About this artwork
I aimed to create a vibrant, emotive piece. As a realism artist, I take inspiration from photography techniques and try to recreate them in my artwork. Soft gel lighting is bright and beautiful, and I have been very much inspired by it lately. This piece was drawn with Copic coloured inks as a base layer, then gradually crosshatched on top to create a smooth, realistic tone.

Dean Spinks is a draftsman based in Australia whose works have been exhibited nationally. Fascinated by the human face, his portraiture explores the symmetry and expressions of the face while also conveying the story of his subject.
