Like it Mark...like it! Captures the essence of the man. Nicely proportioned too.

I find the ears are hard for me to get right on my drawings.

I'm standing to attention giving a smart military salute to this sketch. I strongly suggest others do the same.

A thoroughly good effort Mark!

You're too kind to him Mark.

JJ, ta, do you put your drawings on your 'blog? More to the point, did the spreadsheet I emailed you make sense?

Paul, he did come out a bit a younger and less decrepit than in real life, that is true.

I was going to Mark, sadly my computer crashed and I lost several of my recent efforts done with Serif drawplus. Most of my illustrations and pics have been done in Serif including the blog banner.

I had just finished a character called 'Biffo Bonser' a group captain, as well as a beatiful young lady with red hair. All gone.

I was going to email you about the attachment. I cannot open and access the information that you sent. It appears the format is not compatible with Windows. The message that come up is 'This file is not in a recognisable format' Excel wouldn't open the file.

I'm using Windows Home Edition.

Thanks.

"...he did come out a bit a younger and less decrepit than in real life, that is true."

But you captured the probable expression perfectly: "How many? Fecking brilliant!"
