Does anybody know which type of pencil he uses ? It looks like a chinagraph litho pen to me, but if anyone knows his technique better I'd be interested to know. I agree with Memi, you can tell he uses photographic reference, but what comes out the other side are very spontanious drawings which look part documentary & part drama.Al Greennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-10668981988050866232009-08-21T09:20:53.674-04:002009-08-21T09:20:53.674-04:00Thank you for the answer Harald.

Did he draw them direct or did he some how piece them together? <br /><br /> He used an opaque projector to draw from reference, probably on tracing paper to put together his composition. Then this would go back in the projector to project on the surface used for the finished art.haraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13847533962327140580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-55708485472655760512009-08-20T14:03:48.253-04:002009-08-20T14:03:48.253-04:00Great stuff.

Did he draw them direct or did he some how piece them together?

Though he might have liked some to believe that he drew from life instead of photo reference, it is his mastery as draftsman that allows him to interpret what he sees with such strength, confidence and knowledge. The fashion might be dated, but this kind of hand never goes out of style.memihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06911285743662579220noreply@blogger.com
