Facial Fetchers

Ricardo Fumanal is interested in the fine art of photography for fashion and advertising. He specialises in illustration drawing using a broad array of techniques and languages. The media he mainly uses is mainly drawing with marker, pencil and ink on paper and constructing compositions his work that show two meanings.

His work looks as if action of speed and stillness exist working side by side creating a gaze effect upon his work. His images flow and it provides a representation as a collage of human activity. His compositing experiments with confrontation between figures and background; he is inspired by icons and spontaneously topical items that influence his work and make it unique and interesting.













The detailed representation of how he makes materials even shine in his work to make the clothing upon the person look life like. He likes to layer his work, and experiment with different blocks of colour; he shows beauty in its finest with his delicate use of shape and tone. The subject matter is important to my work as I like to construct composition and delicate line through my drawings. My drawings are often personal. This is a drawing of a very good friend of mine and I wanted to show the intricacy and the sculptor like form of the facial features. Using the elements of Fumanal’s composition tone of sketch and use of blocked colour I have created my own response to his work and as an artist he inspires me to draw people showing their true personality and figment of beauty.
