    Bro! It's the weirdest feeling! I have an intense feeling of progress and accomplishment with these drawings, but also still see how much further there is to go before I'd be truly happy with them, if that's ever really possible.
    Anyways, it's just kind of fun, for something I've been putting off for so long.

    Hi Peter, I've seen everyone one of your videos and this is high up on my favourites list. I love your drawing style and your immensely imaginative and impressive abstract islands of images. I love this video so much because you're also clearly great at drawing portraits and the history lesson is fascinating, especially with lesser known or somewhat obscure characters. I'd love it if this were a whole category of your videos going forward, portraits and history lessons. I'll be happily tuning in anyway, whatever you draw! Peace to ya.

  • @mjpete27
    @mjpete27 29 дней назад +1

    Hullo Peter, I loved this video! Your doing great! Portraiture either in photography, painting or drawing getting the likeness is the true key to success! You can even exaggerate features, yet if you get that essence of the person people will say "Oh You nailed it!" Getting the person to leap off of the surface of the portrait is what most artists have striven for since we began creating a likenesses of people! I often wonder how representational the sculptures of Cesar and other powerful leaders actually are/were. When getting a good likeness might get your head chopped off, just how accurate were some paintings or sculptures made? The advent of the photography process was a true limitation to some leaders in their propaganda machines! Some used these "limitations" to their advantage, Have you noticed how Hitler was mostly shot in films from a low angle making him look to be a towering figure? Even the films of the Olympics where he appears to be shot from above he looks so much taller than he was in actuality? Props and foreshortening so many "tricks" to fool the eye of the camera! keep creating and Please keep sharing your journey with us, Thanks Peter.

    I wonder if the Henry Fawcett painting had a little early photoshop going on! iirc you could paint out wrinkles or spots on the negative so that the developed photos would be essentially airbrushed, which must look much weirder when you're not expecting it. That, and I think the small round, downturned sunglasses are just genuinely an unsettling shape, like buttons for eyes.

My son is Robert Spencer, and if you google that name, you will find a Wikipedia article about some dude back in the day, a British noble of some kind. But my dad didn't have Horatio anywhere, and Walpole is not a family name. Still, a very cool name indeed.
