My hope to to show what many people already know, but my not think about. First, that drawing takes skill just like any form of art. Second, Drawing is not merely a remedial step in the process of making real/fine/better/higher art. Drawing is equal to painting, sculpture, print making, etc.
You may ask what my qualifications are to join my top 10 list. To answer that, I'de have to give my priorities. For instance, I am drawn (no pun intended) to figures, they must emote, which is to say I feel something different when I look at them. In the case that the drawing is not of a person, then it must fit my aesthetic; which is, for lack of a more eloquent phrase, Visually complicated.
So without any further a-du, I present my personal top 12 list:
Sol LeWitt inspired wall art - abstract image with thousands of lines. Posted by Marie Plocharz Rich, Deep, mysterious, captivating |
Mario Freese: "Air Lines" Minimal relative to the other drawings in this list, yet complex in reality. conceptual, light, atmospheric |
King Jack by Christine MacTernan. Layered, narrative, moody, character driven, text is used for texture and context |
by MATT MIMS Captured time: many moments in one, consistent line weight, moody, clever, love the composition |
