All my work starts off as an initial drawing. I try to use a varied range of media but I tend to get stuck in the same rut of using left hand, blind, continuous line and loose hand. I also tend to only use a black fine liner, sharpie, stick and ink and a pencil. I feel my drawings and design development will benefit from a different range of media, possibly wet or coloured? And also a wider range of drawing and mark making techniques. I've decided to publish my favourite and most inspiring styles of drawing from other artists here, as a permanent, on-line reference. Here's the start....
Sandra Suy illustrates woman in sepia tones yet leaves the skin the same as the paper. She adds small splashes of colour in some of the garments. This is my style of drawing as I tend to shy away from colour but I think a small insert is manageable.

the most beautiful part of her illustrations are the eyes. She probably analyses this in more detail compared to others due to her career as a make-up artist.
