'The Long Corridor, Palazzo della Ragione, Padua.' (c1970) Peter Kelly's painting shows the classical draughtsmanship that characterises much of his work. His liking of a limited palette occasionally warmed by brighter accents is reminiscent of the Dutch Scandinavian Schools.

'Sunday, Graham Street, Islington.' Painted in 1953, Charles McCall's work is instantly recognisable with a style very much his own. Like Edward Bawden and Edward Ardizzone, he belongs to a British tradition of fluent and well observed draughtsmanship.

I'm fairly sure that's Rush Limbaugh, not Dubya. Also, yes, truly shitty draughtsmanship b/c this mfer's no cubist

kind of annoying when the type of artist who would harp on about how AI art isn't real art because art is made with intention also gets up in arms about stylistic choices. poor draughtsmanship isn't real unless you're really going for something more naturalistic.

Henri Émile Benoît Matisse ; (31 Dec 1869 – 3 Nov 1954) was a French visual artist, known for both his use of colour and his fluid and original draughtsmanship. He was a draughtsman, printmaker, and sculptor, but is known primarily as a painter.

'Gramophone,' (1930) is a work in which the everyday and the prosaic are particularly emphasised and underlines Rudolf Dischinger's solid draughtsmanship.

Between the illustrations and the writing - if I remember right, the text was all written in verse, these annuals were incredible. But Bestall’s detail and draughtsmanship was just second to none. Thanks for sharing

'Young Woman Seated.' (1910) Writing about William Orpen's draughtsmanship, a critic of The Art News commented: 'his drawings are remarkable not only for their delicacy of handling, but for the loving care with which the pencil has revelled in beauty of form.'

I have this with all the really good size artists who overwhelmingly favor the cruel and gory. The art appreciator in me wants to go 😀😲 at the draughtsmanship, color, composition, etc. but the softie is going 😰🤢

The OP is like a cross between Ben Garrison and a fascist Jules Feiffer. A cartoonist peddling deranged garbage but with slightly better draughtsmanship than most of them

[15] William Mulready (1786-1863) was a Clare man who was brought up in London. His genre scenes focus on romantic & childhood subjects. His draughtsmanship was such that he was known as the English Michelangelo. His experience of racism gave his work a uniquely empathetic form

I found 'Mary and her Parents Riding' after I'd seen these sketches from 1912. I haven't found the final painting, but I think the draughtsmanship on the is divine.

and if we ARE talking about commercial art, then it’s also bizarre to think that worth as a commercial visual artist, of any kind, starts & ends with traditional draughtsmanship (drawing things which look ‘real’). many, many successful commercial artists are not ‘good at drawing’

Davis is one of the most complete artists to ever draw comics. There's no major flaws in any aspect of the work: draughtsmanship, perspective, dynamics, detail, emotion, anatomy. He can do anything.

Was thinking the same, haven’t seen a modified set square in many years. Although I was a bit of purist myself, never liked messing with my drawing equipment. But cheered up to see evidence in the wild of proper draughtsmanship!

He was a great artist, his draughtsmanship and understanding of colour were sublime.

Isn’t this wonderful draughtsmanship?

Thematically, not exactly Homeric, but perhaps an ode to the Age.

Perhaps.

Reminds me of the story told of Giotto’s circle.

Pathways Uncovered: David Lynch Remembered

David Lynch has been nothing short of a guide to me over the last 40 years. So this short tribute piece is more about art – or map making/draughtsmanship as I see it – than it is about direction.

Sometimes art, sometimes draughtsmanship and sometimes image editing but I love every minute of it
I was originally trained as a draughtman

I’ve spent my morning watching AI short films, and every one has been rubbish. Then I had a look at an old clip from Brothers Quay. I’m here to tell you, sophisticated tools and draughtsmanship are not what makes a thing art. youtu.be/nW3dW4yMLfE?...
