The Study of Richard Brooks

Mixed medium 5"x 5"


The fourth of the series of complementary colors is the study of the successful movie director and screen writer Richard Brooks. He has directed legendary movies such as, “Blackboard Jungle”, “Cat on A Hot Tin Roof” and “Looking for Mr. Good Bar”. For this technique a green wash was applied then a red and white colored pencils were used for the details and highlights.
I enjoy drawing profiles when it comes to face studies for portraits.

It seems more dramatic and profiles also say a lot about the person.
