While on my trip - I did all these top head studies just to keep my brain and eye working. Most of these were begun on planes with low sleep levels so .. I finally bought "cartridge paper" at Cass Art Supply on Charing Cross near Covent Garden - it seems like the same thing as Bristol vellum.. I like it! The left hand side drawings in each of these was accomplished on that paper. Thanks for looking!
Graphite Drawings based on photos by Man Ray - He did things with photographs that - when I saw them I thought - 'self, that's what I want to do with my drawings!' |
More Man Ray referenced drawings - the middle image is of Laney - from my own photo reference. |
"Bollywood Fashionista" charcoal on Newsprint. |
20 minute figure.. a bit too metallic feeling amongst other issues.. |
2 minuters.. |
2 or 3 or 5 minuters.. |
5 minuters.. |
a Tenner.. all these from life.. |

If I didnt know better I'd think I was in some kind of heaven and that all the angels had placed such great drawings and layed them at my feet for me to admire , I am constantly breathless at the purity in your work , even when you copy from a great artist you seem to make it all your own in some unequivocal way - and more often then not , leaving no room for doubt or fear of the unknown ...
I do know this - These drawings here in these pages are just really lovely , lovely !
