Yes, he's getting older - but always fun to draw. Original picture was sketched in light pencil with my favorite quick sketcheroo pencil: the Papermate Sharpwriter number 2 mechanical pencil. The hatching was done completely with the Pigma Micron 01 technical marker. Total time including all the hatching: about 60 minutes. I've been working on a David Levine look this summer - I've been practicing duplicating 2-3 drawings a week right out of the New York Book Review. I start with the little 1 x 2 to 3 x 4 inch pictures, hold them right up to my nose to see how, what and WHY he hatches the way he does. I'm getting a feel for it. Maybe not a 100 % original idea (though the pictures you're getting are 100% originals as always) It's great practice to imitate another's style - as long as you're not trying to sell off your copied work as original. (Note: you won't find a Pete Townsend caricature by David Levine. If you do, I've never seen it. :-) A foopah: can you find the mistake in the drawing? I'll give you a hint, they come in pairs and you look through them. Let me know if you find it - it's a "symmetry" issue. Until next time.... ...have a great week, and keep on drawing! Warmly, Jeff
