His pencil drawings are characterized by their intricate detail and expressive quality. He often employs a mix of abstract and realist elements, creating compositions that are both thought-provoking and a visually engaging use of figurative shading and line work adding depth and texture, bringing a sense of realism to his otherwise imaginative surrealist storybook scenes.
Haskin’s drawings frequently explore themes of nature, human emotion, and the interplay between the organic and the geometric. The monochromatic nature of pencil work allows him to focus on the subtleties of form and light, resulting in pieces that are both delicate and powerful.
