 'Imagine They're...' 'Charcoal Pencil on Newsprint Mounted on Japanese Rice Paper / Size: 18.2 x 13.2 Inches. |  Hiya folks, I like to take the opportunity to play around with ideas to spice up my drawing practice sessions at times, which is how this piece transpired, a fun take on the ever popularly spouted advice of imagining ones audience naked when one is overcome with a fear of public speaking. Hope you've all been having a great week so far! Ta for now.. :)  |

'Binary Movement' Charcoal and Colour Pencil Drawing WIP' See ya! Thanks for the visit!.. :) Hiya, this shy gal was part t of my drawing practice yesterday (in 2D). I loved the shy, awkward pose of this model and tried to convay this in this minimal gestural piece..  'Shrinking Violet' / Charcoal Pencil on Paper / Size: 9.45 x 16.9 Inches  Hi guys! So with a touch of trepidation I got back to this piece and I'm pretty happy it's turned out just as envisioned!.. The nature of this piece I feel lends itself to personal interpretation so I shy away from clarifying my own inspiration as I would like each observer to find meaning in it for themselves, independent of my own conceptual vision.  'Duality of Mind' / Colour pencils, Soft Pastels, White Chalk Pencil & Charcoal Pencil on Canson Mi-Teintes Paper (160g/m) Size: 19.1 x 12.4 Inches (each panel without borders)  Check out more detailed shots and info at 'Duality of Mind' or if you are interested in seeing a how this piece was created step by step, check out 'Duality of Mind' Pastel and Colour Pencil WIP'!!
Thanks for dropping by guys! :)  'Tangy Cream' / Conte Pencil, Charcoal, Ink and White Acrylic on Shellac Sized Archival Paper. /Size: 10.2 x 10.2 Inches  Hiya guys! After my unavoidable hiatus with rather infrequent drawing practice sessions, I've been taking the opportunity to get back into my daily drawing habit, trying to regain fluidy and skills I feel had gone rather rusty after last year. Still working on it but meanwhile here is one of my latest figural drawings! (p.s. Included in Artfinder's 'Best of February' Collection!!) Guess What! Artfinder is currently having a FREE SHIPPING promo this weekend, so if you're thinking of adding this or any artpiece to your collection, now's the time!!  'Lean' / Charcoal Pencil on Newsprint / Size: 11.7 x 9.5 Inches  Thanks for dropping by! :)
Vine charcoal was the perfect medium in helping to create this soft toned atmospheric piece.  Vine & Charcoal Pencil on Newsprint Mounted on Japanese Rice Paper / Size: 8.6 x 8.4 Inches 
Using a Sepia Light Conte Pencil, the figure was drawn, making sure the 'quality of line' was good as this drawing would be seen in the completed piece. The acrylic primed rough watercolour paper was a great surface to work on. Once I was satisfied with the drawing, the shadows were given a wash of Chinese Black Ink ( there is just a unique luminous quality to chinese ink and I love using it whenever possible ).
To help get my bearings I now went in with the lightest light I planned for the piece. A splash of white acrylic (with a touch of raw umber) carved out the structure of the man's head and shoulder. Though I had a rough idea where I wanted the white to go, I was always aware of how the composition was developing as I was applying it and adjusting accordingly. For example, I had planned to paint down over the man's left shoulder more, but then the drip happened and looked so good I had to leave it. Acrylic dries fast so decisions had to be made quickly. With the lights and darks established I went in with a little more detailing for the figure with white chalk, charcoal and the sepia light pencil. I had to be careful not to do too much or risk losing the mood of the piece.. I have this lovely archival tan paper I've been itching to use and thought a 'trois crayons' (technique using three colours - sanguine, white and black) would look gorgeous on it... The shadow patterns on the model were intricately interesting and I loved that she also had a tattoo on the side of her rib cage that spelt out Honour, Strength and Loyalty..
