Larger than Life and Full of Details
I came across artist, Charlotte Mann, while looking for examples of very detailed wall drawings. She's a London based artist with a background in fashion, who made the shift to designing murals in 2006 when she created the back drop for Peter Jensen's Spring/Summer 2007 show.
As you can see, each hand drawn back drop, using black markers, is filled with details. Every mark is thought out, whether it's the image on a postcard or cross-hatching to create shadow. Even with all the intricacies, the artist still never loses a sense of spontaneity and reportage drawing in her work. I don't know how she begins her process...does she make small sketches beforehand on paper?...or maybe she just starts on the left and works her way across the room!
Regardless of her process, the result is beautiful and a true work of art.
