Another piece from the ink drawing series I began a few years ago {first seen here}.
Both sketches are inspired by fashion advertisements - the woman on the left was discovered in an old Ralph Lauren ad and the lips on the right were cropped from a David Yurman feature.
What initially drew me to these images was the sense of drama inherent in each photo. Each seemed to harbor a secret, somewhat foreboding story. Further cropping the subjects with my pen, I accentuated and heightened the sense of mystery and danger lurking beneath the surface. Together, the sketches speak to each other and create an even more complex and dark tale... left for the viewer to create.
