This week I decided to contrast awkward youth with a portrait of an older man. I find it interesting that our culture is obsessed with beauty, especially when it comes to aging. Although not the most successful drawing I have done of an older person, the fear of wrinkles and balding are there.
Artist: Jesse Payne
He rendered da Vinci's grotesque sketches, you can see them here....
Not only do I usually enjoy these type of drawings and "grotesque" but occasionally take part in making drawings and sculpy heads. Theres something about the texture, strange sexuality, and expressions of the grotesque that interest me.
