Dubbaya




You gotta love old George Dubbaya Bush. I've researched a lot of artist's and it seems like they have always come up with their own version of him. This is just a sketch to see if I could push his features a bit. I had a hard time with the values (like normal) but that's what these tests are for! I struggle using anything other than a #2 pencil. I used a HB, 2B, and 4B sketching pencil on this and felt like I was drawing with my tongue... which might not be a bad idea since I can roll it both directions. Anyways, I'll probably take another shot at this here shortly.

Oh my...that is so cool!!
I knew who it was right away and it gave me a good laugh too.
I know nothing about the pencil dilemma but I'd say you did great.
LOVE IT!!

There are certain parts that I LOVE in this picture! Just under and to the right of the eye, and on the neck. I really like it when there is a bit of the cross-hatch, but not too much. I think you have gotten better with this one. Very nice!

Dave, you are so dang good! I have three of the most talented brothers ever. Maybe I should take a turn at it! haha.
