I often like the drawings of famous artists at least as much as their paintings. I am not sure why; perhaps the roughness and the unfinished quality of the drawings appeals to me, or perhaps I have gotten sated with the paintings from 40 years of exposure. For whatever reason, I was delighted to find this huge gallery of Van Gogh's drawings, posted by the Van Gogh museum. They cover a wide range of subjects across his whole career.
I agree, I think it is because you can see the work that goes into a drawing, while a painting seems like a more finished product.
