Art, comics, graphic design and web development by the artist: Matthew Taylor

When I draw multiple drawings on the one page in my sketchbook I sometimes like to overlap them to give a sense of depth. In this sketch the pose on the right was drawn behind the previous drawing even though it was the same girl.
I really liked this models hair, she was wearing a little scarf to pull her hair back and there were some nice messy locks sticking out at the back of her head. They were fun to draw.
See a larger version of Sketch of two girls (Graphite pencil drawing) on my new website.
'The portrait is one of the most curious art forms. It demands special qualities in the artist, and an almost total kinship with the model.' - Henri Matisse
