Nathan Bransford - The Forums

So I often distract myself from writing by drawing pictures of authors I love. I'm one of those people who was born with zero talent in the drawing department, but I've practiced enough to at least do portraits that look like the cousins of the subjects. I'm curious if people can guess the names of the authors without my telling them. If anyone can guess all of them, I'll give them...something. Of no monetary value. (I'm poor, damn it!) What do you think?





(These last two are the oldest and worst.) Poor [lower left] came out rather disturbing looking.

I only recognize Shakespeare, Joyce, Faulkner & (I think) Marx.

Hopefully I'm not completely off.

yikes! i suck at this! shakespeare was easy, but i don't really pay attention to what authors look like.
but seriously, the dude with the eye patch is SO AWESOME!
great renderings man!

Eyepatch Guy is Joyce.

These are great drawings! I don't recognize any except Shakespeare, though. I don't really ever know what writers look like. That will probably change with the internet, though.

Hey, BRSloan, there may be a market someday in author portraiting. Just a thought....
