Some 18-19 years ago, I worked as an illustrator for a classical music label and drew scores of drawings of composers. Bach, Brahms, Beethoven, Mahler, Stravinsky, Poulenc, Verdi, Rossini, and gobs more. I don’t think I’m that grand at portraiture and that even less of my skill at it back then; but hey, I landed the gig and got paid to get better. So I’ve gone back into my collection and have reworked some of them
Sibelius was one of the earliest assignments I had. The second and third from the left were from those days. The others were recently added.
Drawn on ledgerbook paper, composition sheets with ballpoint, fountain pen and Pitt Artist Pens.
