I drew this portrait of the four Beatles members using only a pencil and paper. From left to right, the order is George, Paul, John, Ringo. I was going for an early-career look (like maybe around the release of “Beatles For Sale”, or “Rubber Soul”). Rather than using one photograph of the whole group for reference, I used individual reference photos for each Beatle but drew them all together so my final product was a totally unique image. After I had finished, I took a photo of the art and decided to play with the lighting/contrast to make it look cleaner.
This blog represents the study of The Beatles as done by a high school class devoted to this topic. All posts here are made by the students or the teacher of the class. They represent the views of a great array of people and will hopefully provide insight on how The Beatles continue to inspire and influence our culture today.
