Expressive Abstract Portrait Drawings of Male Faces

December 17th, 2007 · 6 Comments

These two expressive abstract portrait drawings of male faces were drawn in the year 2003 with markers and a white paint pen. Each portrait was drawn with quick energetic lines and multiple vibrant colors. Unorthodox colors encourage putting extra emphasis on the shapes, planes, lines, and contours of the male face. And artistic strategies other than value changes must be used to define the structure of an easily identifiable image, the human face. This process can help expand the creativity and visual language available to the artist.

not alot of people can draw as good as you, and even fewer people can color like you.

Interesting art work. I am studying GCSE art and design and have been focusing on portraits. I love the colours that you have used within your work, but the website does not include your name, what is the artist name? What inspires your work?
