Jacob Collins

Collins' figure drawing are simplistic yet very real.  He often uses subjects in the nude and usually at most a bed sheet is also incorporated or a blank wall.  His works seem more like studies rather than anything too compelling but his style is very beautiful, and it gives the audience a sense of the complete knowledge he has on the human body.  His lighting on the body is diffused giving each of his subjects a light aura around them.. They all have a calmness to them that I enjoyed looking at.  One of my favorite skills that Collins possesses is the ability to make the flesh look tangible and soft.  He is an incredibly impressive figure artist.
