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

My favourite thing with this drawing is the knee that his hand is on. I intentionally made the outlines on his knee slightly stronger than the drawing in the background and as a result his knee is pushed forward and kind of stands out from the picture. I will definitely be using this technique from now on in my work, it's very effective. See a more detailed version of Man on tall stool (Soft charcoal pencil rendered drawing) on my new website.
