Research Josh Bryan Armed with only a black fineliner, Josh Bryan creates unique and distinctive portraits of famous celebrities including Johnny Deep, Amy Winehouse, Albert Einstein and Marilyn Monroe among others. He came up with a style called ‘triangulations, ’ which consists of drawing thousands of triangles of many sizes. The repetition of the abstract, geometric forms create the volume, lights, shadows, and tones that gives his portraits their powerful look. Create a study of this piece using ball point pen or fineliner. Start by lightly drawing out the face in pencil before building up the gemetric lines.
