Shadow drawings

Sketch Portrait Drawing 2

Clara Lieu, lithographic crayon on Dura-Lar. This drawing is from "Wading", a project that presents the most severe form of isolation as loneliness that is experienced when physically surrounded by other people. The presence of others is what can intensify the experience of loneliness for an individual. I visually portray loneliness as the experience of feeling unseen and unknown within a group.

I like how shadows are used in this drawing, because they add a twist to it even though it's really simple

The first bit of sunshine that comes your way is the perfect time to get busy with animal shadow drawing!

Artist Willie Hsu draws eerie sketches of animals and people that appear as if they have been trapped behind glass. With each drawing constructed using clever shadowing, it makes them appear as if they are real, three-dimensional, and are trying to reach out to the viewer from the afterlife through the page.
