The Stillness Between Thoughts is a striking graphite portrait of a young male model of Korean descent, drawn on white paper using the Russian Drawing Method. This artwork reflects the precision, structure, and tonal depth characteristic of the Russian Academic Drawing Approach, a classical technique rooted in 19th-century European ateliers.

Yana Evans applies this method with contemporary sensitivity, building the form through carefully layered hatching and sculptural light. The subject’s subtle gaze and quiet strength evoke a narrative beyond the frame, one of introspection, presence, and humanity.

Executed in graphite on fine art paper, this signed original is ideal for collectors of academic drawings, figurative studies, or fine portraiture. It is also a compelling showcase of classical drawing skills for anyone seeking commissioned works in the Russian Academic tradition.

Commission inquiries welcome. Custom pencil portrait drawings using the Russian Drawing Method are available upon request.
