18.2.06 || portrait spree
some fan art on the boosh forum inspired me to try a sketch of hippy-naboo on thursday. the more-or-less successful outcome of it then drove me into a hyper portrait spree, sketching any photos i could find, and i had to force myself to stop at half two in the morning. i realised that the secret to doing portraits is not to do what art teaches you - drawing the shape of the face, and then trying to work out the proportions of the features. is it 2:1? 5:2? bugger that and just work up from the jaw. if only the ability had lasted, but alas it was washed away with the remnants of breakfast. anyhoo, here are the results: the original hippy-naboo, a lopsided funk-howard, the dublin bushman and lloyd with a sprig of lloyd hair.





there are also a couple of pencil ones which don't scan.
