These two portraits are studies of Richard Burton as Alexander..
I first saw this handsome man in that film, made in 1956..

Pencil on Canson Paper.. using 3 different pencils to draw this portrait..

It was not a slap dash fast job of course..
It has taken me hours to draw this portrait..

Thank you all who look at this drawing..

Note from Kerry:
Hi Lilly
These are both so very good!!! I love this pencil work, you have done a brilliant job. Love your style!

When I looked at the first drawing, I was surprised how much Richard looks like Patrick Swayze - around the eyes and the hair. What do you think?

First.. HUGE thank you friends for your kind coments etc..

And yes, he does look like Patrick , another gorgeopus man he was..

I think it was the costume and wig for the film and his youth that made him look like handsome mr Sawyzie..

cheers from,
Lilly and cats..
