PiRDessins
Realism and precision with my pencils.
Biography
I was born on November 15, 1962 and I draw under the name of π Rdessins .
I am an amateur designer living in Hotton in the Belgian Ardennes.
I started drawing in 2019 to pass my retirement time.
I don't have an academic background, but I've watched a lot of professional draftsman's work and browsed drawing sites on the internet. Determination and passion do the rest.
I seek realism and precision in my work. I do most of my drawings with colored pencils. My main themes are heritage, nature and antiques, but I'm also drawn to anything beautiful.
To date I have made more than 200 drawings and my technique has evolved a lot, always in search of realism.
I took part in numerous exhibitions in my region (Liège, Durbuy, etc.) and in international competitions.
My drawings are sold all over Europe (Spain, Italy, Portugal, Germany, Malta,…). I also make drawings on request from a photo.
