The AUTUMN LEAVES Of RED And GOLD...
Here's a re-presentation of an old pencil sketch from 1980, which I drew standing up whilst looking down at the subject - who, incidentally, was reading my then-brand-new copy of HOW To DRAW COMICS The MARVEL WAY. (Which I got autographed by STAN LEE eleven years later.) However, lazy me couldn't be bothered drawing the cover, so I blacked it out to avoid having to bother with any unnecessary detail. Even though I say so myself, it was a perfect likeness and everybody acquainted with him knew who it was on sight.
As you see, the chair is low and the subject rather gangly, so because of the angle I was observing from, it looked as if he was too big for the chair. Perhaps I should've added some background detail to give a better sense of perspective, but I decided it could wait 'til I'd watched some paint dry. If you enlarge it, you'll see that it was drawn on the back of computer print-out paper which was lying around the subject's flat. Not too bad for ten minutes work. In the photo below, you can see that he was indeed rather lanky and the chair low, just as described.
Anyway, just learned this very afternoon that the subject passed away in September of this year due to issues associated with Alzheimer's, thereby drawing down the curtain on another aspect of my teenage years and mid-'20s. Although I hadn't spoken with him since 1986 (he and his wife worked abroad for some years and then resided somewhere in England), it's still sad to hear of his demise. Yet another leaf fallen from the tree, alas. R.I.P. Paul Farrant.
