Elvis Sighting


Graphite (hb, 3b, and 5b) on 14"x11" 100 lb. Canson Bristol Vellum, medium tooth.

The detail shot is a truer representation of the paper color. Somehow the full shot took on that warm cast.

A dear friend in Tennessee asked me to do an Elvis drawing for her. I used to do a lot of celebrities in the 80's & 90's. So I went upstairs to check out my collection of Elvis photos and found a drawing I had started 8 or 9 years ago!! Needless to say, I jumped on that like a 'duck on a June bug'! Here he is all finished and just awaiting my friend's approval. We'll see if he has a new home after all this time. She might like it or she might not...she can do whatever she wants to do, as long as she don't step on my blue suede shoes. ;)
ps...She didn't like it. She said she Lovvvveesss it...( I think I spelled it close to the way she did.) Anyhow, Elvis will be heading to Tennessee.

Generation Montage--Graphite


Something really different this time, dear readers.

This is graphite (hb, 3b, and 5b) on 100 lb. Canson Bristol Vellum, medium tooth.
C&C welcome. The paper is 14 x11...image size is 12x9.
The last time I did a graphite drawing like this was at least 7 years ago. This drawing includes gran, dad, and son. It went surprisingly fast and was surprisingly fun and rewarding. The son goes by spOOky and hosted this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. He posted separate pics of his dad and gran. He uses his photo as his avatar. I just combined all three pictures into a generational montage. Let me know what ya think!

This was a lot of fun to get back into. If anyone out there in cyber-land is interested in having a graphite portrait done, please contact me by email.
