Art questions September 2021

 Pencil drawing from February 1997.

Q: Do you ever use reference photos for your drawings?

A: Usually I don't need them. I take my own reference photos. Some of them are experimental.

Being able to picture something in your mind is very useful, but occasionally I have to check what something looks like. Most of my drawings are not realistic and they come from my imagination. My realistic drawings were quite advanced when I was 11 and I always had reference photos back then.

Q: Have you ever done a self portrait?

A: No. I have used my face for different ideas and there are about 35 drawings.

They are collected here
