Hi Eddy, you're looking rather linear today...


*This is my attempt at free handing a face using the paint tool on Photoshop. I think it has gone well considering the lack of precision and control over the marks made, and the use of negative space allows the mind to fill in the gaps.

Like other portraits I think some parts of the picture are more successful than others, and I'd like to try this technique again, using different facial expressions and maybe including the hair to see if this way of markmaking is adaptable.
It is a really fast method and the result is quirky.
-but you just need to remember not to be too precious about the lines and don't "over" draw the subject, minimalism is key to this style.


"Hi I'm Russian are you Russian?'cus you look Russian"

Yeah well done with that.. no I am in fact...ENGLISH!!
Inspired by some mental people I met on the tram yesterday I decided to draw this little number..
I have overlaid two different drawings of the same image, then used a Russian letter and postal stamps to give the piece an air of mystery.....
who is this man?
where is he from?
where is he going?

"He's just another face..blurs into the crowd as if invisible"

The style drawing is freer than the previous faces I have shown you.
The imperfections and suggestive lines allow the brain to form its own judgement of who the character is and what he really looks like.
