| African Child |
The most recent drawing that I completed over the summer of 2010. It is of an African child that my brother befriended whilst on a three-month visit to Ghana. When he brought back an amazing portrait portrait photograph of the child I just had to draw it. I apologise for the poor quality of the picture, it is only a photograph I took of the drawing under bad light.
I was really pleased with this drawing, I think it took me just over four weeks to complete it; however, I don't think my rendering of the texture on his shirt are not too good - something I seem to remember always struggling with. Having said that, I think it is definitely possible to see an improved tonal and textural quality in the rendering of the face compared with the below drawing (an earlier piece). Something I found with drawing is that you literally get better every time.

| James Battye |
This is an older drawing, completed in either late 2009 or early 2010. It is from a photograph I took of my friend James when on a visit to Beijing in April 2009. Again, it is quite a bad quality photograph, apologies.
I was very pleased with the tonal qualities on the face in this drawing, however, again the rendering on the shirt is not particularly good.
I plan to start a new drawing very soon, so hopefully I will have some fresh material to post in the near future.
