It was a real pleasure to draw a caricature of a real Town Crier – Anthony Church at Serpentine Green shopping centre in Peterborough during Christmas festivities there.

I love to draw those who have lived a while, not only do they sit (usually) very still but their faces seem to give a hint of a long life lived. This man has a strong angular head, leonine hair. he sat so well I couldn`t miss!

Same young man, two different approaches.

Here`s a double colour pastel portrait of 2 good-looking brothers who could be snapped up for a boy band in a few years time. I went a bit wild with their hair.
