El petó de la mort (The Kiss of Death)

September 2024

A drawing of a statue called El petó de la mort (catalan) or translated: The Kiss of Death that can be found on the Poblenou cemetery in Barcelona (wikipedia).

I saw a photo of this status coming by and I immediately knew that I had to draw this statue. It's a wonderful and detailed statue with gorgeous shadows. The statue gives me both a lugubrious and tender feeling, it's just in the way you look at it.

This drawing is done on A3 paper size (my first drawing in this size) because I didn't want to loose any details. I can still watch it for a long time, it keeps attractig my attention for some reason.

For this drawing I used graphite powder, graphite pencils and charcoal pencils.

A3 paper size.
