Lance Dooley - Drawings

My philosophy on drawing is to render the figure as clearly as possible to it's natural state, maximizing gesture when possible, paying attention to the rythms and line quality, sharp and soft transitions that give the figure a sense of form turning in space, showing differences between hard bone and soft flesh.

Drawings are doorways into the world of sculpting and painting.
