Back to Nathan Fowkes

My friend Ray is practicing charcoal and doing his AMAZING digital work, and chatting with him got me inspired to run through the Nathan Fowkes demo I did a few years ago.  Lots of fun, looking forward to applying and playing with the concepts this year.

As far as I was prepared to take it on newsprint 

Laid in and rough.

Doodles and a life drawing gesture

Co-workers's beard!

Riffing on another co-worker.  including the whole process.

Co-worker carricature continued ...

More versions of said co-worker.  Starting with the final, and working back through the process.  The final version was gifted to and subsequently framed by said co-worker.
