Edward Lear

For my final major project at the Hull School of Art & Design I am going to look at the work of Edward Lear, here is a quick sketch I drew, trying out some new fineliners and markers.

Edward Lear (12 May 1812 – 29 January 1888) was an English artist, illustrator, author, and poet, renowned today primarily for his literary nonsense, in poetry and prose, and especially his limericks, a form that he popularised.
