Here is the first drawing that I have done of him. It&#8217;s on a beautiful qulity and quite expensive A1 size paper with a nice deckel edge on all sides and a water mark which I love. It has a certain texture to t too whch I have used to my advantage in the drawing. I enjoyed the scale of this drawing, I usually like to work at 3\/4 of life size when I&#8217;m painting but drawing materials are more clumsey I find so it&#8217;s nice to work a bit bigger and there was so much detail to pack in.<br \/>\nI thought I&#8217;d draw him smiling because he is a comedian and comedy writer , an expression I rarely use but felt was relevant in this instance and I haveto say I&#8217;m really pleased with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I mentioned in an earlier post that I visited Eric Sykes at his London office in Bayswater at the tail end of last summer and spent a wonderful day with him.
