From figure studies to pure fantasy (Patreon)

If you want to be good as a surreal artist, you have to wrap your mind around real things first. Figure drawing is a wonderful way to acquaint yourself with reality.

Sometimes I sketch friends and acquaintances who pose for me.

Most other times, I make very quick "snapshot" doodles while looking at people in crowded public settings, and then refine them into abstract forms. This latter method is extremely potent - strongly recommended!

When you get the hang of drawing figures this way, leaps into pure abstraction become easier, and more colourful.

Thank you for supporting me on Patreon, and beyond. If you want me to draw you, and / or a loved one in this free-hand and colourful way, just let me know!
