Between the world of men and transcendent divinity there exists art. Art is the will to truth made physically manifest. It is more real then Reality. It is a dialogue triumphant over Time. – Andre Malraux

Still Life Organizational Line Drawings

Organizational line drawings provide a structural, analytical framework for a drawing.  These lines take the measure of an object's height, width, depth, and spacial relation to any other objects next to it.  Typically the lines are rough and the edges are unfinished.  I don't really like messy lines, so on all of my drawings the lines and edges are cleaner.  The samples below are some that I did during my Drawing I class in 2011.

Divine Irony - Concept Sketch #2

This sketch was inspired by DC Vertigo's comic book series Lucifer, a spinoff of Neil Gaimon's The Sandman series and by Dante Alighieri's novel The Divine Comedy.  

Lucifer Morningstar is a handsome devil dressed in a tuxedo shown reading and being amused by Dante's novel.  

This sketch was the second one I did while trying to figure out the composition I wanted for the final painting.




Medium: Graphite on vellum
