See some of the works I’m most proud of from my sketching portfolio below.
These scenes are encased in infinitely-stretching frames reminiscent of Escher’s lithograph, Infinite Dimensions. Two figures are shown in dark ink, one stretching, one watching. The rest of the sketch is done in graphite.
A charcoal sketch of a still life in which clay stips were laid down across varying levels and everyday objects, including a makeup bottle and a matchbox, were laid in varying conformation across these levels. Dramatic lighting was used to illuminate the setup before the still life was drawn.
A series of portraits I did from different angles and expressions. These were done in graphite.
Collins is a pen and ink artist that both hikes and draws prominent features in the US National Parks using contour line. I’ve always been inspired by his work and aimed to replicate one of his drawings.
As the title suggests, these are some rapid drawings; they may be expanded into further, more intensive works in the future.
