Robert Weaver - Drawing

I am in love with the baseball series by Robert Weaver. Drawn from life, the way Weaver captures action and character is beautiful. They appear to be drawn rather quickly in pencil, with wobbly lines and squiggles and marks and repetition of lines, but despite their messy and expressive nature, no line seems to be in the wrong place. Even when he has evidently re-drawn certain limbs or features to get a more correct form, the original lines add so much character and energy to the drawings; they are all meant to be there. The variety of line weights, mark making and areas of texture contrasting with strong lines creates such exciting and dynamic images, very organic and human. In this variety, form and movement are built up documenting the energy of the players as well as the atmosphere of the scene. This is presented as the most important part of the drawings, over detail and what could be considered as anatomically correct depictions. I think where the players arms are too big, or where their hands aren't quite right or where their features are a bit skewed are the best bits, that is where the beauty and the charm lives. Without that quality the drawings would be boring and stale and lifeless.
It refreshing to see such expressive and loose drawings so well executed and full of life. I would love to get to the stage of creating such lovely images with such energy and expression. In terms of creating portraits and human forms it works so perfectly, representing a very human and characterful interpretation of someone; especially when they are moving.
