Pencil drawing is my favorite art form.

Something about it is so raw and constructive.

Some artists like it because its erasable. My style is straightforward; I draw quickly, and I do not like to erase.

I would always draw a lot as a kid, and more than anyone I ever met. My mother always made it easy for me to stick with it by encouraging me and providing supplies. I never stopped. I draw every day, whether it be doodling when I am on the phone, or even life drawing classes, which I attend and teach regularly. There is something about pencil drawing that can never be replaced. From the fact that there is an art to sharpening a pencil to the fact that it is every student’s first tool, I think I will never get tired of drawing.

Every Project starts with a pencil

I begin every project with pencil on paper, and if not, I use it to take notes and then begin on the computer. If I shoot a movie, I draw out the story boards with a pencil and if I am working on a website, I make my initial sketches with a pencil. I plan the whole journey with a pencil, especially when I paint.
