Description Russell Brand... who you're probably only likely to know of if your face resides in the UK...

... If this doesn't look much like him, then blame the fact that I didn't copy any part of this from any one image in order to avoid copyright breakage!

It's for my version of a Radio Times article.

Indian ink (mental note to self - do not use again) and coffee (for the "age spots" on the paper)

I adore Russell Brand. I would so hump his leg, like, right now.

He wore an outfit almost identical to this to the VMAs this year. I only tune into that for him...My friend and I have been big fans of his for a while, but no one knows who he is because we're American. :/

This is just simply amazing. I love the idea to use coffee for age spots. I would have never come up with something like that. Bravo!

Hee hee, thankyou.

It's not my idea though. It's a technique that professional art plaguarists (or whatever you call people who make fakes of famous works of art) use to make a drawing/sketch look as if it's really old.

Haha, I must be one of the three Australian people who know about Russell Brand XD

Anyway, this is really awesome. I love your style. Your lines here are really nice, especially on the hands and face. It really looks like him, while remaining in your own style- so wow! And the anatomy and pose are amazical, to say the least. I wish I could advanced critique you, but I'm not talented enough basically, this is great!

VIVA LA REVOLUTION!

invent-a-shell In reply to Jed-dada [2007-06-15 23:06:16 +0000 UTC]

For this piece, yes it was. The benefit of it is mainly that the finished piece is water resistant... the main downside is that if you do a wash that includes too much ink then it's hard to draw/paint over it cos the ink can't seep into the paper. It's best to do the lines first and the washes later.

It is most lovely! Even though I hate Mister Brand because he's possibly the most annoying man alive and has hair I want to cut off and burn, since it contains the devil.

but YEAH! It is a sexy drawing. I like the action!

Russell Brand is the anti-sex. Just the thought of him can actually make me feel frigid.

What is happening to you is MADNESS! >_<
