I've coloured this in since but like it better just like this.

Where's your tie officer !

I love this one , it's just so simple, almost a line drawing and in truth I spent about 4 times more on the background than the person.

It just came out right first time , a rarity for me and the likeness is spot on.

You'll have to trust me on that.

Mona Lisa should have smiled

This is one I re-did as I wasn't happy enough with a previous effort.

I'll have to put that first one up one day to compare , but anyway I was much happier with this one.

I told her that this was a coquettish look , she looked at me blankly , oh the pressure !

It's also another one that I forgot to scan ....

First Commision !

A colleague at work asked me to do a pic of his daughter and this is the result.

I was chuffed as it was the first time I'd been asked to do one for payment.

I set the price high at a pint but still haven't been paid , oh aye then I remembered I dont drink much.

I'll settle for a biscuit Chris !

Apparently the subjects 4 yr old niece recognised her off the pic so was very happy with that.

This is not a scan just a photo taken with my phone as I forgot to scan it before I delivered it, another Doh !!!

Squaddie PC

I did this about 3 months ago as part of my ongoing project for colleagues at work.

The subject is an ex Coldstream Guard now turned PC and I now have a close family member in the Coldstream Guards too, so this is a kind of tribute , sort of not quite !

The Matrix

This is my latest effort, it took about 30mins and was done after watching the movie for the first time this week.





Ash has told me for years how good these films are and so I decided to check them out.Don't know how I missed watching them when they were out as it's the kind of stuff I like sci-fi etc.





So after watching the first two films (this is a still from the second one) I decided to do a drawing and this is the ONE I did , see how I did that ?

It was done with charcoal but I then altered it on my pc by darkening the sunglasses for a better effect.

Ash

Ha, this is the first live caricature I have ever done , it's of my son Ashley Smashley and whilst i'm not particularly proud of it there is a certain likeness as no one will testify !

I blame Ash as he was more interested in watching Corrie than posing for me, ok ok and a bit of texting but it was more Corrie.
