Hello to all,

These are 2 new drawings I

Oh, Carlos, I LOVE these drawings! They are all that drawings should be: expressive, lively, accurate. You know when to stop before the life goes out of a drawing. These are full of life!

Carlos,

These are truly brilliant. Like Alex said, they are so full of life. I stand in awe and admiration - and a little jealousy - before this great work. You are one my absolute favorite artists on this Forum.

Carlos,
it's great drawings.

I like how you weight the value tones over the linedrawing, it gives a painterly quality and emphasizes the beautiful color of the sanguine.

Tremendous work, Carlos. So fresh, and such an intelligent placement of the figure on the paper with the lovely white space - almost as thought the figure and the space were conversing. There's a drawing competition coming up by North Light books and advertised in last month's Artist's Magazine which I think you should enter these into. It seems a great opportunity. It is the second edition of the book Strokes of Genius on the back cover of which a drawing of Chris Saper's was displayed. I will post the actual details in the appropriate section later on today when I have some more time. The deadline, I think, is the end of March' 08.

Yummy work, Carlos!

Carlos,

These are beautiful portraits. I wish I could get this much done in 50 minutes. ;)

Great job.

Carlos
 

Beautiful drawings, full of life!

Sharon, Alex, David, Allan, Thomasin, Richard, and Dan....
Thank you, all, for taking time to view and comment. And all of these from artists of such high caliber, makes me appreciate them even more. What a generous comment, David...I

Carlos, I think this is the first time I see your drawings (I might have missed them if you posted some before), they are just so immediate ! And you stopped exactly at the right moment too, without overworking but really telling us all we needed to know.
I also like the placement of the head very much in both works and the balance between lines and modelling, very beautiful
