Superb characters Lew the third down looks like Starmer with his bewildered look at times . Sorry to bring politics into your posting

Thank you Petra and Dixie. The bottom left is intended to be Keir Starmer, Dixie. Not great, but I'm glad you also think he sometimes has a bewildered look, or 'stunned' as I see it...as I said in my description.

Great expressions and more wonderful characters.

Love your people sketches Lewis, such great expressions.

Posted by Sandra Kennedy on Sun 16 Jun 07:48:39

Instantly recognised the slightly stunned man. Bottom right definitely says 'puzzled, doubtful, worried' to me.

Great characters Lewis and I would say you've definitely caught the Starmer look.

Brilliant again! I agree, Lewis, depends on the context as to how one interprets the expression

Puzzled, doubtful, worried....he's guilty of something.. brilliant. (-:

A superb collection of characters and expressions Lewis

Expressions are superb and the sketches are brilliant 😊

Excellent expressions, brilliantly delivered Lewis.

Lewis, your ability to capture expressions is exceptional and although I'm sure it's not, you make it look easy. Wonderful drawings! Thank you for posting.

Four great caricatures. I’m sure they are all standing for election and like many, I couldn’t choose which one!

Great characters Lewis. I recognised Keir Starmer straight away so a great job on that! How about having a go at Farage? He has a very expressive face.

Posted by David Williams on Sun 16 Jun 10:55:59

Thanks to all for your encouraging comments. Farage, David?? I might well have a go...but perhaps I should issue a warning before posting it.

You've nailed them all Lewis but that sneer is priceless!

Posted by Russell Edwards on Sun 16 Jun 15:15:44

I recognised Starmer immediately. I am now waiting for the rest of the muppets……

Super, but Roll on the 5th of July

Great characters Lew. I recognise them!

Marvelous observations Lewis as always.

Posted by Chris Scott on Sun 16 Jun 19:20:06

I love these - specially "sneer". I was wondering if the green hair might be symbolic? You've done a good job with Keir Starmer - who usually looks slightly stunned!!

Posted by Bobbie Matulja on Mon 17 Jun 09:11:30

You're a great people watcher Lewis, those expressions are priceless.

Posted by Val Kenyon on Mon 17 Jun 10:24:47

More fab character's Lew. Ido hope you are going to do some election hopefulls.

Posted by Sylvia Evans on Mon 17 Jun 13:20:16

As always superb artwork, Lewis. The one bottom left reminds me of Keir Starmer.

Posted by Carol Jones on Mon 17 Jun 17:38:22

Wonderful characters. Captured perfectly. Would love to see your Farage!

Coloured pencil drawings, grouped in Photoshop...at the last minute I added coloured backgrounds. Bottom left is a stab at Keir Starmer..not great, sometimes I see a slightly stunned look, as if he can't believe what's happening. I like doing expressions, often the same expression can serve many purposes...as in bottom right pic...it depends what else is happening in the pic.
