2 drawings off the same model in pencil by the artist Eric Mellon Here we have a beautifully controlled and executed pencil drawing of two versions of one model. Eric Mellon was a master of line drawing and the ability, very necessary in artists, to know when to stop. In drawing less is more and a great deal can be said by what you leave out. Shading has provided the toning to the picture giving a two dimensional feel to the painting.
