Henrik Ibsen

There was one of those days, we had life-drawing and we went to Cartoon Museum in London . I can't say that I particularly enjoyed this. I rather found it quite boring. But here is what we had to do. We had to draw one of the 'cartoons' in our sketchbooks. Then remake them in our own style - this was the part I enjoyed the most.
So, this is what I chose  - exact image from museum(of course all copy rights belong to photographersdirect.com) :

Author - Olaf Gulbranson (1873 - 1958)

''Henrik Ibsen'' (picture above) ; Pen and Ink

Olaf Gulbranson was a book illustrator, painter, and costume designer as well as Norwey's leading humorous artist. In 1902 he joined the Munich based satirical magazine ''Simlicissmus'' and remained on its staff until its closure in 1944. His later style is especially prized for its pure linearity.

The Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen (1828 - 1906) revolutionised European drama in works such as '' A Doll's House'', '' Ghosts'', and '' Hedda Gabriel.''

This is how I tried to 'copy' him:

  Of course, colors are different, but I think I just got a really bad ink.

And here - how I done it in my interpretation:

Time when I did this (about few months ago) was when I descovered beautiful result combining water color and ink. Never the less, must say I was quite over-taken with life of Andy Warhole. But.. I am quite satisfied with result and happy that my obesession with Mr. Warhole is over!
