Like a lot of other reportage artists his illustrations are mainly line drawings, however what makes his style unique is that he leaves a lot of spaces between the lines, letting the brain fill in the gaps.

The thing I like the most about his work is his way of drawing faces and expressions- when he draws them with other little views of the mouth or face alongside the 'real' one, it looks almost holographic to me and I think it's a really cool way of drawing a range of expressions.

Joybeans is also good at capturing facial expressions, although in a different style to this work. I like reportage that focuses on people because I myself enjoy drawing people and looking at other artist's ways of drawing expressions can help me develop my own.
