Recently I've been exploring different ways of drawing. These are few of the more successful ones. I have a hefty stack of failures, but I'm excited about some of the things I learned. The top image was an experiment with scanning in a drawing, destroying it, printing it out again, and then adding pastel and colored pencil on top. The other images were drawn very quickly with black colored pencil, normal pencil, and a little charcoal. I made an effort to draw them without any construction underneath. Just started with a line and tried to make it work. The mistakes were just as fun to work with as the more "correct" marks. Been looking at a lot of Schiele, Kent Williams, and Klimt.
take care!

very cool! really like that top one.
This is one of my favorite posts!
glad to see experimentation.
I definitely see the Shiele influence.
I really like them all. Very successful experiments.
Just a question about the first one. What do you mean with "destroying it"?
Thanks!
Aldo
Very nice, Francis!
YESSSSSSSSS! ALL OF IT
yo francis! these are looking mad fresh. hope all's well.
Hey Francis, lovely stuff as always - I also see a little Dave McKean in there too (his work on Cages specifically) in the faces and female bodies. Are you fan of Dave's?
Always great to see your experiments - thanks for posting.
Cheers,
Jonathan
Yeah MAAAANG! Those girls faces are perfect(in the best non perfect way)! It looks so raw and in the moment! Like you took all the stuff you've learned from school and threw it out the window and just rocked the page. That's the sort of thing that does it for me these days.... and ya nailed it!
Love it. The legs and toes are especially wonderful.
These are awesome! I should try experimenting too...
Some of your best. Might I suggest you re-design your signature, it does not have the same level of aesthetic as the drawings.

Hey Francis: Always happy to see new stuff. Great!!! EMV
I really like your new way of drawings!:o)
Awesome man, your determination to experiment is really inspiring, you always come up with damned beautiful results!
mouth watering, really.
I cannot even begin to describe how inspired I a by your drawings. dude, you're sick..these are sick..you hear me!!!!..awesome!
Francis you never cease to amaze and inspire, you are a machine my friend
ahhh i love all these, and all the artists you mentioned. have you seen the graphic novel version of the fountain? kent williams did it-- he and aronofsky collaborated on it while the film was in pre-production. the man's amazing!
you were amazing from the start...I didn't think you could get any better, but sure enough!
Schiele? Klimt?
I love you.
Hahaha. They are two of my favs, anytime I need inspiration I flip through their books. Helps a lot.
And your sketches are wonderful...but you already knew that.
wow, these are gorgeous! very inspiring.
I'm in love with the last one.
Schiele is my favorite artist. It's amazing to see a little bit of his style in your work. You're truly amazing.
