There is a species of perfect representational minimalism, in which the subject is delineated in such a way that the absences are as important as what is present, and each line in the drawing magically performs the work of seven. Such that nothing might be added or subtracted without detracting from the final production, as Vitruvius or Alberti have it.
It's a rare day that I make something to such standards, but I felt good about this drawing:
It was done with a brush marker from life in about five minutes.
