RE: iTalent Round 9: “Junebug” Feb. 22, 1933 - Nov. 1, 1996
This is really awesome @dandays! Portraits I imagine must be very difficult to do! Besides 'your' lips being a bit fuller and eyes a big wider, the similarities are really striking!! And what do I know? I"m a master stick-man artist myself haha
Gonna send this one off to c-squared too :) I'm also curious to see what @edprivat comes up with! :)
Thank you again, a bajillion! You rock! As Mel B. would say “spot on brotha!” No, but really though.. good 👁.
The lips were the very first thing I did and I did them with a mechanical pencil. It’s the only time I used the mechanical pencil (noted!) and immediately I saw the size difference! Had I used a No.2 or a Graphite I would’ve been able to adjust them.. ‘mechanic pencil, beginning details - Bad idea!’ “Got it!” And the eye’s! Laugh out loud. I had a finish product in my hand and again, like I always do, I asked my wife to “pick it apart.” She studied it for a long time and she, too, “the lips” and at that moment “her eyes are too close together.” I had just enough eraser and room to open her eyes up and yup.. too far! Danget!
Thanks for stopping by @lynncoyle1, it’s always a pleasure hearing from you.
haha @dandays, your comments always make me laugh ... like you're sitting here with a beer in hand, telling your story!
You're welcome, but the pleasure is always mine 😎
