2010.04.10 Steve Huison (English Artist)

Brushes App on my IPod Touch

Directly from a photo.

30-40 minutes.

 

March-April 2010, I intend to draw a different contemporary artist every day.

 

Today's portrait is of English artist Steve Huison, at a very young age. Clearly he gets some of his good humor from his father! As an adult, Steve is a man of many talents - an accomplished actor, artist, and photographer to name a few. I like how Steve builds up layers of thin pen lines in his drawings, varying their length and shape to describe angular volumes and curling hair. The surprise is that he can also use straight lines to describing curving volumes.

 

You can see Steve's artwork on his flickr imagestream:

We're having a Portrait Party on flickr - more than 100 artists drawing each other! Below is Steve's portrait of me from the party. If you're an artist who'd like to draw/paint other flickr artists, please join the Portrait Party at: www.flickr.com/groups/portraitparty/
