Grotesque (after Da Vinci ?) by Fiona Phipps

Good work, Fiona! I'm writing a book on Freud and Leonardo da Vinci.

Good to look at in an addictive way!

Have been taking lessons from Lewis Fiona? Good strong pen work. A good likeness as well but I do have hair on my head.

Excellent sketch 👌

Good one Fiona. These didn't start being called cartoons until much later (cartoons being something else entirely for Leonardo.)

He's a tad ugly....but so well drawn.

A face only a mother could love. Nicely done Fiona.

Very striking Fiona, not someone you'd want to meet on a dark, foggy night!

Has someone bashed the top of his head?

Not pretty but very well drawn!

He’s a handsome devil isn’t he! Cesare, that’s great, may I ask in what context? Thank you all for you humorous observations and kind comments. Marjorie, you should see the other chap…..at least I think it’s a chap! I’m a bit worried actually, I can’t stop looking at them!

That’ a nose and a half Fiona. Wouldn’t want to meet him when it’s dark. Great caricature and such energetic drawing.

Very good caricature Fiona, reminds me of a convict in Charles Dickens. Scary but could be a pussycat really 😁

Very good Fiona.

Fiona where did you get my photo from , mind yiu you have made me look far more handsome, thanks . Love the portrait.

😂….thanks very much Carole, Carole, Denise, Paul…… really enjoy reading your comments!

I’ve seen this drawing before I believe… or more caricature I’d say. Great job with your Ackerman pen Fiona…

Great pen drawing Fiona!

There’s no end to your talent gal! Fabulous drawing,

You may have Alan…..thank you for your comment and the tip about the pen, it’s great to use. Thank you very much Sarah! Rachel, I don’t know about talent 😂 I just enjoy having a go! Thank you x Just seen your painting on the advert for the product review …..fantastic…..of course!

I can tell that you enjoyed sketching this portrait Fiona.

I did Sarah…..😂…..thank you.

A great sketch, Fiona.

Many thanks Spencer, glad you like it.

He is so ugly, it's almost beautiful. Well done, Fiona!

😂 I never thought of him in that respect Mia……thank you for your observation.

Excellent work Fiona

Thank you David, appreciate your feedback.

Well, the face, maybe, but nothing grotesque about your lines and washes, Fiona! The accents are in all the right places and the varied and lively lines really bring much vitality to the piece.

Seok thank you so much for your observations, very much appreciated.

Hi Fiona, it is a study about Freud's work on Leonardo and his assumption, that I challenge, that Leonardo was homosexual. I think Freud was wrong!

Great drawing...and enought to give you nightmares!

How interesting Cesare, good look with your investigation, and book. Isn’t it Diane! Thank you x

Wow, beautiful work!
