Drawings of People by Brantley Phillips

Graphite: "photorealistic" drawing 

Portrait of a friend
Brantley Phillips loves to draw people, and I wish I could share more "people" drawings with you but as of now he is, in order to learn, mostly copying drawings that he very much admires. These, above, he did on his own, and he will certainly be doing many more in the future as he enjoys drawing people so much.

I am making one exception, adding a drawing that he drew from a self-portrait by Rembrandt, but it's a very special picture for him, and I understand completely how he feels about it. Also, it's not a drawing of a drawing, but a drawing of a painting.

At the Webmuseum site, you can see the painting that he drew this picture from.

Charcoal: Brantley's Muse - Rembrandt The drawing above is, of course, from a self-portrait by Rembrandt. This drawing is very special to Brantley, as for him it is an inspiration, to have "Rembrandt himself" (though Brantley's wife says it looks more than a little like Brantley) watching him as he's drawing.

Says Brantley: "It's true...there's a little of us in all of our artwork, don't you think? :)

"I do have a very sincere reverence for portraiture. I get all giddy and stupid and have fun with drawings of landscapes, animals, airplanes, whatever . . . but when it comes to people, my spirit quiets down a bit and awe sets in if what I'm looking at is done really well. I can think of no higher calling for an artist than to draw or paint portraits. That's just me, personally . . . . but to see the vibrancy of John Howard Sanden's work, or the energy in Casey Baugh's charcoal drawings . . . or Henry Yan, who can breathe life into a charcoal drawing in 20 minutes or less . . . if I could do what those gifted masters do . . . wow . . . . Like Robert Henri said, 'Yours should be the drawing of the human spirit through the human form.' These guys have achieved that. I want to achieve that, too.

"That's one reason I like my Rembrandt drawing so much . . . I drew it because I admire Rembrandt a lot . . . he pioneered chiaroscuro and loose painting at a time when the establishment wanted polished paintings. But he was sure of his abilities and no one could deny his pure, raw talent. He did the polished paintings, of course, but my favorite paintings of his are fresh and not overworked. Like his self-portraits. So I wanted to do a portrait of him in that same style . . . . sketchy, fresh . . . Hey, that'd be a good nickname for me and where I want to go with my art, wouldn't it? Just call me 'Sketchy Fresh'... :)"

In the last month or so I've put up three posts on drawings by Brantley Phillips, and this is the last of this little series. The other posts are on his aircraft drawings and his dog drawings. In January, there was a post on his art workspace. I wanted to introduce not only his artwork but also Brantley himself, so there's quite a bit about him on all these posts, as well as samples of his drawings. I hope you've enjoyed these posts as much as I've enjoyed . . . I was going to say "as much as I enjoyed writing them" but the truth is that Brantley has written them along with me. It's been a pleasure.

Brantley Phillips - Dog Drawings

Graphite Drawing: Moose

Graphite Drawing: Lilly

Graphite Drawing: Two Dogs

Brantley's wife skating ahead, their dog Adak pulling Brantley (who took the picture)

Brantley Phillips lives in Alaska. Here's an earlier post, on some of Brantley's aircraft drawings, in which you can find out more about him. "He's a stud, just take our word for it...(Jean, don't you dare post that on your blog!)" Okay, Brantley, I promise I won't post -- What was it you didn't want me to post?

As you can see, Brantley's dog, Adak, is not a homebody. Brantley loves his dog (and obviously Adak thinks of enough of Brantley to willingly tow him across a frozen lake), and he loved drawing his friends' dogs shown in these pictures. Brantley adds:

