Emboldened by Mr Wadsworth's gallery, trying some crayon this time

Multi-talented, Nick.

Excellent pic, Nick.

Mark Wadsworth said...

Except for the fact that I don't recognise the person, that's me totally humiliated in the art stakes.

Possibly double-humiliated if everybody else recognises him.

double Mark.

Woody Finch said...

Superb picture, more please!

Nick Drew said...

*coughs modestly* well thanks folks, perhaps we'll line up some more

Mark - for someone whose first foray was last week (!!) you needn't be getting all crushed

try some really ugly ones, the pencil can let rip more and let's face it we're spoiled for choice

I'm impressed again. Despite having spent the last half of the '90s getting bladdered in the company of YBAs and Turner shortlistees, I can't draw for toffees.

Our Polish art master, Mr Krajewski, used to demand 'What is all dis shmellink, boy?' at my hopeless attempts to improve a charcoal still life by smearing the thing with my finger to blur my complete inability to render proportion and perspective. And I can't play the guitar, either.

Mark Wadsworth said...

I give in. Is it Harvey Keitel?

Nick Drew said...

OK Mark, rising to the bait, I used this photo (+ a bit of licence)

Mr R - seeing as how you are strong in the 3-D visualisation department, I guarantee I could teach you how to make good representational drawings in a single session

(the guitar may take longer, EK's the man for that)

Mickey Rourke?

Nick Drew said...

I think I preferred you when you were humiliated ...
