I was so
enthralled with the HBO
Series "Deadwood," it so inspired me to
pick up the "pencil" to do
this portrait of Custer. First
of all, I am not a fan of this
man, but isn't he
posed for a wicked look or
what? This "pencil" was
drawn using a photograph
for reference taken by
photographer, Matthew
Brady.
The original is 8.5" x 10.75"
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 #4 lead, while
the remainder was
darkened with a #6 and #8
leads. Total time to
complete was 10 hours.