"That day on the frozen lake was literally one in a million. The lake (Portage Lake) is huge, about 5 miles long and 2 miles wide, and because of perfect temps and (lack of) precipitation, it had frozen perfectly and had the surface of a wet-mopped ice rink. Carrie was going to skate, I was going to use the kicksled (basically dog mushing without the dog), and Adak was going to trot along beside us in his little ice booties to our intended destination, Portage Glacier on the other side of the shore . . . but 5 minutes into it my feet were freezing and I didn't think I would make it. Carrie, however, had recently taught Adak how to pull a sled and he loved it (Rottweilers are traditionally working dogs; they are at their happiest when they have a job to do, like pull, herd, carry packs, whatever) so she suggested we hook him up and let him pull me on the sled. I had never done this with him before but was certainly willing to give it a try . . . He was so excited as we readied his harness . . . He kept looking back at me with this child-like anticipation . . . When he was secure I yelled out "Hike!" and he took off, ripping me across this gorgeous landscape, and all I had to do was steer the sled and enjoy the ride as this surreal scenery went whizzing by . . . That day was amazing . . . We got to the glacier and people were playing hockey, setting up tents . . . it looked like an Antarctic block party. When we started back Adak kept running up to me and looking at the sled, he wanted so bad to "play sled" again . . . so, of course, I hooked him back up and I don't even think I got to yell out the "go" command this time . . . he just saw me step on the sled and zip! Here we go again! He was such a blessing to me that day . . . and he was actually disappointed when we got back to the car and made him get in for the ride home. From that day forward I had a new-found respect for my dog...."
"I do love animals, by the way. How can you not? As we speak I have our cat, Chess, sitting in my lap, purring . . . or snoring . . . I'm not sure which . . . :) I'm not an animal activist or anything, but I just can't help seeing an animal in the wild, or meeting someone's beloved pet, and not feeling a respect and appreciation for them . . . long live the furry creatures of this world . . . ."

Moose outside the window at Brantley's house

It's no wonder Brantley's dog drawings are so sympathetically and sensitively done.
It's so easy writing about Brantley and his artwork, as I hardly have to write a thing - His pictures speak for themselves! Also, Brantley speaks very well for himself. His pictures, though, have not been seen on a blog or website before and I'm proud that they're first being shown here.

There will be one more post coming up on Brantley and some of his drawings, as I want to make sure I include different subjects, confining each post to just one. The last post was on his aircraft drawings.

Aircraft Drawings by Brantley Phillips

Graphite drawing: A6

Graphite drawing: A10

Graphite drawing: Blackhawk

Graphite drawing: Chinook

The artist: Brantley Phillips

Brantley Phillips is an artist, a pilot, an outdoorsman, a lover of fine food and a gourmet cook, a happily married man with a terrific wife, and a really friendly guy liked by a lot of people, including me. He gets a lot out of life and he gives a lot back. In my next few blog posts I'll be writing more about him and showing more pictures. In this post I want to tell you about his love of flying and show you a bit of his aircraft art.

"Thank you [says Brantley]! Although I really don't know if I'm much of an outdoorsman ... to tell you the truth my favorite outdoor activity is slow-cooking barbecue ribs while smoking a cigar.

"I used to do these pictures after I hung up my wings and became a dispatcher for the company I flew Medevac for. I worked the night shift, which I loved, being a night owl...but you'd go for hours with nothing happening so I'd bring my art stuff and draw these pictures in the wee hours. I wasn't looking at real aircraft for my models, unfortunately, just pictures of airplanes off the internet, but it was great fun and a most rewarding way to pass the time."

Brantley and his wife live in Alaska now, but they started out in the "Lower 48." In his first year of college Brantley attended the University of Georgia but he had always loved airplanes and got his private pilot's license in his senior year of high school, so when he learned that you could major in airplanes at Florida Institute of Technology he transferred there after his freshman year.

After graduation he moved back to his home state of South Carolina and worked at a few aviation jobs. "I got to fly turboprops, teach others how to fly, loved it all." He got married and he and his wife decided to move to Alaska where Brantley got a job as a copilot on a Lear jet flying Medevac patients from small towns to Anchorage for medical care. "For three years I got to see every inch of Alaska, from Ketchikan to Barrow to the tip of the Aleutian chain, I got to see it all. I wouldn't trade those experiences for the world."

Eventually, however, he realized he'd seen everything he wanted to see and decided he wanted something with a better schedule. He is now working at a desk job and "happy I get to sleep in my own bed at night and I don't get called out to fight blizzards on some remote island at 3 a.m."

Final approach to the small island town of Sitka in Southeast Alaska.

To be continued. (More on Brantley and more pictures in my next post.)

Drawing with a Ballpoint Pen - Part 3

This is my third post on drawing with a ballpoint pen. Look for the other posts on this site. (See the right side of this page for ways to find your way around here).

