I continue to experiment with a drawing technique that
I think creates a unique presentation. Its a simple approach,
drawing portraits without the benefit of shading or any form of line
work softening other than line density. I find when I draw people
this way I get a level of detail that I find fascinating – taking the time
to study and draw another’s features at a level of detail that exaggerates
the smallest elements of their faces in a way that I think emphasizes
their individual & unique character lines – but many can find intimidating
or artificially “aging” the subject. In this example, I have drawn a friend
of mine who was brave enough to allow me to do so.
Please let me introduce you to my friend, Mr. Reginald Goodman, Air Force
LtCol (ret), who continues to work in the service of our country within
NAVAIR.
