It's Mandi when she gets a little grumpy.

Brad Pitt-ish...2009

This is Brad. I was in a long-nose fase. So his nose is a might long. Oops...but overall I like it. I like his jacket and eyes...that nose just taunts me though. I just used mechanical pencils.

Random Fact: I also enjoy Keane very much. They are a band from Britain.

Baseball Player...2009

This gent I just did in church...so I wasn't looking at anything...so it isn't great. I was a little angry at the time, and lo and behold he looked angry. I just used a mechanical pencil. I like his lips and hat and the eye scar.

Random Fact: New favoite singer...Brendan James. Look him up and love him.

Band of Brothers...again...2009

Seriously people I am just on a BOB/WWII kick. I can't get enough! I just love this photo...how they are helping eachother out.

Random fact about my life: I find I enjoy a good cheese, salami, mayo, mustard sandwhich. It's a little of heaven here on earth. And life is just good...ya know? No matter where you are you can have peace. What a great gift. Happiness doesn't depend on what is happening to you...it's what you make of life that brings happiness and peace. Does that make sense?

Army Fellow...2009

I did this fellow from a Band of Brothers still. I used this new charcol pencil I got at the BYU bookstore. This is a quicker drawing but I do like it. I like how he looks kind-of sad.

Random Thought: I am getting much more athletic these days. I actually participate in sports. This is a big thing for me. And I just enjoy a great game of water basketball.

Stretching...2009

This is me practicing the human body. It is just a smaller, quicker (is that a word) drawing. I used a picture of Michael Phelps stretching as a guide. I really like the hands. Just in case you can't tell he listening to head phones. Overall I think this is okay. Some of it is really dispoportionate, but oh well. I just used a regular pencil.

Random Fact about my Life: I really like driving to my parents house. It is an hour drive where I can think and sing really loudly to myself.

Young Man with muscley arm...2009

So I went through a faze where I was just doing quick drawings with charcoal. I really like the way this one turned out. It was a originally a picture of Brad Pitt but I wasn't trying to make it look like him. His arm is back behind his head just in case you can't tell. I really like his eyes they look very pensive.

Random Fact about my Life: I'm on a puzzle kick. They have consumed me.
