This is a simple illustration of a nutcracker done with pencil, brush, and ink on paper. This was done as a visual aid for a project I'm doing with some of my classes.
After a day of school I'm usually in no mood to draw. After perusing some other sketch blogs I've become reinvigorated and inspired to draw, draw, draw. Since I've been drawing more I see that my work does need more...well, um...work. I want to develop my style and techniques. Also, check me out in tomkarpe.tumblr.com.
