Bargue study

I decided to dedicate my time to study all the Bargue drawings I can  work with.My goal is to achieve realism in all my works.

LET THE JOURNEY BEGIN

Self portrait(expressive)

Expressive art appeals to me in a sense that one can make a mistake and cover it by either adding another line,erasure or simply shading.Today I wanted to do a self portrait I had been observing for some time. So I decided to go for it. Half way through the process,I felt as though a clean portrait wasn't the answer. I then added charcoal,more dark lines and more charcoal. What resulted was a semi realistic piece. This,I found,satisfying.

Bargue drawing

I am fairly new to classical drawing.I am dedicating time into learning this art form.I hope to master it and teach those who might be interested, especially in my home country,South Africa.I plan on doing this as there classic art scene is not as popular or as desirable as in mostly European countries.

Self portrait

I just came out of the shower and thought, "let draw myself today". O then sat on  the only in my bedroom.I stroke e pose and took that shot.Here is the results of that shoot.

And so on...
