Portrait Studies: David Tennant

Quick Watercolor Study

I did a couple quick sketches for my class of David Tennant Thursday evening.

Here are some scans. He has an interesting head and hair shape well suited for toon form...

I was initially drawing Helen Mirren, but no one seemed to know who she was. My luck that I picked the only British actress not in a Harry Potter film...

Ink and Brush

Additional pencil studies including Tennant as a rooster...

Portrait Studies

Benedict Cumberbatch

I was showing my class Tuesday about quick studies for portraits and did these in my sketchbook for them. Great fun!

These were from class requests and let's just say Benedict Cumberbatch was suggested with much swooning.

A Little Bowie Interlude

Happy Birthday David Bowie! A quick sketch...

I have been trying to sketch a little here and there in my sketchbook as much as I can.

 This is a doodle of David Bowie. I think he looks more distinguished as he gets older.

Commissioned Portrait: Lisa's Cats

I do not often do many personal commissions but I recently did a portrait of my friend Lisa's four cats: Nigel, Elizabeth, Amadeus and Nathan. They are two pairs of litter mates as you can probably tell from the family resemblance.

I just got to meet the kitties on Friday. Very sweet. Nigel and Nathan seemed the most outgoing bit Amadeus warmed up a little at the end though. I just saw a peek of Elizabeth. I am told she is her mamma's kitty.