I've found that many people use ballpoint pens for serious drawing, and now that I know that these pens are called "biros" in some other countries, I've been able to find more sites with ballpoint pen drawings. However, it's still slim pickings when it comes to sites that make it easy for you to get to what you're looking for, that do not have too many distractions (such as ads, irritating background colors and fonts, too many unrelated things on the same page as the drawings, etc.), and that show (consistently) good artwork.

I've just looked through listings of hundreds of sites with biro/ballpoint/Bic drawings and looked at probably a couple dozen of them that sounded promising. I was hoping to find five more ballpoint drawings sites to add (I linked to several sites with ballpoint pen drawings in an earlier post on this subject), but I found just three that I liked (and it took me literally hours to find just these three). These three sites are listed below.

To fatten up this post, I'll add some more of my own Bic pen drawings below the links.

NEW BALLPOINT PEN DRAWING LINKS

Click on "Portraits." There are only two of them but they're really nice.

Whoever "sketchdude" is, I can't find him anywhere on the web except on this (tiny) site and one other, an Ebay site where he shows just a few of his pictures, all either for sale or sold. There's nothing extraneous on this site - It shows artwork and it's for sale, that's it. I admire the artist's sensitivity and sense of beauty and his lack of pretension. The three pictures shown here are a portrait of his mother, a self-portrait, and a still-life. The still-life was done in pencil.

Drawing with a Ballpoint Pen - Part 2

Since I wrote a post on drawing with a ballpoint pen recently, I've made up a new video (see below) that shows twenty of my ink drawings. I used a Bic ballpoint pen on all of them, and on several I used other pens also. Before each drawing is shown on the video, it tells what kind of pens I used. They include a Bic ballpoint pen, Sharpie marker, PaperMate felt-tip pen, and Staples gel pen. You can see the video below.

SCROLL DOWN BELOW VIDEO FOR NOTES ON THE DRAWINGS SHOWN IN THE VIDEO

Video Title: 20 Ink Drawings
Time: 6 Minutes, 23 Seconds

Left-click twice (gently) on arrow in middle of picture to begin. There is quiet piano music in the background which makes the video more pleasant, but there is no narrative so you don't have to have your sound turned on. By the way, although the picture you see here is "fuzzy," on the video all the pictures, including this one, are much clearer.

NOTES ON THE DRAWINGS IN THIS VIDEO

All of my drawings are small. I use an ordinary clipboard (the one I used in college for taking notes) as my drawing board. I usually clip on a sheet of ordinary inexpensive drawing paper or else a piece of Bristol board I've cut from the tablet (I prefer the Bristol board for ink drawings, but it's more expensive). Sometimes, not often, I lean a tablet against the clipboard rather than taking off one sheet and clipping it on. The tablet is never bigger than 9" X 12" in size.

When I just clip on a sheet of paper, there are dozens of sheets of 8-1/2" X 11" notebook paper clipped underneath so the backing is firm but also a bit resilient -- just right for drawing. I lean the clipboard against some small boxes that keep it almost but not quite straight up and down (that is, almost at a 90 degree angle). Of course I keep something (heavy and short) in front of it to keep it from sliding forward.

Below is a list of all the drawings shown in the video, in order of their "appearance." I've given the dimensions of each picture (they aren't given in the video, though I do tell what kind of pen(s) I used).

1) Gnarled Old Tree (5-3/4" X 7-3/4")

2) Front of House and Shrubbery (4-1/2" X 8")

3) Back of House and Shrubbery (4-3/4" X 8")

4) Garden Shed Covered with Vines (5-1/8" X 7-5/8")

5) New York City Street Scene (6-1/2" X 5-7/8")

6) Laundry on Hill in China (6" X 7")

7) Narrow Street on Hill in China (5-5/8" X 5-1/8")

8) Mockingbird in the Snow (4-1/2" X 5")

9) Mockingbird Feeding his Baby (3-1/4" X 5-3/8")

10) Cat Eating out of Small Dish (4" X 5-1/4")

11) Grinning Cat Lying on Side (5-1/2" X 6")

12) Sleeping Dog in Wicker Chair (7" X 8")

13) Ground Squirrel (5-3/4" X 7")

14) Rabbit Eating off Ground (6" X 8")

15) Tree Frog (4-5/8" X 6-7/8")

16) 1947 Pontiac Convertible in Junkyard (5-1/2" X 8-1/2")

17) Old Cadillac Convertible in Junkyard (5-1/2" X 8")

18) DeSoto AirFlow with Large Birds in Attendance (5-1/2" X 8-1/2")

19) Wrecked 1957 Oldsmobile in Junkyard (7" X 8")

20) Old car in Junkyard (5" X 7-1/2")

Drawing with a Ballpoint Pen

I love to draw with inexpensive Bic ballpoint pens.  I believe there's nothing wrong with using ordinary ballpoint pens and other easy-to-find, low-priced materials when drawing.

