| Kate Moss | mixed media on paper | 2010 |
I remember back when I first really got into drawing -- meaning when I drew outside of class and school for the simple pleasure and enjoyment of it, stripping myself from the mechanics and rules and learned my own kind of style by drawing over and over. Looking back, one of my favorite subjects was Kate Moss. I'd sit with a copy of Teen or British Vogue laid out in front of me, sketching Ms. Moss from sometimes minuscule photos. And as it goes with all things that you practice, there were good executions and fair ones (I can't quite bring myself to say bad because I drew it after all and isn't that enough of an accomplishment to push past the "bad" mark? :) Anyway, it's fun to see how far I've come and how all that practice applied itself.
...I'm quite proud of this one.
All the best,
M
P.S. I'll try to do better than posting a mere one-time a month... I've been working on a lot of drawings of people who I'm particularly inspired by and have lots to share soon. Also -- I think I jinxed myself by posting on my now defunct Facebook page that I'm nearly ready to share my An Education drawing (a.k.a. my longest-to-complete-piece ever!) Since I broke that bit of news, I haven't finished the last remaining element: Carey Mulligan's dress. Hopefully, sharing this will light a proverbial fire under me to finish! Oh, and also, also: I have two exciting projects coming up in the not-too-distant future which will be displayed (amongst other artists work) publicly -- more info to come soon.
