Maggie Toole, Circulism, colored pencil portraiture

Maggie Toole
Circulism
Using colored pencils, I draw no lines at all...only varied, overlapped and intertwined circles. Building seemingly transparent layers, incorporating all color.

As in pointillism, the distant viewer's eye fuses these into realistic shades of human flesh, hair and life.

  1. Nice technique, the effect pulls the viewer into the piece.

  2. This is a cool technique. The circular strokes add a nice "texture" to the drawing as well.
