Here’s another cool portrait from Kelly. I like how you blended different colors to keep the hair from looking flat.
Ian T
This little cat looks so mischevious–I keep expecting him to jump after that bug any second! I especially like how Ian drew the hair on the cat’s back–not by using lines, but by controlling the shading of the background.

Yes, it’s that good-bye time of year again. Jordan captures the mood with this moving, sweetly sad little poem. (the “BIG” is a rubbing from our yearbook’s front cover, for anyone who doesn’t know.)
Note: After clicking the thumbnail, you can enlarge this more. Hold the mouse pointer over the image, then click the box that appears on the bottom right.
Brandon R
Brandon gives us a second cool drawing here. I like how the shading gives the figure volume.
Jordan G
Here’s the first painting we’ve posted on Per.spec.tive, and talk about starting strong! I love how Jordan’s shown the light in scene.
Corey L
I think giving lots of care and attention to the lines of his expression, while just blocking in the basics of the hair and head, really works here. This Honest Abe has lots of personalilty!
Christopher G
Christopher (aka Jake) was another one of our first commenters, and he’s shown Per.spec.tive lots of support. He’s also given us a great poem, with lots of interesting symbolism.
Kayla R and Brandon R
I’m so impressed by the richness and subtlety of Kayla and Brandon’s writing. What a fascinating little poem! The picture adds a lot, too.
Kelly S.
Kelly has given us at Per.spec.tive a lot of good ideas for the site. Now she gives us a great picture, too! Thanks Kelly! I particularly like her expression, and the choice of colors you used.
Carmen M
We’re honored, Carmen that you chose to share such powerful work on Per.spec.tive:
CAN YOU SEE ME??
A girl gets in the car,
Her mother just picked her up from Juvenile.
No hugs, no kisses, no talking.
Silence fills the car.
The girl gently turns on the radio,
Wanting to get attention.
She ran away from home, trying to escape her fears, not wanting to face the facts,
She was going to jail.
People told her how to act,
She wanted to be herself, do what she wanted.
So she ran, the ride home is quiet.
She asks her mom, “Can you see me, suffering,
Crying for help, Mom, can you see me?”

Drake F
Thanks for this great poem, Drake. Drake asks a question in his poem. Are there any vegetarians out there who could help him out with the answer?
FOOD
Food is for Humans,
Food is for dogs.
Food is for cows,
Food is for frogs.
But what kind of food
Does a vegetarian eat?
The only thing I know is,
They don’t eat meat.
They eat their greens
Like they’re cool.
They eat lots of spinach,
That looks like gruel.
Ashley G.
I’m a longtime fan of Ashley’s work, and I’ve been bugging her to put some up. Thanks for gracing us with this great drawing, Ashley! Your line work is so confident and expressive.
Lauren M.
Lauren’s already got an excellent poem on Per.spec.tive–now she shows us she’s a woman of many talents with this great drawing! I particularly love the elegant simplicity of the figure, and the captivating shaded pattern on her little apron.
Brandon R.
Brandon was actually one of the first to submit work to Per.spec.tive, but technical problems have kept his work from going up till now. But I think you’ll all agree it was worth the wait! I love the shading on the hair.
Mr. Priem
Since we’re getting so many great posts, I thought I’d join in, too! I drew this as a gift for a friend who likes horses. Any other horse lovers out there?
