After many days longer than I expected, I finished the drawing of Vernon. These photos show the progress, with the finished artwork at the bottom.
When I started, I thought the beard was going to be the most challenging part, but I think perhaps the hat was just as 'interesting'...

| The yellow-look to the photo is because I photographed it at night. |
 |
| By the time I began working on the area around the figure I realised that the job was not nearly over, yet...!! |
 |
| The big cover-up. It is important to keep the paper clean, and the only way to enqure there are no grubby smudges is to expose only the area being worked on. It's a rest for my eyes too. |

| Starting the foliage |
 |
| The background tone. Yet another challenge in gentleness and even handling. |
 |
| DA-NAAAAA!! |
Of course, this is only the prep for the oil painting! I had a day off before transferring the image on to canvas. See the next post!
