Neil Young
Dear oh dear. After the successes of Duane and Big Sam, I felt confident enough to have a go at this style of drawing on watercolour paper and...
Duane Allman & Sam Allardyce
I'm going to try out something new this morning. I'm going to start with a Charles Reid style contour drawing. He recommends starting from the...
Cathy Jean
Back to the inktense pencils and figure drawing. All these different artistic styles and media are like spinning plates and if I don't keep...
Annie Mac
Portrait Artist Of The Week is back. This is supposed to be Radio 1 DJ Annie Mac. Believe it or not, I actually knew who this was - there used to...
Led Zeppelin
And here's the complete Led Zep collection. The four drawings are all in different styles but work well as a set. Four different colour...
John Paul Jones
And here he is at last, John Paul Jones. The only bassist to have ever given me any trouble (Geddy Lee, Jimbo and Roy are three of my greatest...
Robert Plant
Next up in the Led Zep collection is Robert Plant. Those curls were always going to make this a difficult job but I don't think this came out too...
John Bonham
Next up in the Led Zep collection is the late John Bonham. He's going to look like the odd one out in this collection, being drawn in his heyday...
Jimmy Page
Before I get back to the paints, some portraits with markers. And after the Rush collection turned out so well, I thought I'd go slightly more...
The Rush Collection
And here's the complete set together. It may even surpass the chess player set that I thought was my opus magnus. It's up for sale.
Alex Lifeson
And here's Alex Lifeson, the third and final member of Rush. It's not the greatest likeness and the left hand and guitar aren't great but it fits...
Neil Peart
Next up in either the Rush collection or supergroup collection is the late Neil Peart, one of the greatest drummers of all time and an amazing...
Geddy Lee
Time for another set of marker portraits. I've done chess, physics and westerns, so it's time to start on another passion: music. This is Geddy...
The Happiest Days Of Our Lives
Today's painting is dedicated to the recently departed Sir Alan Parker, who directed (as well as many other films) The Wall, a film featuring all...
Will Young
This week's model on Portrait Artist Of The Week was Will Young. Look, I'll keep this short. This is terrible. I have trouble with well kept...
Mount Rushmore
Now this is more like it! A painting on an experimental surface that worked. The faces were all torn out of the Mail On Sunday dated 11 August...
Hotel California
After Free Bird and Comfortably Numb, I thought I'd have a go at another concert closer. Believe it or not, I was wanting to make this a realistic...
Comfortably Numb
A fourth consecutive painting named after a song title. There's a clip on YouTube of David Gilmour playing a clip of Purple Rain in the middle of...
