Design Stack: A Blog about Art, Design and Architecture: Ink Sketchbook Celebrity Drawings

A varied assortment of celebrities that span the centuries.

Marcos Medeiros drew all of the likenesses you see on this page.

There is a truly eclectic mixture here:  Musicians, painters, a philosopher, actors, film maker/director…  I think they are all accounted for?

The oldest by far on our page is 5th-century BCE Greek philosopher Socrates.  The rest, even if old, are pups in comparison.

As well as being famous, all of these people have very strong personalities to go with the reason they are so well-known and their works are so loved by their fans.

All of the people captured in this post come with faces full of gorgeous detailing waiting to be captured by expert portrait artists like Medeiros.

Do you recognise any of the portraits, names or their works?

Have a look though and maybe look up a couple of them.
