Portraits of Jan
Jan
has many artistic friends and so he occasionally ends up as the subject.
Here are a selection of his favourite portraits.
Sketching on the Tube
Some
people like to read books and newspapers or listen to their iPods to
entertain themselves whist travelling on the London Underground -
Jan takes the opportunity to practice his drawing. He takes small sketch
books with him and captures the faces and expressions of the other passengers.
Many of the sketches were drawn on the way from Hammersmith to Whitechapel as
Jan travels from his studio to his publisher.
Posters
In
the early days of his career Jan designed posters for a living. These
days he still finds time to design the occasional poster.
Jan's Life Drawings
Jan
has been drawing from life since he was fourteen. The difference now is
that he does it with a computer. Jan draws these images of live models
in Photoshop on his Mac, using a Wacom graphics tablet.
Each pose lasts from two to twenty minutes
and the drawing has to be completed in this time, without subsequent digital
manipulation.
