Artist Research - Harry Simmonds
Planning my project, I have been looking for artists who specialised in Ink drawings, and the one that kept my eye was Harry Simmonds. He is a British artist born in 1978 in Bristol. Most of his works present human bodies or portraits created in a very specific style. Simmonds created his own style of drawing by using ink and white acrylic paints on separate sheets. The techniques used in the drawings give a dynamic in its unusual form. 'Head of Mike 2' 89.5 x 70 cm approx. Ink and Acrylic on Paper. 'Head of George 1' 99.4 x 70 cm. Ink and Acrylic on Paper. During the research for my ink drawing, I decided to create my piece on separate A4 watercolour sheets like Harry Simmonds. Another interesting aspect of his works is the presented facial expressions. As my drawings will include many faces, I think Simmonds's works might be a great reference in finalising my piece.

Michal, this was not your sign off - the title of this post is misleading - I advise you change it to 'Catch Up Tutorial'. Would be good to hear from you about what you are going to do next based on this tutorial (and the MANY discussions we have had in your studio).
