I was really interested in Steven Assael's drawings because of his usage of negative space and ambiguity. All of his drawings combine the usage of shading and line drawing which makes for an interesting composition. I especially like the last drawing because it relates to what we are doing for our final project and combining multiple figures. I thought the middle drawing was particularly interesting because he doesn't depict a head so we don't know much about the figure. I think his lightness in touch is something I could definitely take a lesson from and try to apply in my own work. I normally stick to strong contrasts in my figures but Assael's gentle approach is very appealing. You can tell he takes a lot of time in getting proper proportions and it's nice to see the lines he lays out before he shades his figures.
