More experimental shadows on silhouette sketches. Today’s edition: Coffee Drinkers. I sketch these in aqua and black and photograph in black and white to get an idea of how it will print up. Reference photos for these sketches are from my outings to a recent local farmers market.

A recent post from @jectoons reminded me that this website existed, so I did some facial expression studies tonight.

Just a couple quick ones. ^^

Quick drawings could serve a variety of purposes, and it is not always clear today why an artist created a particular sketch. This one may record a painting Fragonard saw during a journey to Italy, or capture an idea he was considering for a painting of his own. Orpheus, identified by the lute, grasps for his love Eurydice as she is pulled down into Hades. The snarling animals near his feet may represent Cerberus, the multiheaded guard dog of the underworld.
