CHIEF TOSH~A~WAH

This is a "pencil" of "Chief Tosh~A~Wah," (Tosawi) a Commanche. He is wearing a "Jeff Davis" hat along with a presidential peace medal around his neck. "Chief Tosh~A~Wah" was drawn using a photograph for reference taken by photographer, William S. Soule in 1868.

The original is 7.5" x 10" overall. It is drawn on medium weight, hot press Crescent Illustration Board. German made Faber-Castell Drawing Pencils were used. The majority of the "pencil' was done with a #6 lead, while the remainder was darkened with a #8 lead. Total time to complete was almost 12.5 hours.
