A gallery of inspiring figurative artists, whom I often reference in my classes as well as my own work. This list is by no means exhaustive, but it is an enlightening compilation to start with. These are all figurative artists who have (or had) a strong drawing practice as a base for other work they may have done. If there are websites available for the following artists, you may visit them by clicking on the titles.
