Design Stack: A Blog about Art, Design and Architecture: Graphite Celebrity Portrait Drawings

A fine collection of celebrities from different eras.

Gazdep drew all of the likenesses you see on this page.

A realistic grouping of present and past celebrity from around the world. They encompass many different disciplines. Acting is the most prevalent. They are followed by singers, band members, a bodybuilder and a footballer.

Some of these celebrities have straddled occupations over the years, trying their hand at different disciplines.

I have tried to bring together the ones I personally like and the ones that would be more recognised by the majority of the viewers of this post.

Even the ones that passed away many years ago are still relevant with many people that keep their memories alive by carrying on consuming their art.

Having a portrait of a person you know well and whose features you are very familiar with is the perfect way of judging the accuracy of the artist's work.

In my opinion the drawings are very faithful to the look and feel of the person they were inspired by.

It goes without saying that I like all of the people on this page. The one I would single out, though, is Peter Falk and his portrayal playing Lieutenant-Columbo. As well as this series, he has played in numerous comedies in which he is the main source of the laughing scenes. Fantastic actor and a loss to the big and the small screen.

I am sure that many, if not all, of the people in this post bring back memories of a moment/s in your life. Do the faces bring them up for you? I hope they are all pleasant and happy ones and so is your Wednesday.
