Lesson Discussion

  1. You have performed magic! With a humble pen and ink you have captured the essence of this lovely, twinkling gentleman far and beyond what we see in the photograph. My beloved late father was just such a person – dare I aspire to achieve such magic someday?

  2. Hi Matt. Thanks for this lesson. I love watching you draw and paint. I did the lesson twice. In my first effort ( using nib pen) my man looked like he had been badly beaten up. I put it on my corkboard anyway – even though he was a bit scary. I used a pen in my 2nd effort and the gentleman then looked like he had had some plastic surgery – much better but might need further operations in the future. He is now pinned on my corkboard next to his predecessor. I kept apologising to the poor man for what I was making him look like. Thanks again. I might try this lesson again sometime down the track.
