Portraits
Human facial structure and faces fascinate. Heads and faces, of course, suggest the bodies they crown at least to some degree. They never are independent entities for this reason and often are more powerful in their expression when even a small part of the connected body is part of the drawing.
The portraits in this gallery comprise both genders. Often adornments such as earrings, nose rings, tatoos, beards, hair or lack thereof, hair clips, scarfs and so on enhance the portrait and even make it more unique.
These portraits usually are longer and long poses.
When drawing a portrait, my subject's attitudes and spirit are among the things I am after: I want to capture who the models are as people. My aim therefore has little to do with creating photographic likenesses of the models.
Paper size and choices as well as drawing media may be found under each individual drawing's description.
Most drawings offer print-on-demand options specified in the purchase options for the drawings.
When purchasing an original, drawings come with a protective sheet and in an art tube.
I recommend that you mat and frame the piece you acquire once you receive it as charcoal is a medium that needs protection to preserve its integrity and beauty.
