Hi all, I'm Katrina Kessler and I'm here to dump some art that I find beautiful onto you! Once again, I have felt compelled to share portraits of human figures again. It's what I'm happiest with drawing, so naturally I feel happiest looking at art of it too. I love the way that these are drawn solely with black and white and with a messy feel. Even though the lines are a little wild, the artists still always manages to get the detailed emotion and realism across. The artist used chalk and charcoal to get the high contrast, putting them on tinted backgrounds to make the highlights stand out.

These extraordinary pieces are all created by Guy Denning.
These are all incredible. Like you said, I love how it seems very rough and sketchy, yet there is still incredible details in the subject's faces.
ReplyDeleteI really like how they are all very simple but show a lot of emotion.
ReplyDeletei love how a sketch can show so much emotion, its powerful
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be my inspiration for a bredth piece to draw. I love the loose style, for an emotional piece. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteI love how complex, and yet simple, each one of these pieces are. I love the emotions portrayed in each, they are so beautiful
ReplyDeleteThe simplicity of the color schemes and even the medium used to create this phenomenal piece is truly astonishing. Just reminds me that you don't have to go over the top to create something beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe negative space used really brings the images to life. It's interesting how so much emotion can be portrayed with simple sketches, but with harsh detail.
