Pencil drawings by Natasha Kinaru
Born 6 March 1993 in Voronezh, Russia, Natasha Kinaru (Natalia Miley) is a beautiful young artist. 21-year-old Natasha has created a series of pencil and pastel drawings of celebrities. And they are so realistic that the viewrs can easily confuse them with a good retouch of a photo. Natasha is often asked how the idea to draw faces of famous people came to her. According to the girl, the main idea was improving the skill on drawing faces. Her teacher for the visual arts has always insisted on the perfect picture performance. And what else can manifest the quality, if not a complete similarity with a recognizable figure? If you are even the slightest deviation from the original, people will notice it. So Natasha has checked herself.
“People, so different, beautiful, interesting, mysterious, bright and talented inspire me. Drawing allows me to see them closer, try to guess the character, to convey mood, emotion. If it works – a portrait alive, looking at it you can see the spark in his eyes and painted soul of the artist”.
Natasha Kinaru doesn’t look for fame, but everyone can get advice and chat with her directly. Drawings are created by painstaking drawing layers. Using pencils of different softness, Natasha creates tones, then draws the small details, makes the background shading and aligns the last layer.
The characters look so alive that fans of Kinaru recognize: smiling eyes of a celebrity are so penetrating, those eyes scare. But for the master herself, they can only be confusing.
By the way, on her own website comments sometimes knocks down with their frankness. People can not resist the emotional evaluations. And critics believe that she is not an artist. Envy, not otherwise.
