Alex at Phonic FM
This is a series of drawings & sketches of musician and all-round good egg, Alex Kumar.
Who I have seen at several appearances in Exeter’s ’Phonic FM‘ studio, with Mark & Steve and their ‘The Last Transmission‘ show and at other venues. Playing his unique blend of ‘folk/blues’ and chatting about the history of the ‘Blues’ and life in general.
It’s always a pleasure to listen to Alex playing and hear his thoughts on life, the universe and everything.
Materials Used
These sketches are mostly in a Arboreta heavy-weight 160g/m sketch pad & Daler Rowney, Red & Yellow cartridge pad. I’ve used a 6B pencil, fineliner pen and dip pen with black ink.

He gave us three cracking new tunes that I had not heard before.
Pen sketch with a little watercolour wash added after, on Daler-Rowney cartridge paper.

I tried to capture him as best I could with a pencil. Though I found this harder because he wasn’t sitting as still as usual when he’s singing into a microphone. But I was still pretty pleased with it.
The second was a quick pen sketch of Alex and the ‘Kumets’ – well that’s what Dave liked to call themselves, Alex wasn’t so sure about the name!
