Until doing this sketch, I’d never really thought about how tremendously unflattering Al Pacino’s hair is in this film.

“Fuckin’ Quintana, man.” John Turturro’s scene-stealing turn as the, erm, eccentric bowling pederast The Jesus was my pick to illustrate the Coen Brothers’ psychedelic, hilarious 1998 stoner noir The Big Lebowski. In an endlessly quotable film full of indelible characters, Jesus and his stoic, straitlaced partner Liam linger so long in the mind that Turturro felt compelled to revisit the character two decades later in the disappointing The Jesus Rolls. That film’s financial failure did nothing to dim the electricity of that first performance though.

This pose felt so self-possessed, and I was lucky to have such a great diagonal angle to try and capture. This was an early experiment with sanguine pencil, and with pastel paper which created this rough dappling effect.

Life drawing
Drawn from life at The Moon and Nude Clapham, March 2018.
Carla is always such a vibrant and friendly sitter, and while this piece is very rough and sketchy, I do like that it manages to catch a facial likeness, and shows the effort and dynamism that she puts in to all of her poses with the tension in the back and arm.
