23. George Washington


In God We Trust.

I had a dollar in my pocket so I figured I'd take a crack at the Father of Our Country.  Possibly the most iconic portrait of all time.  What the hell, bring it on.

I was trying to stay pretty faithful to the source material, so it's got the rigid feeling of an engraving.  Could have loosened up a little.  And despite the bravado it's not a great drawing.  But I was happy with it.  Whaddaya want for a buck?

I didn't make amends to GW, but I did draw him again.  Turned out a lot better.
