I have been looking at the work of Ralph Steadman. I have always been a fan of his work. Not only do I love the scratchy, chaotic quality of his lines, but I especially love the way that he interprets and depicts what he's drawing. He tries to capture the atmosphere and the mood of the subject, rather than simply what it looks like. He uses expressive lines and marks which explain this. I also love the abstract faces of his charcters. This is my copy of one of his illustrations. I don't like copying other artists work, but I often find it helps me to understand the way that that artist has worked.
