Eric Morecambe Portrait

Eric Morecambe, a giant of British comedy. I remember watching the Morecambe and Wise Christmas Special every year. Had Eric not died of a heart attack he would have been 80 years old today. Portrait drawn using the front cover of Eric's biography 'Life's not Hollywood, it's Cricklewood', written by his son Gary, as reference. 4H - 6B graphite pencils on A3 Bristol board.

Fabulous work.Fantastic shading and you have definitely captured his personality in this portrait. A difficult subject I think, especially with the glasses and pipe, love your shadowing. Awesome work from a talented artist! Jo Woolley:)
