Wish I could draw like Ronald Searle. A master. And turned 91 in March!
Searle’s style inspired the original 101 Dalmations animation (fab film, see a bit here, miles better than the real-life remake). Here’s a few of his sharp, calligraphic drawings, and pic of some of his tools, from very flexible dip nibs to bamboo pen, via this tribute blog to the man himself
BTW thanks to a) Simon Baddeley’s generosity b) wonders of the web c) serendipity, I suddenly have a new bike, just like my old one but with better locks. In return I’m drawing Simon scything his allotment. How did we cope before the internet?
