Such a talented guy

The power of the colouring pencil.

Our drawing skills are now focused on adding silly emojis and writing extra words when we run out of characters on Snapchat.

Here’s an example of our expertly-honed craft.

Someone who is a lot better at sketching that us is Dave Duffy.

Dave is an Irish artist and musician and he’s clearly a very talented guy if this portrait of Paul O’Connell is anything to go by.

Here’ a timelapse of the actual drawing of the piece of art, it’s so well done.

My Paul O'Connell portrait is finished. As soon as I get the man himself to sign it I'll be auctioning it and all money raised will be donated to the Haven charity, for which Paul acts as ambassador. You can bid any time you like though, just send me a message! Now the difficult task of finding a way of getting his attention begins. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I'll keep you posted. Please share this video!

Dave is planning to use the drawing to raise money for charity, “As soon as I get the man himself to sign it I’ll be auctioning it and all money raised will be donated to the Haven charity, for which Paul acts as ambassador.”
