Balloon Dog Graphite Study

This original graphite drawing is a sculptural study of a balloon dog, exploring form, reflection, and surface through careful observation and tonal control. Rendered entirely in graphite, the drawing focuses on the exaggerated curves, inflated volume, and glossy highlights that give the object its playful yet imposing presence.

By stripping the subject of colour and scale, the drawing shifts attention to structure and light. The familiar balloon form becomes almost architectural, balancing humour with weight and solidity. Subtle shifts in tone suggest a reflective surface, while soft edges maintain a sense of air and impermanence.

Created as a one-of-a-kind studio piece, this A4 original drawing reflects an interest in contemporary objects, pop-cultural references, and the way drawing can reinterpret three-dimensional forms through patience and restraint.