I love these pens because they cost so little. I imagine other kinds of inexpensive ballpoint pens would work, but these are available everywhere and I know they'll do what I want them to do so why try something else? Besides, they're often on sale and cost even less than they usually do.

Believe it or not, just within the last week I've received (as a hand-delivered gift - no postage involved) six packs of ten of them (bought at three packs for a U.S. dollar on sale), and I already had two new packs that were bought for more (but still at a bargain price). This means I now have EIGHTY Bic "Cristal" (see-through) black-ink pens, and so I'm getting ready to really enjoy myself drawing with ink again.

I do realize that there are things you can do with good drawing pens and a large variety of bottled inks that you cannot do with ordinary ballpoint pens and the one-tone-no-choice ink inside them. However, there are also many, many things you can do with a ballpoint pen. The other things can come later. To me the most important thing is not the kind of pen or the color or tone of ink, but the person who's using the pen. What can I do with a simple ballpoint pen, using my own talent, skill, sensitivity and vision, I ask myself, and I want to find out. It's a great challenge. I like a challenge, not a "sure thing" (ensured by having fancy, expensive equipment that makes me look like I'm better than I really am - Let's find out what I can do without that extra help, I tell myself).

It's not that I mind hard work or taking the time to learn something new - I am a very steady, hard worker and nobody could ever say that I don't follow through and finish things that I believe are worthwhile no matter how long it takes. In fact that's exactly why I'm continuing to use these pens; I have hardly begun to learn what I can do with them.

Some might think that the time spent drawing with a ballpoint pen is time wasted because you are never going to produce anything that is of "lasting quality" or that can be sold, or etc., no matter how much time or effort you put into it.  I don't think it's time wasted at all.

If you're afraid to use an ink pen because whatever you do cannot be erased -- and you're certain to make mistakes (as I do) -- you can lose most of that fear if you have a zillion backup pens on hand, or can easily buy them most anywhere and for very little money. Because I realize that it doesn't matter nearly as much if I do make a mistake (the worst that can happen is that I may have to start over and I have endless pens ready to use, so I don't panic and make things even worse trying to "correct" my mistake), I'm able to relax, work with more confidence, try new approaches, and make better drawings (at least in general - I do have duds, too). And it's a lot more fun this way.

Below are some examples of my Bic ballpoint pen drawings. These drawings are all on my website, along with other ink drawings (plus Conte crayon and pencil drawings).

The following site is confusing to me - There's so much on there, so many pictures - But it's a site that has many artworks produced by someone who uses Bic pens, or I think they're Bics. At least they're black ink ballpoint pens (he has added some color to a few of the pictures). Biro Art Gallery - Biro Doodles with a ball point pen by "NobbyNobody."

You're making a mess of things - Good - Keep going

Erase what you don't like, or scrape it off, or work it into the drawing or the painting. If it still doesn't work out, start over again. The point is: Making lousy drawings doesn't make you a lousy artist. Think of it as a good thing if you mess up something, as long as you realize it - realizing it is key because that shows you're not accepting your present level of expertise (or non-expertise) as the best you'll ever do.

If you're making "mistakes" it means you're still trying to do better, not that you're a flop as an artist. It means that you're going somewhere. Now if you keep making the very same mistakes over and over and over again, perhaps (just perhaps) you might start to wonder if this is the field for you.

I keep wondering if Ingres ever used an eraser or crumpled up any of his pictures and threw them away. I'm sure he did. Surely he wasn't born drawing perfect pictures.

Self-Portrait, 1822
Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres
French 1780-1867

Did Rembrandt ever draw a line he wished he hadn't made?

