I've been spending time drawing things I wouldn't normally draw. Here's another in my portraits of psychologists series. Still can't say I'm comfortable with this subject, but I'm enjoying the challenge. There is also something very interesting about drawing psychologists.This is B.F.Skinner. He is of the behaviourist school of psychology. And HERE are a few photos of the man himself.
BF Skinner was always one of my favorites. Have you ever read his Utopian novel, Walden Two, that he wrote?
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful hatching you do. It is so inspiring.
ReplyDeleteWell, you must be getting some positive reinforcement out of doing these drawings! I agree with Nancy, very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting, graphic portrayal - what a good idea for a series

Cheers guys.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tags - I've decided to complete it as a visual challenge so it may take a little time, but I'll get there.
Omly - I have not read it but I'll definately look it up.
Thanks for the comments, and compliments, about this drawing. I really appreciate them.
I am quite happy with this one. I like to think I captured something of his character. Molly I agree he is so picturesque. I like the twinkle in his eye - and his comedy hair!
Thank you all.
i like your portraits too. this one is as great as the freud portrait. why do you not feel too comfortable about these? they are great.
ReplyDeleteA great drawing... I like your whole apporach to these portraits, they're different and interesting.

This is so cool Andrea, your portraits are so fine and clean!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys.
ReplyDeleteKsklein - I have only posted the better ones. A LOT have not made it this far as they are just awful!
Ronell - thanks, I think this whole project has been about finding some kind of style that you are comfortable with within portraiture. I did try more realistic stuff but it really was NOT happening.
Cheers Mariana.
