Minimalist Series - Kate [graphite]
For whatever reason I have always loved the look of high contrast art where the grey tones are essentially eliminated and all you are left with are the main features. I think a lot of this comes from the fact that I love art that deals with light as its main driver for the look and feel of a piece. Generally a very strong light will create a high contrast as the strong highlights push the grey tones out of the way.
I did this piece a while ago but I wanted to move it over to my art account where it belongs.
Here is an eye tutorial I made using this piece for anyone interested.
If you're interested in learning art, I have started a series for just that!
Thanks for stoppping by!

Beautiful artwork, i love the realism of it.
thank you so much Kubby!
Nice job, the shading and fading looks great
thanks man :)
I’m too messy to work with graphene ..... so oooo good!
thank you reddust! Yeah it can be a bit messy, charcoal is even worse! (at least for me)
I know I've said it a thousand times, but I love what you do <3
thank you :) Hopefully much more to come!
Maybe it's all that strikingness that comes when it's not nicely midtoned :)
yeah, I think it does create a cool effect to it. Thanks for stopping by :)
Gorgeous! Ugh! Those eyes, those lips. I feel like I could get lost in them. Talking about the technique of course and not the woman herself. I feel like I should state that for posterity :/ The glint in those eyes... man... I'm shaking my head in awe. You never fail to impress, brother! Is this a famous Kate?
This is Kate Bock - currently dating Kevin Love of the Cleveland Cav's - I actually came across her before she became "famous" (she ended up being in the SI swimsuit edition later) and then I saw her court side at the cav's game and was kind of surprised, that's when I found out she was dating Love - I was a little mad at Love for a while for stealing her away after I had called "dibs" on her (my cats were witnesses to that) but I eventually got over it.
Holy cow! I didn't know Love was, well... making love to such a dazzling beauty. I've always allowed myself to support at least two non-Spur players, and Love has been one ever since his rookie days. I never thought he had it in him to bag such a hottie! I guess dibs won't count when you're a high roller haha
Also, you were courtside at a Cavs game!? Wow! That's awesome, brother!
ha, I wish - no I just meant that I saw her courtside.....through the tv
Aha! You got me there!
