Pieter Lategan Title: Redraw of self-portrait of Clyfford Still


Medium: A4 Paper Pencil HB, 4B

Clyfford Still (November 30, 1904 – June 23, 1980) was an American painter, and one of the leading figures in the first generation of Abstract Expressionists  He develop a powerful approach to painting in the years following World War II.  Still has been credited with laying the groundwork for the movement, as he shifts from representational (relating to or denoting art which aims to depict the physical appearance of things. "the abstract and representational elements in the same picture") to abstract painting occurred between 1938 and 1942.

So what do I think about my own sketch which I redraw from Still?  II used an HB and B4 to draw and actually I think II should take a B2 or B3 to do my drawing.

I like the face but feel and the hair, the background is a bit skimpy and II feel it could have more detail.  Ii personally thinks it took him about 20 min to draw it if it was so long.
