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

With this picture I first planned out the pose with charcoal pencil then I painted the tones with varying intensities of sepia ink. I resisted the temptation to outline everything with my ink nib (which I normally do) and it has a softer look as a result. See a more detailed version of Sepia girl (Sepia ink figure painting) on my new website.
'There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot, but there are others who, thanks to their art and intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun.' - Pablo Picasso
