Drawing from the visual worlds of science and nature, the human figure, the grand tradition of American illustration, Japanese scroll paintings and woodblock prints, fantasy illustration, and great artists of Europe, Elliott’s work strikes the viewer at first with a powerful tableau and draws them in to experience the subtlety and beauty within. Beyond the pictorial impact of his work, themes personal to him such as body image, environmental preservation, and social and psychological repression weave themselves throughout his work.

Portraits anyone?

Craig Elliott

I don't do many portraits, but I have done a few.  I think I have only done a limited number of them because I like to know something of the person before I feel comfortable doing one.  I think you need to know what the person is really like to know what to draw- otherwise what are you really doing?  you don't know!  You might accidentally get it right, but you might not.  

Here are a couple drawings, one of my friends Melissa and Peter De Seve.  Melissa is a very kind energetic and very smart girl with a bright outlook on life (this drawing is meant to be more realistic).  Peter has a big heart, has a fun and nutty side (just like his characters) and a very keen eye (Peter's drawing is meant to have a bit of caricature).  I hope all of these qualities come through in my portraits!
