Another charcoal by Singer Sergeant. Love his work.
A charcoal drawing from our Denise.
A pencil drawing by Franco Clun. I believe this is one is taken from one of those copyright-free photos, you see it often, and lots of drawn versions of it. Franco's is exceptional work for those of us who enjoy detailed work. (I certainly admire them.)
One of Paul's pencil sketches, and very good it is.
There are a lot of quirky drawings like this online. I like the concept, but when photographed with a real hand it means the idea only stands as a photo. I've done a few in this vein, but drawn the hand 'drawing' the picture...that way the drawing stands alone. I guess it doesn't matter. The one above is extremely well drawn.
Another of Russell's mind-blowing drawings.
The elephant. A popular subject among artists. This one by Kirsty Partridge.Edited

A couple of Gustav Klimt's drawings. The second image I've seen up close and has the most delicate pencil marks, creating superb tonal values.
