Figure Drawings by Matthew Padilla 

Figure drawing plays a central role in Matthew Padilla’s art practice as he has always viewed it as a necessary skill in order to paint as he wants to. There's also the academic aspect he likes — proportion, perspective, and anatomy all play a role. For Matthew the human figure is perhaps the most compelling subject matter of all. 

“When I am able to complete a figure drawing to my liking, one that really flows and captures what I want to say, I feel a sense of accomplishment because drawing the figure is rife with challenge." -- Matthew Padilla
