Monument Zero by M. R. Kessell

Here you will find my latest series of pencil illustrations, inspired by stone sculpture, some are almost primitive, some abstract. Above you can see the first in this series, I call it “Monument Zero.” It is a roughly human shape, with bowed head and an arch-like body. Dramatic shadows blanket the left side, the front of the figure, hiding any features of the face.

This is an ongoing drawing series, stay tuned for more.
