Bonjour!

It's been a while since I've drawn Serge. I was about to post a drawing on here yesterday then I noticed if I waited until today it would be 5 YEARS since the last post! Here's a new drawing - originally drawn in my sketchbook with ballpoint pen and colour pencil and then coloured in Procreate on the iPad Pro. If anyone else fancies drawing Serge then send them in (contact details to the right).

Joann Sfar

I've been busy recently so I haven't been paying the attention I should do to Draw Serge but I'm about to remedy that in quite a spectacular fashion. Today's contribution ("The Evolution of Gainsbourg") comes from no other than Joann Sfar! If you're a Gainsbourg fan and a regular visitor to this blog and you don't know who Joann Sfar is then you should be ashamed!

This pic was procured for me by the brilliant Joe Decie. Merci, Joe!

A big thank you to all the artists involved and to Le Truc for hosting the event and keeping us all fed and watered all day.

Next - Draw Serge LIVE ON ICE!(not really).

Serge Baeken

Here's a great Serge by a Serge - Serge Baeken. Serge is a cartoonist and illustrator from Antwerp. "I drew this Serge after seeing a home video of Jane Birkin that was broadcasted on Arte. The portrait was published to illustrate an article on Gainsbourg in Zone5300, a Dutch comic and cult magazine."

Marc Stipling


Today's Serge comes courtesy of Marc Stipling, the person who cuts my hair. That's right, I won't let anyone near these locks who isn't capable of drawing Monsieur Gainsbourg. I think that's a good rule to live your life by.

John Fisher


John Fisher is (in his own words) an "amateur artist" from the North West of England. He's really captured Gainsbourg! I was sent this Serge back in October but only found it in my spam folder this week! Sorry for the delay in bringing this one to you. John's blog can be found HERE.
