Twenty minute sketch.

There is a programme on Sky arts, portrait artist of the year. I don’t have Sky, but I found a photo of this week’s sitter, Judge Rinder. I decided to have a quick go with my charcoal pencil. It’s not brilliant and the definition of some of the lines is not very good. But anyway I’m posting this. I took about twenty minutes. I couldn’t make this subtle but I think I’ve got a slight resemblance. The dog isn’t good at all!

The Sky portrait artist of the year competition is on. Its not something I would do, but I did a quick forty minute sketch of the sitter, Rankin, to see how I could do. Working with a 0.5 unipin ink pen. Not too bad a likeness. I think I’ve got his nose too long and his eyes are a bit small…. But it’s good to practice.
