This is Tommy Remengesau, the president of Palau, yet another microcountry in the pacific ocean – I start to get the idea that the majority of the faces in this series might be leaders from these countries. I’m starting to feel rather mechanical with these portraits.. 240 is a lot, and there’s still a long … Read more
This is Aníbal Cavaco Silva, the president of Portugal This ended up really loose, and I sort of like it – there are some of the finer details that I’d like to have ajusted a little better. Talented watercolorists seem to somehow be able to make something that seems almost realist by just dabbing down … Read more
This is Giorgi Margvelashvili, the president og Georgia drawn by pencil! (When will wikipedeia start linking back?) I’ve been struggling with time recently – yet I keep painting in watercolor – so I listened to the advice of memadtwo (and many others) and decided to do this quick pencil sketch instead of a complicated watercolor. … Read more
This is Idriss Déby, the president of Chad. As some might have noticed, the last few days – or perhaps a week or so, my paintings have been a lot “quicker” than usual. I struggle to do one every day, which i really want to do – but it’s hard to assure that the quality … Read more
This is the president of the Czech Republic, Miloš Zeman! He’s part of my “Rulers of the World” series Don’t forget to come join the daily/almost daily drawer’s group on reddit /r/onedrawingdaily !
This is Trương Tấn Sang, the president og Vietnam He’s part of my “Rulers of the world” series – atleast I think that he is to be concidered as such. I can’t really figure out if the premier minister or the chief of the communist party “outranks” him – if someone has an opinion about, … Read more
This is Mohammed Ali al-Houthi the president of the provisional government of Yemen I don’t know anything about this man or about Yemen, but it would seem that the provisional government lacks support in most of the world. I don’t do these portraits out of admiration, but because they’re part of my “Rulers of the … Read more
This is Abdel Fattah el-Sisi the current president of Egypt I’m just going to throw it out there – as for all my portraits – painting a head of state of a given country does not mean that i like the guy, approve, or anything. For the most part, I don’t know enough for wanting … Read more
This is Muhammad Fuad Masum, the president of Iraq And let’s not forget that – Iraq has a real president, although the face of the murderous madman speading chaos in the reagion right now seems to appear a lot more often in the newspapers. original See the rest of my “Rulers of the World” series … Read more
This is Bujar Nishani of Albania. At lest it was suppose to be. I don’t think it turned out really well. The head is less round, his mouth is bigger and then the lines could use some stronger contrasts. Original See the rest of my “Rulers of the World” series here
