George Washington

This is another drawing based off my evening at The Charity Shop‘s Figure and Fruit Drawing Party a few weeks ago. My first drawing was a bit more abstract. In the first drawing I used different color lines. In this drawing, all of the lines are black, but with varying width and opacity. I’ll take you through the process…

This is the final 16″x20″ drawing.

Below is most of the background. The image is quite dark, so I tried to emphasize what the light revealed.

Here is much of the line drawing with the focus areas colored in.
