Sam Joesbury is responsible for the Lehmann sketch and has posted on his own Instagram account: “My latest A3 pencil drawing and probably the most time consuming graphite drawing I’ve ever done!@alishalehmann7had to be drawn perfect from the hair to the holes on the training bib! It’s definitely one of my best drawings and I’m thrilled with the outcome!”

WHAT NEXT?

Joesbury has previously produced a piece for Lehmann’s boyfriend Douglas Luiz, presenting him with said drawing – which features him in a Brazil jersey – after an Aston Villa game. He was also invited onto the pitch at Villa Park to gift a picture to Diego Carlos.
