Roy Lichtenstein drawings

Roy Lichtenstein’s drawings reveal the foundation of his distinctive Pop Art style, showcasing his process of refining imagery before translating it into paintings, prints and sculptures. Working primarily with graphite, ink and marker, he produced preparatory sketches that explored composition, line and shading. Many of these drawings served as blueprints for his larger works, capturing his signature Ben-Day dots, bold outlines and comic book-inspired figures in their rawest form. While often overlooked in favour of his paintings, Lichtenstein’s drawings demonstrate his mastery of line and his ability to distill complex imagery into graphic simplicity.
