A-ha! you thought I had forgotten. Well no! I was pretty dazed last week with the office move, but now I'm back on my feet. As promised I give you Sir Roger George Moore, well known for his suave and witty demeanour. Best known for portraying two British action heroes, Simon Templar and James Bond.

For the previous James Bond I sketched with pencil before inking and I kept feeling the results were not the same as with usual leftling portraits, this time I went straight for the ink and I have to say I am really pleased. I hope you like him too.

Sir Thomas Sean Connery is an Academy Award-winning Scottish actor and producer who is perhaps best known as the first actor to portray James Bond seven times. SEVEN! coincidence? I think not!

After a friend's request I've decided to dedicate a couple of the coming drawings to the excellent 007. I have started with good old paddy Bond Pierce Brosnan.

what's this all about?

    Years ago I realized that if tried to draw with my left hand wonderful things happened. Since then I've explored the technique in both personal and commercial projects. The drawings have made it to a number of printed and online publications. I've finally yielded to the blog fever and decided to give them a home here.

    In other words: I am right handed. I draw like this with my left hand.

the technique

    My technique changes from time to time, depends on circumstances, the mood and what I'm after but here's a rough step through to give you an idea:

    I've found the best results happen when I jump straight to ink. With a thin pen I draw the basic structure of the composition. With a sharp pencil I add some more texture to give it some depth. Sometimes I cheat by keeping my left hand still in midair and moving the sketchbook instead. Since the core of the drawing has been done I pass around the outline with a thick pen quickly with my right hand. Finally I scan the drawingand when I think it needs it I add some textures in Photoshop.
