Fab 4 and Iris in Ink

Drawings drawn for fun, drawings drawn with paintings in mind, lots of life has happened, blogs are still nice. 

 Sometimes it's nice to touch base with the fab 4.

One day I'd like to do painting with pop stars in that don't seem like embarrassing fan art.... an intriguing challenge.

 

Bob's Dental Polygons

I had done some very quick sketches of Bob for my portrait, then i took the idiosyncrasies of the quick sketches and made some Round Bobs. His face is hexagonal or something. I always reckoned Bob's dad has octagonal eyes. These men are constructed of many sided regular polygons.





I drew Bob from life while he was watching Mythbusters or some old man programme. No! Actually it was a repeat of Small Talk with Ronnie Corbett.




Here's Bob being willowy with a more protuberent schnozz.





Bob likes colour coordinating his bike shoes with his bikes. (A cat trod on this one with its mud paws of doom.)

Cyclops Blondes with Beards

I was playing with 80s space cyclopses and toying idly with notions of 80s space paintings. But unlike Picasso I procrastinated and did effeminate formless scribbles instead of macho fertility daubs.





I thought Bob might be a good person to start learning. He has a big wide giant's face.











Space Monkey Cyclops?





The beards still feature.





But I have been looking at ladies and seeing what they'd look like with beards.

The polite expensive doll-like classical singer Katherine Jenkins who is my contemporary...











Those were my first go. Then they got a bit richer... She's singing her way to beard growth...





(I think that's the best drawing on this blog...)

But despite that, crowds still gather to watch lumpyspine wrestle lobsterhead.
