Here's a shot I took of a brown falcon, blown by a snowstorm into the city, with its eyes fixated on its prey. When you're shooting wildlife you have to get in really tight. In this case, the wildlife came in really tight all on its own, which was when I realized that falcons have some big sharp claws. This could have gotten ugly.

This is just one of the many drawings of Monica Bellucci that I've done and intend to do. She's been in Tears of the Sun, Malena, The Matrix, The Passion of the Christ, and many more. Probabilmente una delle donne piu belle nel mondo... But maybe that's just me. I think my bro will enjoy this one too.

Drawing self-portraits is not an easy thing to do. You have to look at yourself critically and try to portray something that can't be captured by a photographer. A deeper resemblance, if you will. Although it might look like the opposite, the focus here is on the face, and the clothes have taken a chalky, secondary place. I think I could have spent more time on this one, but drawing yourself is not really as much fun as it might sound.

This is another drawing of a baby (not a sculpture this time). I really like the expression of the face. It looks funny. I'm not sure what I was wearing that day but, whatever it was, I think I was quite the fashionable one.

This is another one of my sketchbook drawings. I could find many little errors in this drawing, but let's focus on the good. I chose it because I really liked the old-fashioned look of this photograph (and the actress isn't too bad-looking either). Some of those things you may notice the most: eyes, mouth, hand, and so forth.

I had started this painting a few days before the beginning of 2nd year at university. I only completed it after the December exams. Two movies served as inspiration: The Last Samurai, and the other is a movie a friend lent me, Kill Bill. After watching those two I knew what my next project was going to be. The actual size of the painting is bigger than most of my other ones.

This is probably one of my most well-liked pieces of art. It’s a pencil drawing of a baby sculpture. It took me long, long days to finish. Of course, finding the subject may have taken longer.

This was the second oil painting I’d ever done. Some paintings hide a certain pattern. This one has a diagonal flow to it: from the top right corner (the top of the bottle) to the bottom left corner (the flowers). The point is to break the diagonal flow with something. In this case, the brightest flower on top of the other ones does this. Another pattern is the triangle formed by the flowers. If you squint your eyes a bit, the triangle is the only thing you see. The flower at the top of the triangle (the one that also breaks the diagonal flow) is supposed to be the focal point of this painting.

Yes, it’s the head of a horse sculpture. It’s another one of those drawings where you have to concentrate on having all the correct proportions and doing justice to the original. I think it looks more impressive if you see it live. On this web page it looks a little creepy. Especially those lifeless eyes.

She's not princess Leia of Star Wars. It’s another one of those sculptures I like to draw. I think she appears to be very life-like if you look at the actual drawing I have at home (like she might open her eyes at any moment). I sure hope she was just sleeping when the sculpture was made and not dead or something.

Although this may not be one of my best drawings, I think it’s cool. I particularly like her hand. I liked the challenge of drawing something like this in a linear perspective (the way the hand looks bigger than the body gives this drawing the illusion of space). Do you know who was known for the greatest perspective sense in his art? That's my good friend, Da Vinci.

I found this picture on a magazine. It was for a back pain advertisement, but I still thought it deserved a place on my sketchbook. Let the drawing speak for itself...
