Human Face, pen sketch
This drawing of a human face was sketched with pen and watercolor pencils.

I started sketching an interesting pair of eyes, and then expanded some shadow down to the cheek bones. At that point I was close enough to the semblance of a human face, so I added some watercolor pencils for color. After a few washes I let the water dry where it may. Here is an extreme close up of one side of the face.

Hi Radhakrishnan,
I started by looking at people’s faces, or at pictures of peoples faces, and practiced drawing them. Or I draw them from my imagination.

Hey, I’m a uni student looking for an artist that inspires me. I have to write 600 words about them and how I relate to the works. I would really like to know a bit more about the artist who has done these pieces of art. If it is confidential I understand. It’s just you’re the only artist I have found that I really would like to write about. However, I have found no information about you unfortunately.
Please let me know if I can get some information about the artist who has done these incrdeible pieces of art or not.
Thank you.

Your art is really fantastic, I love drawing and have a few pieces which I really prize. My dad keeps wanting me to sell them, but I feel quite attached to them, with all the effort I put into them. It broke my heart to see a painting on eBay selling for just $1! What do you do with all of your paintings? I feel it is much nicer to give them away than put a price on them
