The 5 minute portrait sketch 2013

"The 5 Minute Portrait Sketch" (2013) by Alfred Freddy Krupa (1971-present) is a pencil drawing that captures the essence of a subject in a quick and gestural style. The artist, known for his speed sketches, uses loose lines and shading to emphasize the form and expression of the face, creating a sense of immediacy and spontaneity. The sketch showcases Krupa's ability to capture a likeness with minimal detail, highlighting the expressive power of line. The subject's eyes, with their defined contours, seem to hold a quiet intensity, while the loose lines and expressive shading of the mouth suggest a thoughtful or perhaps melancholic mood.
