Description A youthful portrait of the late, great Graham Chapman, best known for being 1/6th of Monty Python.

I wanted to draw this on January 8th, which would have been Graham's 69th birthday, but it didn't happen.

Prismacolor pencils on a 5"x4" "Brass Mesh" paint color chip from Lowe's.

Wait. January 8th? That's my mum's birthday!
Sorry, slightly shocked there. It's a beautiful drawing. I love those warm colours, and him.

Ahahaha, excellent. The picture I was looking at to draw him from was from At Last the 1948 Show, so that makes sense.

hehee, thank you! I was worried he'd look too dark, since he's blond, but I think it worked out. XD

LeftWingDuck In reply to vandonovan [2010-01-17 18:21:10 +0000 UTC]

totally thinks it due to the nature of the paper.

vandonovan In reply to LeftWingDuck [2010-01-17 23:37:59 +0000 UTC]

Ahahaha, I'm not sure it's the paper, I just intentionally colored his hair darker, since that's largely how it was in my reference.

Hee, Graham! I quite like the colors, and you got his eyes so well.

Ahahahahaha, thanks. Now I feel his eyes are too far apart, but I'm glad you like them. I think they're the right shape, just in the wrong places. XD
