This is a superb sketch, the colour shading is excellent, well done.

Great work Lewis, I love the facial expression

Your attention to detail is amazing Lew…plus his expression.

Great sketch- what a stare and what a beard!

Re recent postings on the forum...can't help but wonder if you have to sit still for an abstract portrait, though this steely eyed chap does look like a die hard traditionalist.

A superb character and beautifully drawn Lew.

Terrific Lewis

I think I have that look when I'm painting. Wonderful Lewis.

Great look of concentration Lewis.

Perfect expression!

Thanks to all for your comments.

Very good

Great characterisation Lewis.

Always the portrait artists’ dilemma. Models take a while to sink into their pose, so you can forget the first half hour. Good rendition Lewis!

Cracking portrait. I note he is left handed!!

Posted by Bob Ward on Thu 27 Jun 19:42:39

Exceptional as always Lewis.

Posted by Chris Scott on Thu 27 Jun 19:54:22

Thanks again for your comments. Yes Bob, he's left-handed. A lot of my characters are. That's because when I need a detailed hand I copy my own from a mirror...as I'm right handed that means I'm copying my left hand.

Just wonderful.

Posted by Sandra Kennedy on Fri 28 Jun 09:40:52

Very determined.

Posted by Maureen Sherman on Fri 28 Jun 12:28:43

He’s staring hard at his muse! Great facial expression!

I was looking through old sketchbooks for something to draw...saw this in a simpler, larger, but many peopled sketch and decided to have another shot at it concentrating on this fella. Dark Indigo coloured pencil.

About the Artist

Lewis Cooper

Self taught. Love drawing. Like to make pictures up, without using reference pics, often in cartoon style. I do other pictures where I do use reference. I'm knocking on a bit, born in 1940 in Greenwich, London. Retired, and loving it.
