Here's a handful of the preliminary work for some of my editorial pieces.

Anthony Ryder Master Study
Here is a study of a portrait originally done by master artist Anthony Ryder. This is my first time using only cross hatching (no smudging or blending, just lots of lines going in opposite directions) to describe values. It's a long and at times tedious process, but I love how it turned out and I'm definitely going to try something like this again in the future.
Anatomy Final
This was my Anatomy Final from last semester I never bothered to put up.It was done in pencil and our assignment was to portray two nude figures interacting, so of course I portrayed two figures standing around each other awkwardly.
