Hi Guys, I hope smudger Jnr does not mind me sharing this project with you, a quick 20 minute 'working' charcoal study of Smudger Snr with white highlights on grey paper. I like the charcoal as it seems to have the 'feel' of the era, although as a completely freehand unmeasured sketch it may lose something in likeness that it makes up for in character. Thanks for looking! Cheers Soren
Soren, I do not mind in the least. I am really looking forward to seeing the real portrait in the flesh! I like what I see so far!! Regards Tom
Paul, Looking at what Soren has produced so far I have no doubt that I will extremely pleased with the outcome. Regards Tom
Don't worry Smudger you will get a polished portrait these were just studies I shall send you the prepatory sketches with the finished piece Paul ~ Let me know what your Dad thinks Cheers
