Drawings of Matt Mims

Posted at 9pm on 11/30/09

Look no further than the sketchbooks of Matt Mims if you are looking for edgy drawings created through a mixture of strong and softer lines. Matt’s work demonstrates an accomplished, jarring style resulting from what is clearly a lot of practice.

Matt uses ‘mechanical pencils, regular old graphite pencils, Micron ink pens and Sharpie pens. I usually draw in the random sketchbooks and Moleskines laying about the house’.

Evidently a very proud father, he fits drawing and painting time whenever he ‘can find the time between changing diapers and cleaning up after my son.

Thanks Matt!

    These are fantastic. It’s refreshing to see such great work with a good old fashioned pencil!

    I love Matt’s work. I first came across it on flickr and have been a fan ever since. He really inspires me to draw as much as I can.

    Very good indeed, both for feel and technique. I also like the middle finger obsession.

    You’re right Michelle, it’s always good to see artists who can make a drawing looking like a finished piece of art.

    Nice to see straight-up pencil.

    A tool that gets less attention than Photoshop these days!

    Thanks for sharing.
