These are copious drawings of figures by Khalil Ibrahim using the fat Montel pen grasped by his left hand, and which had filled innumerable sketchbooks. Such was his telepathy that such scenes just appeared like magic on the paper, without having to refer to any real scene in front. He can be in the market, at home, in a teh-tarik stall chatting with artist friends, or on the bus on a long journey. Therein lay the strengths of Khalil’s figures, male or female, that he could start with any part of the anatomy and find the same high level of accomplishments. Often too, a horizontal bar either full or truncated, on top or at the bottom, acts as a stabilizing plank to the ‘floating’ figures.
