"A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body."
— Benjamin Franklin: was a Founding Father of the United States
This is one of my favorite drawings from my time at the Academy of Art University, in San Francisco, circa 1991 - 1995. I don't remember the class name, but I remember it was always somewhat experimental and we were told to draw this figure in a graphic manner, with a colored grease pencil. Then we colored. It was great fun, and I thought, successful. I have used a similar technique in a couple of illustrations, and have used crayon and water color to achieve interesting textures in other pieces of art.
