Drawing

Mug Punter #3

At last another member has joined the Punters Club.  It good to see that someone so esteemed and well respected within Catholic circles has found the time to be nominated.  Then again we all can’t be going around looking for the long-lost fruits of our loin, instead his strong religious convictions and values ideally position him to take control of the nation’s health policy.  A grand welcome to the Club, your enigmaticness!

Additional notes:  I’ve always been fascinated by the fez, so no surprise that I’d eventually do a drawing of one - I think it fits MP#3 very well.  I’m quite pleased with the tassels. This guy’s got an interesting face including a crooked nose, dominant ears, unusual mouth....perhaps all that amateur boxing MP#3 undertook in his youth took its toll. I struggled getting a reasonable likeness first time round and eventually found the problem was his left eye (the right eye from the viewer’s point of view).  I originally had it too narrow and the upper lid at the wrong angle.  Still it’s all come together....and yes we really do have a betting ticket like that here.
