This series of Bargue-inspired eye studies focuses on breaking down the structure of the eye through strong contour work and careful angle comparison. I experimented with heavier line weight to emphasize the geometric foundation and planar construction of the form, giving the studies a more graphic and high-contrast feel.

While I enjoyed exploring bold inking, I’ve realized that thicker lines feel a bit too heavy for this type of classical eye study. Moving forward, I plan to refine the work with thinner, more controlled inking to better support the subtle structure and realism of the Bargue method.

Bargue Eye Study – Heavy Contour Exploration

An ink study emphasizing angular construction and proportion, using bold line weight to accentuate structural clarity within a classical drawing framework.Baroque Eye Studies – Bold Line Interpretation (Bargue Inspired)

A series of Bargue-inspired eye studies exploring structural reduction through assertive contour work.

This iteration emphasizes heavier line weight to reinforce angular relationships and planar construction, pushing the classical academic framework toward a more graphic, high-contrast aesthetic.

The focus of this study was precision in angle comparison while experimenting with visual impact through deliberate contour emphasis.Baroque Eye Study – Ink (Bargue Plate Inspired)

This study explores classical eye construction through the Bargue drawing method, focusing on precise angle relationships, structural simplification, and disciplined line control.

Executed in ink, the work emphasizes contour accuracy and controlled line weight to translate the geometric foundation of the plate into a clean, high-contrast finish.

The goal of this piece was to refine observational measurement and strengthen structural clarity within a traditional academic framework.
