 CirculismCirculism is a technique used by many artists to achieve realistic skin texture in drawings. The faces of people are not perfect, and to portray them realistically, they should not be depicted as perfectly smooth. The technique was invented by Maggie Toole in 1992. It actually originated from a game - can I make a complete drawing from start to finish with just one mark - and that mark was a little circle... In 1996, an article about this technique was published in "The Artist's Magazine." From that moment on, Circulism became a well-known term and, especially, took on a life of its own. |
 I would like to make a drawing in colored pencil of some of my shells. I try out different compositions for this. To do so, I place them on a white sheet of paper so I can see the shadows well. I try several compositions and finally choose a triangular composition. |
