Lew this is excellent, I have only read one Steampunk book and this is very how I viewed the characters. Excellent pen work once again .

Great painting Lew, there are some weird and fantastic paintings of steam punk. I like the way you have portrayed this gentleman and the surrounding machinery is just brilliant !!!

As always, Lewis, your drawing in this is superb. Love it!

Well, Lewis, I have to plead ignorance....steampunk? Something to do with machinery? It does sound "cool"( a word which I'm sure isn't now). You must work at some speed to get down all this great detail!

We once visited a stately home where we saw a large gathering of people dressed in steam punk gear - fascinating to see them. Nearly all wore goggles, some with cogwheels on! Love your painting.

If you don't know, Steampunk is a Sci-Fi genre where science hasn't advanced beyond steam power. Weird machines, and weird vaguely Victorian style clothing. A mock, made-up, portrait done in coloured pencils and pen. A4.

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.
