Famous Faces – Sub-Series
A while ago, I received a famous face suggestion on this blog’s Facebook page for actor Colin Firth.
A well-known actor is an endless character sketch. At first, I planned to shoot the moon. Sketch Firth as himself, as King George in the King’s Speech, as Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice, as Cedric Brown in Nanny McPhee, and a few others… then follow the same plan for other actors/actresses and create a whole sub-series out of it… I got as far as King George VI (the drawing below), and realized how much time it was taking. A truly portraitionary post has been long overdue. :-) Will post more as they are finished. — Graphite on paper:
If I continue this ‘sub-series’ I’d like to ask for your input.. Who would you like to see next?
