MrDan Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 So a couple people on here know already that I’m also an artist. I generally work in graphite and tend to do portraits that make me happy or remind me of a good time in life. Hopefully I’m not posting too much; just wanted to share. Enjoy! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Your drawings are beautiful Mr. Dan....I especially liked the one of the guy holding the drink. What is graphite? Pencil drawings or chalk? And that is great to show who you are and what you do. We LOVE pictures.... Got any more? Trappeur 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graphite is pencil, or what most people call lead. I do add a little charcoal or chalk now and then. And I’ve always got more! Maybe next I’ll share some of my paper mâché sculpture! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopie Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Ahhh...yes, it was Jeff Bridges. I am thinking about a different movie...the one where Nolte played a homeless guy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jcandleattic Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 FYI - The Big Lebowski is a GREAT movie. I loved Jeff Bridges, Steve Buscemi, and John Goodman in that movie. Anytime I have a White Russian I think about The Dude. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His poor car by the end of that movie. Reminded me of the car in Blues Brothers. The Dude just could not catch a break!! And he was so chill... LOL Now I need to go watch the movie again. The only part of that movie I didn't really like was when he was hallucinating was sliding down the bowling ally under all the Vegas girls' legs. It's been about 5 years since I've watched, though, so yeah, definitely time for a rewatch! Do you ever watch cake decorating shows? One I watched with Ace of Cakes, Duff Goldman (the owner) did a cake of a big toe with green polish and a bowling pin background, and a White Russian glass next to it. When others looked confused or would ask him why or what it was, all he'd say was "watch Big Labowski" LOL I could have sworn the cake looked better than this, but here's an image - Edited July 10, 2018 by Jcandleattic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDan Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 @Jcandleattic Yes! That is the best cake ever! lol I rewatch The Big Lebowski about once a month. It’s my way of trying to channel my inner Dude-ness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah S Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Fantastic artwork! Graphite is a tough medium, IMO, when you eliminate color it's tougher to get shading and perspective right. Thanks for sharing, it's a treat to view! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its funny, because when I try to work in color I get so confused, lol. I can do maybe two colors, but that’s pushing it. Candles has been the first real use of color in awhile, aside from some of my paper mâché works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Awesome artwork.!! I love the black & white shading, sometimes even a great picture changed to black & white makes it all the better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
