      It’s interesting what a little color can imply.

      He does have that sort of look about him, part of why I enjoy drawing him so much.
      Thank you

    I agree with Humbird...these wonderful sketches really do appear to be bronze statues...and the detail in the second, close up, is truly amazing.
    The only thing that could possibly improve it is movement!
    WOW!!! :)

      “GE” deserves to have a sculpture placed somewhere for him, if for no other reason than to acknowledge his many struggles. He continues to live a so much harder life than any of those he models for.
      The lines appear to still be squiggling around for me. You may have to squint and stare.. A stiff drink sometimes helps too☺
      Thank you
