Studying basic pencil drawing, finished sketching oil paintings on linen.
Artist Nathan Walsh with his amazing drawings and paintings.
Many of the pieces below contain both, one of them. The rest I just included the panels.
Sheer beauty and perfection in the details in both illustrations. The colors in the painting seem to better distinguish subtle tonal changes, close-ups, and overlapping details. This is where the graphics come in: they are so packed with information that they are almost hard to read.
Great way to make us aware of the amount of work and precision that goes into each of these pieces.
In a way, the drawing sets the playing field and the paintings strike it out of the park with a beautiful, realistic execution.
Take a look below and see what you think.
