Claude Heath

The drawing I have chosen for this blog is taken from "The Drawing Book". Which i found to be an amazing visual source for drawing, which made my choice very hard. but a drawing i found myself interested in was 'Epsteins's Hands' by Claude Heath, drawn in 1999. Which is a simple ink on paper drawing, but this is what i like about it. heath has used quick, expressive lines to show the movements and because of this stye of drawing it gives a sense that the hands Heath is trying to capture are also moving fast, in a soft flowing motion. This idea is also put across with the choice of drawing the hands one after the other. i also like the fact that the subject of the drawing may not be at first look known and so draws the on looker into the drawing taking a closer look and these interesting lines and shapes.
