Lockdown
A run of Marcelo Bielsa portraits drawn during lockdown, when football stopped and sketching El Loco was the closest thing to watching him available.
About the Project
A run of Marcelo Bielsa portraits I drew during lockdown, when the Championship was suspended and sketching El Loco was about as close as anyone could get to actually watching him. A global respiratory pandemic, it turned out, doesn't sit especially well alongside a Championship season.
Drawn entirely on the iPad, which became the only studio on offer once the world decided to stay indoors for a while.
Open any figure to inspect surface, print detail, and framing more closely without losing the overall sequence.
Sequence note
Every figure here opens full-screen — click any plate to expand it, then arrow or swipe through the sequence without losing your place. The work is drawn at resolutions far beyond the page, so getting closer is actively encouraged.
