Description
Finally got something of substance to show off. This is all done in 0.5 mm lead!Who needs sketch pencils anyway?!
The title and image are meant to portray addiction and how it has many holds over a person. I won't go much deeper with it because I feel it would be better to let your mind run wild with different meanings

Simple drawing, solid, without excess of pretensions, the drawing is enough to communicate the general idea of the work, it is not seen that it has aspirations of being naturalistic, it is sculptural, firm, the color is vibrant but it is managed with balance and with enough intelligence to make it not explode within each part of the work competing individually. to recommend my favorite artists Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Frida Kahlo, Roberto Matta Gabino amaya cacho and Pablo Picasso.

I love how your work is sketchy and real at the same time. The fact that you have such a clear style and choice of subject matter is really cool.

You know they have mechanical pencils that allow you to change the lead? My .5 mm pencil goes from 3H to 2B!

This is great. I love how it was all done in .5 mm lead. I feel as if this is an accurate portrayal of how an addiction works. Certainly inspiring
