Hugh Laurie

I was going to try and paint Hugh and I thought I had better try and sketch him first. Well I used canvas printed paper - why, I still dont know a brain malfunction on my behalf. The picture is very grainy due to his hiccup, but all a learning curve I guess!

The medium suits the man

"Dr. House" is "a little grainy" himself so it's probably very appropriate. Anyway, great likeness!

i agree with kellie the texture changes the whole piece as opposed to using a smooth paper

Artist Reply: so its was worth the mistake then LOL! Thank you for looking Angela

I like the effect you've got with this paper actually Fiona! Adds a certain 'je ne sais quoi' to it, if you'll 'scuse my french, lol.

Artist Reply: not good a french, studied it one year at high school and got top marks for illistrating my workbook and failed in the french - I sounded Chinese LOL! Thanks for looking Kellie

very nice!

Kathryn Lewis 23 May 2008

Thank you for the comments on my work! Actually, yes you are right not the best to work on in pencil. But it is interesting how the texture gives a great effect on the fabric of his suit! This is a great sketch and you definitely have a likeness there. If you bought his cheek in a little just above his hand it would show off the cheekbone more and his slender face? He looks just a little too plump at the mo in that spot. The other cheek is more gaunt and just right! Now ..go on have a go at painting him! :)

Artist Reply: BINGO thank you for pointing out what I could not see:) I'm not gonna paint him, so much has been going on the last 6 mths I havent put paint to paper yet! Cheers
Artist Reply: I fixed his cheek up thank you Kathryn, cant download it though
