Pen & Ink Celebrity Art

Pen & ink drawings are by for the most popular drawing medium to work with because it reproduces with such clarity and sharpness. However, there are time when the soft shade and shadows of pencil and charcoal bring out features of the person. Since my youth I have been drawn to the medium of pen & ink. There is just something exacting and right about the way the ink flows from the pen onto the paper.

Lightning Fast Celebrity Art

Like Enrico Caruso, I am a lightning artist and within moments I can jot down the character of any face or figure. These pen & inks that I do are first jotted down in pencil and then quickly finished in ink. On the average it takes me about 5 minutes to draw each portrait. If you look closely at any of my drawings you can see the light pencil lines. Of course I can do very detailed pen & inks but I seek the brevity of capturing the moment.

Pencil & Charcoal Celebrity Art

Pencil and charcoal also make for great celebrity art. The quality that pencil and charcoal offer are the soft gradual change of tones. When you are working with pen & ink you need to work hatch marks to secure the shade and shadow. However, with pencil and charcoal you can ever so gradually develop the shadows.

Scholars & Authors

A large sector of people in both Academia and Research have been placed here as well. Certainly people like Vincent Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Albert Schweitzer, and Bertrand Russell, though not celebrities on the screen and of viral internet fame, certainly qualify in my mind as celebrities and so I have place them here.
