Sketching Ania

Updated: Nov 16

Ania is a Ukrainian artist living in Switzerland and a member of my art collective - Dare to Care.

I made this series of three linework sketches from photographs of a performance Ania delivered in Helsinki as part of our art collective's residency and exhibition at Mymala 2 Gallery.

I don't usually like drawing people wearing sunglasses, but I love how this one turned out - capturing Ania's vibrancy and force of character, even in a minimalist, monochrome style.

I made a number of portrait sketches from headshot photos of Ania, but a lot of them didn't turn out well. I had to request a different photo from her, and then made this drawing - which I am happy with!
