5 Hour Energy article: About the real effects of 'Energy Shots'

I've been experimenting alot lately so I'm trying to document my process work in an attempt to find out where I go wrong or what's not working. There's a lot of mixed media going on my brain and the translation tends to get a bit muddy.

So: Self Portrait

9"x18"

Graphite

-Next step acrylics for background and silhouetting.

Sounds of the South

24"x36"

Oil on Canvas

Been working with oils alot lately. Definitely something I'd like to get more in tune with my illustration style.
