There's just not enough ape TV personalities nowadays...
... footballers don't count!
As an illustrator most of my time is spent drawing relatively cute and pretty pictures aimed to appease conservative publishers and appeal to a young market. Thus, my private sketchbook is a haven to unfetter my brain on paper... (If you are looking for my usual work in children's literature, check out my regular blog at http://benredlich.blogspot.com/)

Interesting Faces VII - Marty Feldman
Marty Feldman has some of the coolest eyes I've ever seen...
A comedian must feel blessed when they have such wonderful features like this.

Interesting Faces V - Peter Lorre
The incomparable Peter Lorre...
I'm not sure if I've captured the likeness 100% here. His features are slightly more subtle compared to the previous subjects, so he was a bit trickier. It's his distinctive eyes I particularly like, though I think he looks a bit too sad here. I might try him again sometime, from a different photo.

Interesting Faces IV - Daniel Emilfork
Here's another face I've always admired...
Daniel Emilfork was perfectly cast as 'Krank' the crazy scientist in the exquisite City Of Lost Children.

Interesting Faces III - Rondo Hatton
You don't get a more distinctive mug than Rondo Hatton's ...
I've never actually seen any films with him in, I've only seen photos of him in my Famous Monsters magazines. Such a great face to draw. His extreme features were the result of Acromegaly. The poor guy died from the condition in 1946 when he was 51.

Interesting Faces II
Another prune from the same ad campaign, I think...
...I went a bit Alfred E. Neuman with the eyes here. These sketches are spontaneous without any mapping out in pencil, so a few small errors are inevitable.
