Loving Portraiture

I will not be poetic, as I am not in the mood, but I will profess my love of such things - in a way so idyllic. The beginning of my career at art school really began with drawing the literal, which I wasn’t completely enthusiastic about as my art did not concern itself with it at the time.

But the day of greatest wonder was when I discovered how to tell stories with just the muscles of the neck and direction of eye; from then on I was addicted and this became my comfort drawing. Here is a recent sketch and an underdrawing for one of my portfolio works, as I love them as they are too.
