Hello, I’m Daniel Gill and this is a col­lec­tion of my life draw­ings in pas­tel, ink and oil. Here you’ll find my mus­ings on draw­ing, paint­ing and work­ing with fig­ure mod­els as well as my notes and thoughts on art, sketches from my books and a his­tory of my work in fig­ures since about 2003.

This site is used by Georges Le Cheval­lier at the Art Insti­tute of Pitts­burgh online in his Draw­ing 101 class. Please feel free to use it as a resource to study the fig­ure, com­ment on the work, and share your options an art, the process and draw­ing in gen­eral. Also use the con­tact form to get in touch.

Some of this work is avail­able for pur­chase, includ­ing a series of sketches, at my Etsy store. Prints and cards are avail­able, check the store for details,
