Drawing investigations

This isn't a very original pick of an inspirational work but Leonardo da Vinci was always will be an ultimate master of observational drawing and drawing investigations. And I will always look up to him.

Anatomy

This is the result of one of the trips to the anatomy museum. It's quite an unusual object but very usual at the same time. Our hands participate in almost everything we do, every routine or ritual.

Nina in a Fur Coat.

This week I picked a drawing by Russian artist Ilya Glazunov. It's a charcoal portrait. What I find extremely fascinating about this drawing is the transition from an almost photographic quality into gradually flattened image and finally just a few strong marks.

The face a see the most.

Almost not a single day passes without seeing that face.

Shoes

My inspiration for this week are Van Gogh's painting of shoes.

Simon's Cat

Simon's Cat is one of my favorite comics. I love the simple yet detailed enough drawings and complete knowledge about the subject (cats' nature) that is visible in each piece. And of course I really admire author's sense of humor.

The Lazy Slob Uniform

(fineliner, coloured pens)

A bit of humor this time. Every time I don't have to go anywhere is a lazy slob time which requires comfortable clothing - the Lazy Slob Uniform. I noticed that there a many styles to it that depend on the occasion. I depicted 4 basic ones:

1) 'Ready to Leave the Flat ( if needed) Style' - It's a semi-slob style. The top is baggy and comfortable but there are still nice jeans at the bottom just in case I need to go somewhere so I don't look like I just got up from bed.

2) 'Russian Style' - Stripy top + baggy comfortable pants + woolen boots. This is probably the style I'm in the most.

3) 'Too Lazy to Change after Work Style' - Sainsbury's uniform worn until I go to bed. As the name suggests, I am simply to lazy/tired to change.

4) 'Deadline Tomorrow/ Up All Night/ Sick Style' - The most comfortable style for critical life moments like those like nights before the crit or essay hand-in. It also works well for being sick and sleeping.
