DRAWING MATERIALS


  • A2 Newsprint Pad (Not in picture!): For charcoals and figure drawings! 

  • A3 Cartridge Sketchpad: For most mediums, practices. Bigger for basic stuff.

  • A4 Sketchbook: Mostly pencils, charcoals. Pretty basic stuff.

  • A4 Toned Sketchbook: Charcoals and some pencils! Good to practice around mid toning.

  • A5 Monologue Sketchbook: Mostly markers only, pencils and such don’t show well in this. Portable, for observational drawings on the go!

  • Staedtler Pencils: Varying tones

  • Daler Rowney Willow Charcoals: 3 thicknesses from thin to thick

  • Conte a Paris Sanguine (Brown), Blanc (White) and Pierre Noire (Black) Pencils: Hard, matte sketching pencils

INSPIRATIONS

CLAUDE WEISBUCH 

His fluid and curved line work and gestures make the drawings feel much more alive and soft. There’s just this sense of movement and serenity in his drawings that I want to try to apply!

DENIS SARAZHIN

Denis unlike the previous artists, has a more distinct blocky style. His drawings are stronger in structure, with emphasis on the shapes and an interesting approach to using colours as tonal values. I really adore this take on drawing and I’d like to achieve something stylistically similar.

IAN MCQUE

He uses mostly pen and he’s still able to apply the sense of shadows and structure well with the strong ink pens have. Ian’s stylised art and ability to show depth are inspiring.

KIM JUNGGI

The diversity in styles and things that Kim Junggi can emulate is amazing. His sketches are clear and detailed, and there’s a sense of individualistic style. He has a great sense of perspectives as well as human anatomy, something I hope I can achieve with lots of work!

GOALS!
– Improve on anatomy, tonal values
– Achieve a satisfactory style
– Show personalities in drawings
– Better usage of colours for lighting and shadows (if we do colour)