Elephant
Rembrandt van Rijn
Dutch 1606-1669

Durer? When he was a kid, just learning to draw?

Self-Portrait - Age 13
Albrecht Durer
German 1471-1528

Rubens? Were all of the great artists drawing and painting perfect pictures already when they were little kids? I don't suppose they were, at least not when they began and for years after that. They had to be enthusiastic about the subject, and dedicated, and work very, very hard at it for a long, long time. They had a talent for it, surely, but talent is something that needs to be developed. You need to be inspired, in "love" with art, have it become the central focus of your life, have some motivation that keeps you going in spite of the difficulties you will keep running into, and preferably you should be in constant contact, while you're learning, with someone who is already an accomplished artist (one of your parents maybe, or an uncle, or a friend of the family, or someone you're apprenticed to) who will be your earliest instructor and mentor. An artistic genius may produce wonderful pictures when they're, say, twelve years old, but that's because they started very early in life and have been hard at work since they began.

How about Vincent van Gogh, who needless to say had talent and even genius, but who didn't know he even wanted to be an artist until about ten years before he died at age 37. His first drawings and paintings wouldn't have been encouraging to me, but he was completely dedicated to what he was doing and just kept going on and on and on. Here's one of his first pictures, courtesy of the-atheneum.org:

Vincent van Gogh
Dutch - 1853-1890
A Digger - 1881

Pencil, chalk, and watercolor on paper

Less than ten years later, he produced this complex and beautiful painting:

Vincent van Gogh
The Church at Auvers - 1890

Surely no artist has ever been more dedicated and hard-working and persistent, nor have many faced more difficulties than van Gogh.

I'm sure that Picasso must have used an eraser when he was young, unless he just tossed aside his ugly messes and grabbed another piece of paper; since his father was an artist (and art teacher), there must have been a lot of paper available. And certainly the first pictures he painted were not framed and hung on the wall ... Well, maybe they were, who knows, but you know what I mean. I read a Picasso quote once where he claimed that when he was a boy he never drew like other children, but (rather) very perfectly ... however, pictures I've seen of some of his childhood drawings dispute that claim. They look like typical childhood drawings to me. (He may not have been aware that his family was keeping many of his childhood drawings and paintings, which are now available for all to see.) He did paint some beautiful pictures while a teenager, but this was after many years of dedicated hard work. "There is no need to follow the customary line of seeing Picasso as a miraculous infant prodigy. Still, the sheer wealth and quality of his youthful output are staggering." (Quote from book: Pablo Picasso - edited by Ingo F. Walther)

Bullfight - 1892
Pencil and gouache, 13 x 21 cm
Pablo Ruiz y Picasso
Spanish - 1881-1973

It seems to me that art is very seldom meant to be a test of one's ability to do everything "perfectly" the first time we try it, and it shouldn't be. It's the results that count. The idea is to have something in the end that is right for what you want it to do. If you need to start over because you have "ruined" it, then start over. Next time you'll know better, and maybe make some "better" mistakes.

If you're very lucky, you can still do something with the picture that you've "ruined," but it will take a lot longer than you had expected it would when you began. I have read many times about how artists have tried (and this seems like a good idea to me) to make their artwork look fresh and innocent as a newborn baby, as though they had drawn or painted with no difficulty at all; beautifully, intuitively, without hesitation. However, sometimes, in actuality, it has taken them many days (weeks, months) to do a drawing that looks like it was done in 3-5 minutes, or years to finish a painting that looks like it was done in a day. The important thing is that the result looks unlabored. It sometimes takes lots and lots of labor, and endless patience and much thought, to get a result that looks unlabored.

If we don't make a mess of things now and then it's because we're not trying anything new, and so we don't move forward - We get stuck in a rut with our art, doing what we do well over and over again endlessly. This may cause us to turn out an uninterrupted flow of skillful and lovely artwork, but we could never progress from the point at which we are frozen (the point where our fear - and perhaps laziness - takes over) and we could never find out what we could have accomplished if only we hadn't let our egotism and fear keep us from moving ahead.

"Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

"I tell you, if one wants to be active, one must not be afraid of going wrong, one must not be afraid of making mistakes now and then. Many people think that they will become good just by doing no harm - but that's a lie, and you yourself used to call it that. That way lies stagnation, mediocrity."
