One of my favourite pastimes is drawing people. I find them endlessly diverse and challenging subjects for my sketches and enjoy drawing them the most. I usually focus on popular and recognisable people because it allows me to register my success from their levels of recognition and comments. The people I draw are people who have inspired me or interest me. This is a picture of the controversial comedian, Frankie Boyle. I personally find Frankie to be a comic genius, his stand up is simply unparalleled. However I feel that he works best when he is given a structure to work within, such as his time in 'Mock the Week' on BBC and his more controversial solo shows are not as good. Frankie's sense of humor is often, brilliant, disgusting, revolting, disturbing, shocking and he is constantly criticised by the media. Needless to say his stand up shows are a complete sell out. Again, pen, again construction lines left in with extensive use of crosshatching.
