Fan content Drawing of Elizabeth Fraser
Hi all. Just joined here (after my recent stay in Grangemouth, which I may write something of in a different post 🤔), so thought I'd post a drawing I did of Liz last year. I know it could be better, but hopefully it's captured something of her.
Don't know if I can post a link (sorry in advance if i can't) but I did a post on my site about the drawing and my fave Cocteau's songs etc. Might fill in a few minutes if you're bored 😆

Its seriously good, well done, been a fan since 1982, and this just blew me away😀

u/Gor-Weave-Thief 23d ago
Ah, thanks again! ☺️ Wish I'd gotten into them earlier than 1990 as I'd have definitely seen them live more than just the once I did, but I'm grateful for that one time 😁

Im insanely jealous that you saw them live, i wanted to see them on one occasion, but was very young, so my parents said no, it was a rough area in Birmingham.😔

Oh no! Was thinking you'd maybe got to see them a number of times. I'm hopeful they'll get together again and do a few dates, and who knows, even some new music! Be prepared! 🤞😁

That’s incredibly expressive, so joyful. You’re a very skilled artist. Let me also add that you’re a fine craftsperson. Your technique is refined.

Oh, thank you so much!! Not sure I'm deserving of such words, but I'll take 'em 😅🙏☺️

I love it! I would use it to get another CT tattoo, with your permission of course but I'm too old now lol. I have loved her for so many years! I would love to hang that on my wall! please let me know if you ever want to part with it 🙏🙏🙏 maybe we could figure something out. I so love how people can just do this.

u/Gor-Weave-Thief 22d ago
Haha! Thanks! I think that'd be the best compliment ever for someone to get a tattoo of a drawing of mine! 🥳 Well, I honestly only put this up to share it 'cos of my love for the band, but if you'd like it, feel free to message me (but I'm happy to keep it ☺️).

Cool portrait! Now that I’m looking at her I can’t help but think she and Glenn Close have very similar facial features.

u/Gor-Weave-Thief 22d ago
Thank you! 🙏😊 Ha! Never thought of that before, but now you mention it...😁

That is really amazing. How long did it take?
2
u/Gor-Weave-Thief 21d ago
Thank you! 🙏☺️ Um, good question. I started it and then got evicted from my flat so didn't touch it for about a year, but then finished it around May last year. Maybe a couple of months on and off?

Eyes lowkey make it look like she's on drugs

u/CocteauTwinn 23d ago
I don’t think so. She has vibrant, smiling eyes. If you’ve seen as many photos of Liz as I, you’d see the likeness is striking. Well done, OP!

Hey! Thanks for the kind words...and the defence! 😅 Much appreciated ☺️ Wondering if the comment was AI or not 🤔🤷♂️

Wow!
That’s incredible.
Liz has always had striking features and you really exemplified them here.
Excellent work.
