After John Paul Jones came out so well a couple of weeks ago, I wanted to have another go at drawing a portrait with markers by concentrating on...
Portraits
The Sneer
Oh dear. A portrait of Zinedine Zidane in inktense pencils that went horribly wrong. The worst thing about it is the mouth. Oh and the general...
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 Vulture
Well, I think I set off with the right intentions. I wanted to do another portrait and wanted to take the easy route with a bald gentleman. I...
Annual Self Portrait 2020
I fancied another go with the inktense pencils but, rather than doing another female nude, thought I'd have a go at a self portrait. And,...
Rob Key
It's been a good summer of test cricket. I was watching it yesterday and suddenly realised that Sky cricket pundit Rob key would make a great...
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. To see the...
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 Trio
This one has been brewing for a month or so and I've now got it out of my system after buying some decent paper for pencil drawing (and possibly...
Marker Portraits Poll Results
So here are the results of my latest poll. Only a handful of surprises there. Bernardine Evaristo did better than I expected, James Coburn and...
The Magnificent Seven Collection, Framed
All framed now and ready to go in the post. Looking good, I must say. They've been given to my given to my father as a combined fathers day/77th...
Eli Wallach
Today on Portrait Artist Of The Week It was Clare Balding. I didn’t rate my chances of doing Clare justice so I've instead headed back to The...
And Introducing Horst Buchholz
And here's the last one in the set. It's Horst Buchholz as Chico. I'm not sure he's instantly recognisable unless you're looking at all seven...
Yul Brynner
One more member of the Magnificent Seven. It's Yul Brynner as Chris Adams. I would say he's the coolest of the seven but I think Britt (James...
