A stunner Lewis

There are some great characters in this, an all drawn beautifully.

Some fearful characters in this Lewis. I like the way you’ve positioned the man with the gun reaching through the others making it more menacing.

As well as Bogart, I'm thinking Sidney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, Herbert Lom and Maltese Falcons Lew. Great memories, thanks.....wonderful work.

Love the old black and white movies and this is a brilliant characterisation of those film stars from our youth. Wonderful work Lewis.

Fun sketch prompted by watching a Humphrey Bogart Movie. Hard-bitten detectives, private-eyes, villains and femme fatales all in glorious Black & White. Film Noir. Pen, black inktense pencil and black ink.

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.
