Biro Drawings.

 These are images of other drawings i have created over the last couple of months. The drawing about is a black Biro drawing of Nicholas Evariste's. This is a cropped down version of the whole piece. Evariste is an extremely fresh young photographer which has stormed into the lime light of fine photography. Evariste is only 27 years old and originates from France. He started photography in 2006. Evariste was quickly attracted by black and white and square format photography.  Landscape holds a strong influence on Evariste's work and also animal photography in both marco and micro forms.
"A dark style for the Normans coasts affected by storms, contrasting with the softness and serenity of wild plants ... a wide variety of series are present in my gallery.  Photography, but not only ... Indeed, I am passionate about everything related to the picture ... Graphic designer by trade, I am also fanatical about painting, cinema, or literature. I like the image in all its forms!" Out of my admiration for this amazing photographer and his incredible photographs i was compelled into drawing one of his pieces in utter detail to justify his work. I really hope that is Nicholas Evariste was ever to see my drawn version he would feel that i had done a good job.

I have a passion for big cats. I love watching documentaries on animals, the way they behave, characteristics, habitat etc. One of my favourite animals are the fabulous and elusive Tiger. Again this is another Biro drawing, as you are probably starting to see, i have a slight obsession with the cheap black ball point pens. If anyone asked me when my favourite medium is to work in, my answer would always be a Biro. It took me a fair while to create this piece. But the satisfaction of finishing it is so worth the hard work. this piece of work is drawn on a A3 piece of cartridge paper, which works really well with Biro. Having a paper with a slightly textures surface means that you can blend out the Biro and masks some of the 'accidental' lines. Having a more smooth paper means that every mark can be seen... However, i believe that every stroke, every line, every mark hand in hand brings something special to a piece of work. I find that the mistakes normally make the piece of work.
