Work in Progress - Sherlock by Lewis Cooper

Comments

Amazing how you construct and build your remarkable characters Lewis. Slow or not these days. Well worth the wait for us all.

Looking very good so far Lewis

It is fascinating to see the way you work. The main figure looks essentially complete, bar colour washes, yet the background is minimal. If Sherlock is anything to go by, the finished work will be worth the wait.

Thank you Chris, Heather and Tony. Tony…the Sherlock figure is the main part. I like to be reasonably happy with him before I do the rest…if not, I’d start again.

A strong powerful character Lew, the detailing of the face is amazing

This is going to be a superb picture when finished, great work Lew.

So interesting to see how you build a picture- Sherlock looks so good. Will be watching to see the final picture with background in.

That's just how I imagine him! Brilliant work Lewis!

A wonderful start, Lewis - such a strong characterful face!

An exciting start Lewis. Looking forward to seeing it finished.

Fantastic as it is Lewis but looking forward to see it develop even further.

Excellent Lewis, looking forward to seeing it finished.

Pen and soluble coloured pencil underpainting. Baker Street and people to be drawn in background, then colour washes to be applied. Quite large pic...60 x 50 cm. I'm so slow these days it'll take a while.

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.
