A J Darby

Adrian Darby, a versatile artist with a background in art and photography, creates predominantly monochromatic portraits using graphite and charcoal. His technique revolves around strong contrasts and meticulous layering with 9B graphite sticks and high-quality Faber-Castell pencils, aiming for expressive richness on heavy-weight papers. Darby's art emanates deep emotional undertones, stemming from his past as a family therapist, capturing raw human sentiment with each stroke.
