I'm a big Dickens fan, Lewis, so I look forward to seeing your characters. Judging by your previous work, I'm sure they'll be great.

Excellent Lewis.

I bet your finished project will look great Lewis, I did a similar one with small black and white drawings of birds with just a touch of colour in a couple of them, they look very affective.😀

Thanks very much for your comments. Sylvia mentioned Uriah Heap, oddly enough I'm doing him at the moment. I've already done a couple, but I'm not sure about them...I may try again...I doubt that I'll do eight pics in a row that I'm happy with. Luckily they don't take too long.

Looking forward to this series, I'm sure they'll be awesome (no pressure there then) and nice that inspiration and ideas can be harvested from other people's work on here.

This is part of a small project I've set myself. I've got two frames that hold eight 6 x 4 inches pictures each (they are meant for photos). It's time I changed them. One will hold characters from Dickens. My palette will be most blues (cobalt and cerulean), paynes gray, a little mars brown and the merest hint of cad red light.

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.
