It has. TY This is one of my earlier graphite drawings I can see many places to improve. Original was 16 x 20...this is not a good scan. This was the first print I had made and actually it sold very well.

Original Post: "A PENCIL FOR LEIGH" a/k/a "A BUFFALO FOR LEIGH"

After hearing from some of you, I decided to do a "pencil" that is not some "tough, dirty looking cowboy" or an older Native American with wrinkles all over their face. Some wanted to see what I do with a woman's face. Here goes nothing! If after I start this "pencil" of Leigh and it does not come out the way I want, boy, am I going to have a red face. Anybody game? Please feel free to post any comments, anytime, anywhere throughout this post. The "more the merrier." Take notes if you wish...quiz later.

Before I get started with the "pencil" of Leigh, I want to let you know a little bit of how I did the self-portrait a few weeks ago.

First the hard part for me is coming up with just the right pose. Then what to wear, what props, what shot angle, what lighting and lastly what background? I went through all this when I did my "HEAVEN AT 10,000 FEET" piece. Please keep in mind that the 26 hours I had doing this "pencil" did not include the photo shoot or the PhotoShop work.
