Humans, Activites Carol Ann Henstra
An Old business man still dressed up at 80 odd years having time out to ponder for moments in an easy chair as he might consider. His comfy. I used my new pen and lightly sketched him. This time I am learning more of the shapes in art to move in this picture. His hands , facial expressions and his huge glasses. Details a tie, handkerchief in pocket.
The creases in his pants and his mouth expression as an old aged man.
Good sketch of the man. I like the slight indication of hair on his head. You did a good job on the folds in his suit and oh, so many fun details. Love the glasses too...they are so hard to do!
Thanks so much for dropping in and leaving your reactions to our art! We appreciate your comments! They are now being moderated however, to weed out spammers!
I recognize him because I drew him, too! Many years ago while going through Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. (Great book!)
ReplyDeleteYes It was pretty different to do. Yes you draw from the top to his feet. My son had the book in art school so I had the book in shelf still here.
ReplyDeleteSo it is some experience. Hard to believe I did it as I can hardly draw a complete circle ha-ha.
I was laughing as I was doing in a page in my old sketch book. So I cut the page out as I had too.
Amazing what the brain can do
