Portrait of Lowery from the Newcastle team which may well be my favourite drawing of a University Challenge contestant so far.

A really good day's drawing today. Managed to get two whole teams finished. Still struggling with various members of the Bristol team who won episode #2 (broadcast about eight weeks ago now) and I need to crack on with this as another show went out on Monday so I have another winning team to draw...
