I work in the medium of graphite,white charcoal, tortillon, and eraser. My subjects tend to be women of different cultures and statuses since all women are works of art in their own unique way. My passion is portraits and figurative drawings.

As such to show passion I don't go for the ultrarealistic fine pencil work but rather my compositions utilize lots of lights and darks and how one plays off the other.

Old studies of the classical nude can be seen at http://www.livemodelbooks.com/artists/torrisi/stevetorrisi.htm.
