Figure Drawing

The deeper the focus I can get the better the drawing turns out.

This is a good comparison. I think the drawings above and below are well done but I like the above one better. There is something about the addition of value that I’m not liking. Either it’s the application of the charcoal or my affinity for line, I’m not sure.

I am an Artist and a programmer currently living in the amazing state of Washington. I have a passion for art, but I'm stubborn as hell with it. My day is complete only when I do some piece of art each day, no matter how small. "There was a dream that was Rome. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish, it was so fragile."
