pencil
8 x 8
A post or so ago I mentioned that ink, silverpoint and pencil were my favorite drawing media, so it occurred to me that maybe I should post a pencil drawing. So here's a pencil drawing.
This guy has a great face. It just cried out for a character study to be done. I took a few pictures of him one day while he was telling stories and making arrow heads (he's a flint knapper actually, but I liked the stories). We were sitting under a tree on a nice fall day having a fine time, and it never occurred to me that the bail of hay I was sitting on might be full of ticks. Well, it seems I took a few of them home with me along with the reference photos.

Beautiful drawing! you have really caught the expression.
Thank you, and thanks for taking the time to comment. This guy really had a great face.
Great eye for details. The work on his beard must have taken forever to complete.
As I remember, the beard wasn't that bad, but the shirt with that pattern was a challenge. Lots of contours to follow.
