Angharad Neal-Williams is an illustrator and live drawer. Her practice explores drawing as a public act. Her intention is to make the process of drawing visible to an audience, as when creating in-situ, line drawings take on a new energy and life.

Angharad Neal-Williams, Café drawing one

Selected drawing from a series produced live at a café. The series captures moments and movements whilst producing in situ, and in real time. Subtle movements and small gestures are translated into line through a fast process of mark making.

Angharad Neal-Williams, Vic wears nice shoes and socks

‘Vic wears nice shoes and socks’ is a drawing taken from a series of zines I created that explore the act of looking. The pencil drawings were created to practice slow looking and recursive observational drawing in daily life. Over a period of twelve weeks, I produced a drawing a day, resulting in the production of 12 zines inspired by daily life.

Angharad Neal-Williams, Live portrait drawing

For Monash open day I completed live drawing for visitors to MADA. Each visitor could have their portrait drawn on-the-spot. As the drawing developed, visitors could see the process of creation unfold in front of them. Live drawing opened up the process of creation, ultimately making drawing a more public activity.
