"Nick In Focus" - sketch of actor Nicholas Lea in charcoal on cartridge paper, December 2001

An old one from the archives. Actor Nicholas Lea's a busy guy, but his most well-known role is that of Krycek on The X Files. For that role, he cultivated a bad-boy look, used to good effect in this promotional photo. I don't have a great deal of experience sketching men, and I noted that I felt more free to experiment with heavy shadows with his heavier-set features than I do when sketching a woman. I was especially pleased with his ears and his lips.
