Mask drawings - A3 sketchbook.

Like them all Lew , the plague masked figure is my favourite. Looks like a chap in the shop the other day had a very big nose and a mask , I’m sure everyone had a look .

Excellent as always Lewis

Like the plague mask - interesting to know they were real and how they were used.

Great range of masks, yes, the plague mask was in a class of its own!

Very spooky characters.

A splendid mix of whimsy and reality. The plague doctor shows there is a serious side to your art too.

The patients must have been terrified, great drawings Lewis.

just confirms that nothing is new in the world - current masks not quite as intricate - but then again - we have mass (k) production these days. Another nice one Lewis.

Fascinating range of masks, Lewis, especially the plague mask - very strange-looking... you've sketched them all very well.

Interesting facts about the plague mask Lewis but not sure I would want to be confronted by one when feeling rather ill! Great drawings as always.

Thanks to all for having a look and your great comments. Yes the plague mask is stranger than fiction...stuffed with burning herbs...you couldn't make it up.

Superb drawings Lewis, love the 'plague mask' particularly, I seem to think the term 'quack' for a doctor derives from this mask.

That plague mask is super. Hard to believe it is factually correct ! Excellent.

Fabulous work Lewis. Great masks and great drawings 🙂

All wonderful but especially the plague mask Lewis.

Great characters. Interesting to read about the plague mask.

Wonderful plague mask Lewis. I must get one! The Venetian one is very pretty, but not very effective. I expect you will be wearing the other two on the beach if you get there this year, with a matching one on your head!

Thanks again for your comments. That's an interesting notion Russell...quacks...I'll have to look that up. Linda it'll snow in the Sahara before you find me on the beach.

Great work Lewis. Your drawings are so detailed and intricate. Many decades ago I did a project on ancient ceremonial masks, the reasons they were shaped and designed as they were - your works got me thinking about those.

Beautifully done as always, Lewis - and very thought provoking. No one’s painted a gas mask yet.

Like all of them Lewis, so brilliantly drawn
