Featuring over eighty-eight masterfully crafted graphite pencil drawings, from California portrait artist David J. Vanderpool, "Portfolio - A Collection of Graphite Pencil Drawings" offers the reader just that. A collection of his works between 2005-2016, and a brief look into who the artist is. "Brief"because this is actually a 'condensed' version to his autobiography-style book "Pencil Drawings - A look into the Art of David J. Vanderpool" where less is proven to be a good thing in this case. Less words but with a lot of drawings! Ranging from portraits to figure drawings, this book holds nothing back as it offers the reader a collection of the artist's more sought after, award winning drawings. Yes, that means that viewer discretion is advised to those not interested in seeing drawings depicting adult male nudity.

Starting off with the artist's top winning pencil drawings from 2010 through 2012, this autobiography style book allows the reader an opportunity to not only learn the process it took to complete most of his drawings created since 2008, but offers a personal look into who the artist is as a man. From portraits to figure drawings, David J. Vanderpool shares how simple pencil lines can be used to create masterfully crafted drawings - all while working through obstacles he would later encounter as an artist. Proving that "art isn't always about who the artist is, but rather who catches his attention at that moment". Although the drawings are created using black and white graphite, the pages here are full color glossy. Making the perfect Collector's Edition, as it picks up where the first edition left off and sharing many of his drawings created up until summer of 2016. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED: This book contains adult male nudity.

The second volume to PENCIL DRAWINGS, by David J. Vanderpool, this 149 page book shows how the artist completed 16 drawings of men who have entered his life through the years. Unlike volume one of this series,""Pencil Drawings - a look into drawing portraits,"" which was presented entirely in a journal-style format, here only the first four drawings featured keep to that format. The remaining drawings will not only show the step-by-step process it took to complete each drawing, but answers a question that was submitted just for that drawing. With masterfully crafted graphite pencil drawings at their best, this book is an excellent addition to those who have already collected Volume 1. In fact - it's encourage to collect all in the series to have a full understanding on how this artist draws with all lines.
