Sully (The Warriors)

Danny Kendall (Grange Hill)

Portrait studies of The Young Ones. Basing my studies on the 100 Heads Challenge, created by Ahmed Aldoori, but choosing my own heads to get me comfortable and consistent with my drawing. I am still trying to keep things varied to challenge myself, though.

Some drawings done at work, during lunch! We’ve all started drawing during lunch in the shop, now, it’s great!

Copied a screenshot from Men Behaving Badly, because I loved their expressions.

Some more Triggers, of very varying quality. I do like the bottom right one, just because I love his expression in that shot, judging Del from across the bar.

Doing a lot of portrait studies at the moment, just trying to get myself drawing and enjoying it. Have some more Rogers, because I refuse to stop showing him to all of you. You’re in my house. Also, a charming lady statue, who’s hair I was sadly too lazy to finish. I love hair, though, I need to get better at drawing it.

I know you should not post things immediately after you’ve done them, but I haven’t put pencil to paper in a billion years and I’m hopped up on the adrenaline. I finally gave in and did some portraits of Roger Lloyd Pack, one of him as Trigger, the other as Sidney Bagley from “Brassneck”. You don’t fully realise his thicc this man’s eyebrows were, until you draw them. He had a wonderful face for drawing. I really like the shape and darkness of his eyes and all the hollows in his face.

Trying to get back into drawing with some portrait studies. Hatching is satisfying, but painful.

I’m very pleased with this page. I think this is my most successful crosshatching  practice yet. If you’ve seen “Lost Boys: The Thirst”, you know what the vampire dentures are about.

Some portrait practice I did when I first got this sketchbook: Katherine Ross as Joanna Eberhart, in “The Stepford Wives” (1975), a self portrait from a dramatic selfie I took in the Fitzwilliam Museum (back in college when I still had long hair) and Sissy Spacek As Carrie White in “Carrie” (1976).

Happy, little Jack O Lanterns, to star the new year off! The brightness of these pumpkins were a good excuse to practice using my markers, but besides that, I just felt like drawing some.

I’m feeling a little excited about the direction my art is going in.

A little drawing I’ve made for a friend of mine. The rosary and the buckle on the child’s hat, have been painted with golden wax, but it is a little difficult to tell in these photos.

Some warmup sketches I made a long while ago. I was trying to practice a bit of crosshatching. Two Joni Mitchells and Allyson, from ArtModelTips.com.

A drawing that I left unfinished, as I messed up the inking. This is based on the idea that Bobby would have visited Dinger, after he got his initial cast. I thought it was a sweet idea.

Some male figure studies in purple pencil. References are from ArtModelTips.com and the models are Kris and Eliot.
