Ghost like Charcoal Sketches

00-gorillabrigade-Ghost-Sketches-www-designstack-co
Charcoal drawings that almost look like ghosts.
This artist goes by the name gorillabrigade (would love to know the inspiration for that name), doesn't say much about themselves so I will focus back on their art.

Their WIP like (work in progress) quality, coupled with the light touch this artist is able to give their portraits, really reminds me of a ghostly apparition.

That is not the only alluring quality, that keeps me transfixed on each drawing for what seems like ages.  The subtle quiet expressions, that really pack a lot of intensity.  The analogy that comes to mind is a shouting whisper.  I know both are oxymorons; that said, it's the only way I can think expressing the link between the drawing style and the power of the emotions that they seem to radiate.

I really hope you can see the meaning of my words reflected in these portraits, making my thoughts clear, when you go through the page.

    Each piece in itself dark and personal. Masterful prestidigitation.
