Andy is one of my oldest friends. We’ve known each other since 1st
grade and did the whole growing up thing together. In fact, he’s Lucie’s godfather. He is a very unique and intense individual and a great
guy. Friends to the end.
First, I laid out a flat grey middle tone to act as
a base and used an eraser to carve out the white areas and build up the
composition. I tried to do as much as I
could with just the eraser, and then went in with pencil to darken up the eyes,
nose and mouth. I wanted the whole
drawing to be just tone, no lines. But
since I laid the initial grey tone on pretty heavily, I couldn’t erase it back
to a clean white and as a result the drawing looks grey and foggy. Live and
learn.
So – not my best work by any means. Draftsmanship is bad, the drawing is stiff
and dour, and the rust is showing. But
hey, that’s why I’m doing this right? I
need to get better.
