Thanks very much! I've enjoyed your comments on Mr. Apatoff's blog so I appreciate you commenting here. And yes, the eyes are meant to be closed - it just bugged me that they might look open!
Thanks guys! Wendi, I almost always use a #3 or 4 synthetic watercolor brush with ink. The line variety with a brush is way better than any pen I've seen. The paper is hotpress watercolor paper, because I don't like too much tooth.
Kagan,
ReplyDeleteyour blowing my mind dude!
What was your process like on this? Did you pencil anything first? It looks like you one timed it with ink!
AWESOME!
Thanks! Yes, I did it straight-to-ink, but had reference of Ramsey's profile and a separate piano shot.
ReplyDeleteDo you see his eyes as closed or open?
Fantastic drawing, the essence of both Ramsey Lewis and jazz, cool effortless class.
ReplyDeleteClosed (if they are meant to be open don't ever admit it)
